Re: Folger Prusa i3 Kit from ebay - 11 years ago

So I would like to do the auto bed leveling upgrade to my printer. I have the servo and I found where to jumper to enable servo control on the ramps and where to plug the servo in. My question is do I wire the switch I am going to use for my Z probe switch to NO or NC? Also, please confirm that with the Z probe I want to put the two wires for the switch on the outside two pins of the MIN Z axis e

Quotebengele Not sure if this is confusing people or not but I took me a bit to figure it out. What I realized is that in Pronterface you are not giving it a command to move left/right, forward/backward, and up/down you are telling it to move +steps or -steps. That means once you have homed your printer (moving the bed all of the way forward and the head all of the way to the right) the coordina

Quotedougal1957 QuoteJSR82 QuoteTheLost QuoteJSR82 So, I am using Pronterface and walter's config file and if I leave it as is the X axis moves inverted and it homes properly. if I change to #define INVERT_X_DIR false from #define INVERT_X_DIR true then it moves in the proper direction but homes in the opposite direction. So I tried changing #define X_HOME_DIR -1 to #define X_HOME_DIR 1 in order

QuoteErraticDecay Hmm - ensure you have downloaded the most recent version of Marlin (I see you say you have done that) and do not use the files from folgertech. You also might try using Pronterface in place of Repetier. Apparently my compiling errors were due to the fact that I was using the development version of Marlin. I downloaded the stable version and now I can compile properly. So, I am

QuoteErraticDecay You're getting compilation errors because you haven't installed the LCD library, do that and it will compile fine. I had the same issue. ( github files for LCD ) I tried that and its not the problem. Here's the Error: ConfigurationStore.cpp: In function 'void Config_ResetDefault()': ConfigurationStore.cpp:506: error: 'DEFAULT_NOMINAL_FILAMENT_DIA' was not declared in this sco

Quotejrcaster JSR82, You either flip the connector or you change the configuration.h file. you do not do both. Sorry if there was some confusion... I did those two things independently.

QuoteErraticDecay QuoteJSR82 I am having a problem with my printer. I have everything working correctly, but only because in Repetier I have it set to invert the x axis.

Re: Folger Prusa i3 Kit from ebay - 11 years ago

While printing test cubes today, I have run into the same issue everytime. One side of the cube, the one facing the back of the printer, is terrible quality. I have switched from slic3r to cura and that helped on some other issues, but one side is terrible every time. I would think two opposite sides would both be bad quality, but its only one. Is it possible theres something wrong with my Y carr

Re: Folger Prusa i3 Kit from ebay - 11 years ago

Thanks for the help. I have another problem now. When I try to print a test cube, the printer goes through the homing process and everything just fine. It heats up the bed then the extruder. Then, it goes to the extreme back left of the bed and just makes a blob. It's half on the glass and half on the bed PCB. It seems like the only direction it moves is the Z axis. I am using the configuration m

Re: Folger Prusa i3 Kit from ebay - 11 years ago

I just finished building my kit today. I couldn't figure out a better way to mount the Y endstop. So, I put it at the back right corner which seemed like the best place for it so as not to lose build volume. The problem I am having with the printer is when I try to manually home the Y axis it moves a tiny bit towards the back but never goes farther than that. I am using the files on Folger Tech's
