I got that after going to the wiki page. Everything is good, X,Y,Z MAX = Triggered, Z MIN = open. I engaged the probe by hand and entered it again and all were triggered. Then I realized I've been looking at this all wrong. I need to write the program for it using G29 to probe. So, I wrote the program and got it to work. I tried a small print and it seems like it simply lowered Z. Instead of shby Knicknac - Reprappers
Hey Everyone, I've been printing away. I don't have any photos up yet, but I will when it's fully calibrated. My first print was a tiny block. I had no idea it would come out that small. Then I took it back up to almost original size and that went excellent. A buddy of mine from work gave me an .stl for a small Cat40 toolholder and that was cool too. Then I printed The One Ring. It wasby Knicknac - Reprappers
ok, I got that figured out. It's feeding at the proper steps per mm. It was set at 84, I moved it to 80 and it's perfect. It was throwing me off because it was set as "189/2.25, 189/2.25, 189/2.25, 100". but when I did the math it was 84, so I just moved it to 80 and that's another problem solved. Now I need to know how to run the auto-level routine and I should be ready to test the hotendby Knicknac - Reprappers
I just took 3 measurements. I should be getting .393 movement, but I'm getting .414 I'm going to look for the formula for calculating steps per mm in the firmware. So, it's extruding so far, I'm going to try some more at 10mm increments.by Knicknac - Reprappers
Hello everyone, I first want to say thank you for all of the help thus far, it's been invaluable to my progress. Tadawson, thank you, I try most of what you suggest and it has been a great help. I see you commenting quite a bit for the things I need to think about and it's kept me moving in the right direction. So, I'm back to powered up now. It turns out I needed a new stepper drby Knicknac - Reprappers
Ok, I've been messin with this all day today. I heat up the nozzle and my extruder motor doesn't respond. I was ready to bring in some filament but it won't jog. It's back on the bench, the motor moves freely so it's not locked up. Only when I completely shut down and close Pronterface, then restart everything, will it respond. And there's no movement. Just a high pitch noise. I took the idler asby Knicknac - Reprappers
Slicr3 is integrated into Pronterface. I just downloaded Openscad and saved a basic cube with letters on every side. I was able to save the gcode as a file after slicing. I think it sliced it anyway. So I guess I just suck that into Pronterface now?by Knicknac - Reprappers
I've been trying to figure out what my next step is. I have my printer configured, I'm assuming my next step is to run an auto-level routine. I've also been looking at files to try out on Thingiverse, like a test block or something but the file formats aren't compatible. So, basically, I'm sitting here with a printer that's ready to go and pronterface can't open anything. Thiniverse files are usiby Knicknac - Reprappers
Speaking of the threadless shaft holes......I made sure mine were pushed in up to the head and then a dab of super glue just to tack the head in place. It works great so far.by Knicknac - Reprappers
Ok guys, I'm done with the configuration manual. Everything seems to be working great. Now I assume I need to run a test on the autoleveling feature. Just not sure how or where that program is. Any advice now that I've come this far?by Knicknac - Reprappers
My pulleys are 20 tooth, I counted them the last time we talked about this. What line do I look at for steps/mm and microstepping?by Knicknac - Reprappers
Hello again everyone, I've been gone for a min. waiting for my metal corners, which I have installed, and I did receive a replacement motor. I have installed that as well. So, I'm back to where I left off basically, trying to configure everything. I just realized that my steps per millimeter must be off because I made an adjustment to be able to do the paper test and the nozzle does not moby Knicknac - Reprappers
I counted the teeth on my pulleys, they are indeed 20 teeth. I downloaded the correct firmware and successfully completed the paper test. I then moved to set up the auto leveling probe. While doing that I've developed a new problem. My Z axis motor is now locked up and when I try to move home it just makes this horrible noise like it's grinding and won't move at all. I can't even move it by hand.by Knicknac - Reprappers
@dc42 - They sent me a GT-2 belt.by Knicknac - Reprappers
When I went back and looked at the contents of the kit on Folger's site, it says they are 36 teeth, and I downloaded the firmware for 36 teeth. But i'll definitely count the teeth on the pulley and post my findings this evening. If it's 20 then I'll go back and get the correct firmware package too. @Dougal - there are no lead screws on this printer. It's belts and pulleys only. But I do appreciatby Knicknac - Reprappers
I didn't get an accurate measurement of that movement, but basically, yes. I give it a nominal new number and it does not move that much. I checked the lines of code for steps/mm and their correct for 36 tooth. (Am I thinking of that parameter correctly?) I thought last night that maybe i really have a 20 tooth pulley but not sure about that yet. I'm at work now though, so I can't dig in to it unby Knicknac - Reprappers
Thanks for the reply guys. What I meant to say and didn't is that the change in parameter at line 346 is 453.9 before I can even attempt the paper test. That's way off of the number the manual says I should be at. The starting value is 253.9 and I'm supposed to subtract whatever number I use to get to the plate. I did install the jumpers. I even went back to check the orientation of the driversby Knicknac - Reprappers
Hello everyone, It's been 3 weeks since I got the kit and I'm getting the firmware set up. I'm using Marlin Delta 1.6.4 from the Folger Tech website. I originally had an issue with the printer allowing movement at all. I went back and re-seated the thermistors to the board, looking at the build manual again to be sure where they hook up, and it worked. I can home out at the endstops just fby Knicknac - Reprappers
