Not sure if this is the right place for this thread Looking for a little help. I am using cura 2.4 and utligcode. I am setting up a dual extrusion with single hot end. (Y adapter before the hotend) I am looking for the settings to add a script when the tool changes. What i am needing is this. When it goes from T0 to T1, I need it to retract X amount of filament of T0, then switch to T1 and extby xile6 - General New Machines Topics
For steps i believe its best to move in Z. That way the carriages are only moving up and there stepping. IF you move in X or Y and your rods are wrong in the firmware or any of the angles are wrong your get a different amount. Same reason your change your rod size in firmware to make parts bigger or smaller. So you cant just say that it is the steps. Also when you print out a part, the filamentby xile6 - Delta Machines
are you printing a test tower? There are ones that start off at 215 and end up at 180 to determent the best temp for that filament. So make sure you dont have a gcode that has that in it. Since your said your printing PLA. you need a layer fan. the filament is melting. From the heat of the layer on top. Your hotend fan probably has air flow on the print, while your low in Z .Once you move up moby xile6 - Delta Machines
Yea check the basic. Open pronterface program. Connect to the printer and in the open window next to send type in M119 This will tell you if your endstops are working or not. While the printer is in the middle or at the botton. (i.e. not touching the endstops) It should read X Open, Y Open Z Open If it reads trigger. Then press the endstop while sending the code. If that endstops now reads Trigby xile6 - Delta Machines
More information. what does the hotend setup look like? (part cooler fan, hotend fan blowing on bed etc....) what filament type was used? what temps? what speed and nozzle size? to me it looks like a bit of melting.by xile6 - Delta Machines

Hope you are having good time with printers I have a Micromaker 3D printer and i am new into the world of 3d printing :/ here are the troubles i am having so far: 1-The auto leveling is not working, when i try to do it the printer start doing the auto leveling at z=20mm or at least that's what i see on the LCD screen. 2-To have the right print i should print it with Xby xile6 - Delta Machines
QuoteKurzaa The following is the snippet of code in the Configuration.h file I was referring to. Not exactly sure what it all does as I am using FSR's and don't need to deploy / retract my Z probe. Hopefully it helps. // Z-Probe variables // Start and end location values are used to deploy/retract the probe (will move from start to end and back again) #define Z_PROBE_OFFSET {0, 10, -5.6, 0} /by xile6 - Delta Machines
Yea its still not calibrated. Have you check to make sure all your rods are the same lenght. But you can try to correct thisnwith endstops. Looks like the X Y needs to move down some more. So add like .5 to there number while leaving Z what it is. This should tilt, Picking up the Z and lowering the front. But it just truly seems these delta prints arent as forgiving as corey /prusa type. Everby xile6 - Delta Machines
5 means to rasie the hotend 5mm above where to probe triggers. -5 means lower it 0 means leave it. Now its possible that your Z height is wrong. The probe should drop down about 20mm above the bed. Probe and then end in the center (or probe stowed location) and be about 10mm from the bed. The probe one the Delta prints os for bed leveling. Not truly Bed height. So you want your Z height to be cby xile6 - Delta Machines
Change the probe Z offset. I.E. X 10 Y 20 Z -5 If its grinding into the the bed make the Z offset lower. Z-5 becomes Z -4 Keep going lower and lower till its right. I dont know how your probe is screw in but it could be as low as Z-0.1 Normally i find that most probes are between -0.4 and -2by xile6 - Delta Machines
On the marlin 1.1 rc If your getting probe out of bed. Then you need to adjust you probe radius. I should say something like print radius - diameter -10 Something like that. Well change the -10 to the a bit greater then the z probe offset. Ie. If your z prone is 20. Then change it to -20 It will now probe. Im not sure if this is the correct way to do it but i know it works when you do. I dont uby xile6 - Delta Machines
QuoteNoitome Ok so it appeared to be the stepper motor that got fried. Now for the final issue since I'm really stuck here. How come I can only upload sketches to the arduino when the ramps 1.4 is not attached? From the moment it's attached it gives errors in uploading while pronterface works fine. It's a real hassle disconnecting the ramps from the arduino every time I'm trying to configure someby xile6 - Delta Machines
Quotesaintcady It's better, but I'm not sure why. I installed the Prusa Firmware to check if the motor worked, which it did. I reloaded a fresh install of the Delta firmware and now it works. I guess I must have had a weird change somewhere in the firmware I was using before - it's possible a student changed something and forgot to tell me. Thanks for your help everyone!

QuoteLevon Quotexile6 @Levon If you still have the filament, burn it. Good idea, I'll collect leftovers and will try that out. For PLA you recon 200 degrees 30mm/s is okay? I ordered 1kg spool of PLA filament on ebay, still on its way, they say it's for 200-250 degrees so I decided to go with 200 for the Sintron one as well... Yea i normally do 195 for pla and 230 to 240 for abs on both my kby xile6 - Delta Machines
@Levon If you still have the filament, burn it. Take a lighter to it. If it burns and gives off a platic smell and black smoke its abs. If it melts and kinda has no smell or smells sweet. Then its pla. Some say do a bend test, abs bends vs breaks, but i couldnt get that to work with filament that was labled. But the burn test doesnt lie.by xile6 - Delta Machines
QuoteLevon Hi all, Did a little bit of more leveling, seems have relatively flat coordinates. Did test print of this thing. Did not expect to have so many bridging threads in between the towers. On one hand I realize that there is a pressure in the PTE tube made by the extruder motor and it's not possible to cut it out quickly, but on the other I haven't seen that kind of hairy mess on others' eby xile6 - Delta Machines

Quotegkr Hello xile6, Quotexile6 And yes if your lifting on one tower and grinding into the bed at another. Then your calibration is off. I spend a lot of time trying to use auto and calcs. But in the end manual calibration and test prints work. Can you please share further details how you did the manual calibration? Thanks. I moved the hotend to each tower. I used the tower position from Escby xile6 - Delta Machines
Quotesaintcady Ok, checked those lines in the firmware and they match what I have. I also checked each endstop by manually holding them down one at a time and sending m119. They all read triggered when held, open when not. The board is a mega 2560 with a RAMPS. X and Z motors are moving when directed, Y is not. Stepper driver install backwards? Or jumpers under it not installed?by xile6 - Delta Machines

Gotta have metal rails. Either smooth rods or extrudion. Everything else can be printed tho. There was a kit a while back that use printed rods arms. One of them had a printed joint and the other use the tranx end glue to printed rods. I have seen printed carriage setups nylon sliders, pla sliders.by xile6 - Delta Machines
Yea that was something i made when i frist started. It was made for the e3d clone. If you rotated it some it looks like it would had aim at your tip. But yes a fan on both size helps better, but if you have a stronger fan that works great too.by xile6 - Delta Machines

Sounds like that x stepper has a different tooth pulley on it. Recount it and see. You can also swap the x motor and endstop wiring with the Y. If the problems moves to the Y then its hardware. If the problem stays at the X then its software.by xile6 - Delta Machines
Frist your endstops are wired wrong. Delta type printers should use MAX From your pix you have it as min. Also dont kow how your endstops are setup but might be ser wrong. Swap them to the MAX spot. Then in pronterface connect to the printer viabusb and type M119 Into the consle window. This code will check the endstops. It should report Open when the switch isnt touch.
