Do you know what the thread pitch is on the z-axis threaded rods or how many coils the z axis stepper motors have?by AuWiMo - Printing
I have the Folgertech Prusa i3 Aluminum DIY kit and was wondering if anyone knew what the magic numbers are.by AuWiMo - Printing
Craig, Thank you for your post in this thread. It helped me to resolve my issue of filament not feeding on a new 2020 build. In your post you had "It turned out that INVERT_E0_DIR was set to true in the configuration.h from Folgertech. It should be false for direct drive." For the Folger stock extruder I had to change the value from false to true to get my gear to turn the correct direction. Theby AuWiMo - Reprappers
Ok I followed mel0n's posts and moved the end stop from the rightmost (7th) pin to the 6th. (to the left 1 pin). I also went into the Repetier Config>printer settings>printer shape> and set HomeX from Min to Max. This gave me full use of all 3 axis. It now homes for all 3 axis. Print head homes to the front right side. Not sure if this will be my final axis configuration but at leastby AuWiMo - Prusa i3 and variants
I verified my settings are const bool X_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = true; const bool Y_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = true; const bool Z_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = true; If I run M119 with endstops plugged in but not engaged x,y,z Min all say "open" and x,y,z max all say "Triggered". If I do M119 with each individual switch engaged x,y,z Min change state to "Triggered". It appears my endstops are each connected toby AuWiMo - Prusa i3 and variants
Thank you for the tips. My son and I just finished our build and wiring of the Folger 2020 and our unit is having x and z axis issues. They only move in 1 direction due to endstop errors. I expect these suggestions will help immensely. Why don't they supply better configuration files for these things, at least to get you started?by AuWiMo - Prusa i3 and variants
