Re: Repetier-Host V1.0.4 extruder calibration - 9 years ago

I just had a similar issue but with my Z-axis. It's steps/mm were twice as much it aught to have been, and when I changed it in the EEPROM in repetier host, the z-axis would move in the wrong direction. My solution was to change my steps/mm in the firmware instead, then re-flash and test. It worked out well for me.

Re: Endstops are being ignored. Please help! - 10 years ago

It works!!! I had my endstops wired into the RAMPS board incorrectly. I had pin 4 plugged into Ground (-), and pin 1 plugged into Signal (S). If my endstops were wired Normally Closed the connection would have been fine. However, my endstops are wired "Normally Open". So I needed to plug pin 3 (or 2 since they are actually connected on the little endstop board) into Signal (S) and pin 4 int

Re: looking for laser cutting service USA - 10 years ago

Hi! I can laser cut those parts for you. Let me know if you still need that done. Also, Im not sure what part of the U.S. you're in but there is a relatively new work shop with locations throughout the US called TechShop. You may be able to take a laser cutting class there, and laser cut your own parts. Not to mention they have tons of other cool "toys" to play with there. Google them.

Re: strange problems - 10 years ago

I thing your z issue is in your movement settings. Note there there are separate speed settings for homing or manual moves and print moves. You'll have to play around with those. I suspect the issue is with your print movement settings, not your homing/manual movement settings since you say it homes perfectly. Most importantly, something to be mindful of is if you have your EPROM turned on, y

Endstops are being ignored. Please help! - 10 years ago

Hello all, I'm building a 3d printer using the Marlin firmware on a RAMPS 1.4 board. I'm having an issue with my endstops not being triggered in repetier-host. I've sent the M119 code to check the endstop status and it reads Open on all 6 mechanical endstops. (I have min and max hooked up NC) When I press an endstop manually while sending the M119 command, I still get Open on all 6 endstops.

Re: Use pulley as idler - 10 years ago

While building my own printer, I started out using a toothed pulley as an idler. I didn't think it would be an issue because thats how the Solidoodle is designed and it works fine. Eventually I ended up swapping that toothed pulley out for flanged bearings on my machine and it seemed to work better. I think the main reason that worked better had more to do with the way I had idler pulley mou
