just asking....if i set the z axis to .5 from the current setting of 8, that would be the fast rate right? now that leads to the question, my slow rate is currently set at 2 now. so should i set it lower that .5, the same or ignore it for now? thank you!!!by Bernie - Printing
Thanks for taking a look. Alpha is X and at 100mm/sec fast and 25 slow. Beta is Y and at 100mm/sec fast and 25 slow. Gamma is Z and at 8 mm/sec fast and 2 slow. The X and Y axis are moving fine. Only the Z axis is stalling. So your saying the 8mm/sec should be close to 1?by Bernie - Printing
The below is a snippet of the homing config file. Seems low already. Any thoughts? Should I still go lower? alpha_fast_homing_rate_mm_s 100 # feedrates in mm/second beta_fast_homing_rate_mm_s 100 # " gamma_fast_homing_rate_mm_s 8 # " alpha_slow_homing_rate_mm_s 25 # " betby Bernie - Printing
Hi people< I have been having a print problem with a new printer built from an online design. Here is a link to the design, . I have yet to print even one thing completely. I made changes as some of you folks suggested to make the whole printer 24vdc instead of the split in the design of hot bed on 24vdc and controller board running steppers, hot end, and fans on 12vdc. My problem has been whby Bernie - Printing
Well I have posted here and gotten enough suggested to me to get my extruder issue corrected. Unfortunately now I have another issue. My setup in my configuration file was wrong for steps per mm on the z axis. I corrected it by increasing the number so when the bed was jogged 10mm it actually moved 10mm (it was only moving 2mm). This increase in the original 800 number for the 2mm had to be increby Bernie - Reprappers
Hey guys I’m having trouble with my extruder hot end maintaining extrusion. It just stops extruding and the extruder cold end starts to skip with an occasional pop of the filament guide tubing out of the cold end extruder. I still haven’t gotten a print to succeed. ( the test xyz cube on Thingiverse) My system, by the designer I’ve chosen has a 24vdc MPS that is split. 24 VDC runs the heated bedby Bernie - Reprappers
Ok..... as I keep finding out, I’m so behind the curve in 3D printer knowledge. I had a suggestion to change my hot end to 24vdc and do not power it through a buck boost device. Now my situation , yes has a 24vdc main power supply but I am only using the full voltage to power the heat bed. The buck boost knocks down the 24 to 12vdc witch then feed someone my mks sbase 1.3 board. It in turns powerby Bernie - Reprappers
I’ve been working at investigating my problem. Obviously different people have different ideas. One has suggested cooling is my problem. Not sure but will try no fans for a print effect if nothing else sounds better. One idea is to do a PID auto test before anything else. I like it not knowing if current settings are correct.

I just completed a reprap cartesian style printer. Trying to print my first item. The test xyz cube from Thingiverse. The printer preheats fine. Bed just right and hot end so the tft screen says. I choose the cura sliced test print and the head/carriage goes through its pre print ritual. Even extruding a few mm of filament. The head then moves to the center of my heated bed and starts to print. Iby Bernie - Reprappers

Well. I built a custom printer. RepRap coreXY . I’m ready to print. Tried today. Fired up all printer systems and ran operation check. Loaded object file with my custom defined printer selected in CURA. Sliced it saved it to SD card. Plugged it into my MKS sbase, 1.3, 32 bit/ tft 3.2 screen. Went to print icon and confirmed, then found file on the SD card. Printer started to print the “test XYZby Bernie - Reprappers
The second unused extruder terminals are being used to turn on a 12vdc hot end cooling fan at 40c and likewise shut the fan off when the hot end cools below 40c.by Bernie - Reprappers
No. With the wires running to the hot end removed from the board and the tft screen calling for heat no 12vdc is present. Yes the head is in working order. I can connect an external 12vdc power supply to the wires removed from the MKS board coming from the hot end and the hot end will heat normally. No short circuit. The hot end thermistor also registers the correct temperature on heat up and cooby Bernie - Reprappers
I have a newly built reprap printer built from a web posting and my tenacity. (repalmakershop.com) The build is complete and I have tested every system/function with success except one, the hot end will not turn on when called for on the TFT touch screen. Literally all other things work. Jogging, Homing, Hot Bed, Fans, Extruder cold end. Just the hot end will not turn on. I have replaced the MKSby Bernie - Reprappers
I have a 24vdc power supply. 12vdc is created via a boost Buck unit. Not positive what your saying. The 12vdc goes directly to the power terminals of my MKS 1.3 32 board. The terminals are labeled pos neg and are connected positive coming off the boost Buck to positive on the MKS board, likewise the negative. Doesn’t the MKS board distribute the positive 12v to the appropriate terminals/contractsby Bernie - Mechanics
I have a corexy RepRap custom built printer. I have only one problem. The hot end will not heat. The thermistor functions perfectly. The hot end heats when voltage applied separate from the MKS board. The tft screen reads the correct temp and shows when the user calls for heat by raising the setting. The hot bed works in entirety perfectly. All other systems/functions also work perfectly. Jog allby Bernie - Mechanics
