Here is a video. You can see I can manually drop and raise the pin but Z homing doesn't work. The pin never drops Also, you can hear a change in speed from slow too fast when the bed starts to raise. Why is this?by jabu32 - Repetier
I cannot for the life of me get the BLTouch to work with this firmware (1.0.2). i am running a Folgertech FT-5 with MKS 1.4 board. i have tried every possible combination of stuff. i loaded a copy of Marlin FW for the BLTouch and it worked fine. I can get the probe to manually deploy and retract. when i home Z it doesnt deploy and i have to stop the printer so the bed doesnt crash into the head.by jabu32 - Repetier

Quoteav8r1 Quotejabu32 How do I get rid of the waves in the outside layers? Looks like your extruder driver current is a little high. Check the Vref. You probably want to reduce the current on all of the steppers, they tend to run a little hot. Here is a print where i lowered the voltage on the motors. This is a hollow cube. you can see it looks good at the base where it is solid fill. thenby jabu32 - Prusa i3 and variants

Quoteiamquestar Quotejabu32 Got Octoprint working....LOVE IT! Excellent! I have really appreciated the ease it gives me, not to mention, I can initiate a print from the bedroom using my phone (I did this last night when I realized I had forgotten to start it). I also added a relay control module ($7 from amazon) and can actually control power to the printer, and turn the LED lights I added toby jabu32 - Prusa i3 and variants

Can this gold filament be saved?? you can see it is all popped and distorted while the white filament (extruded right after) is smooth. i keep all my filament in an air tight container with moisture absorber.by jabu32 - Prusa i3 and variants

Quotetjnamtiw Quotejabu32 Yeah still stock. I do have an all metal one I bought. Is there any cautions running the all-metal head? Just replace the two parts I mentioned. If you change heads then you'll never know what caused your problem. I meant all metal heat break.by jabu32 - Prusa i3 and variants

I am having a little quality issue. I am using the following: 0.3 nozzle head temp 230 bed temp 105 printing on kapton tape/glue stick BLTouch autolevel Hatchbox Copper ABS So as you can see I am not sure if my head is too close to the bed or it is over extruding. The other picture shows the sidewall has some missing lines. Any help would be appreciated.by jabu32 - Prusa i3 and variants

Quotemarc2912 Quotejabu32 Quotedlk4602 A word of caution for those looking to run unattended. Yesterday mine starting smoking and I found the power connector to the ramps board melted. It looks like the connector was not making good contact and overheated.
