As it turns out I did not press the RAMPS board and the Mega board together firmly enough (I left about a 1/4 inch of the pins showing), upon my friend noticing this and pushing them together completely the endstops started working! Thank you for bearing with me through out the process. Although I doubt anyone will make as boneheaded a mistake as I, if they do, you'll have another bit of adviceby jdcarlet - Printing
Hi everyone, not sure if this is still a relevant thread but I'm having issues with my folger tech 2020: The endstops don't work at all!!! I've been trying to get them to work for a couple of weeks now to no avail, I've tried messing with the configuration.h and quadruple checked the wiring, I've also emailed folger tech and they have responded but not given any real help as to what the problemby jdcarlet - Prusa i3 and variants
Sorry I've been out of town. I'm not sure which ones you wanted to post. I have the motors working in the desired directions, but my endstops still are not working, so maybe the lines for those?by jdcarlet - Printing
When I am facing the printer: x-axis (endstop on my right): -10 it goes to my right 10 it goes to my left y-axis (the endstop is on the back): -10 the bed moves away from me 10 the bed moves toward me z-axis (endstop on bottom): up is up down is downby jdcarlet - Printing
So, I was able to disable the max endstop, but the endstops still don't stop the motors from running when they are triggered: If I hold down the trigger and use m119 they still read: 22:42:47.470 : Reporting endstop status 22:42:47.470 : x_min: open 22:42:47.470 : y_min: open 22:42:47.470 : z_min: open Any advice on how to get the endstops to work now?by jdcarlet - Printing
How do you disable the endstop max? I have the Folger tech 2020 i3, with the Arduino Mega 2560 and a RAMPs board. Here are some picturesby jdcarlet - Printing
Thank you anmoose and deaconfrost for responding to my cry for help Quotedeaconfrost can you post your configuration.h I have a look I have the Folger Junk i3 myself, or had, it no longer is after all the work been done to make it print without troubles are you writing the firmware yourself or you using the pre-config one from Folger Tech? a lot aren't correct in that, you need to make lots ofby jdcarlet - Printing
Just finished assembling my Folger Tech 2020 i3 printer and am running into 2 issues. While in Repetier trying to set the home 1) my x-axis does not respond at all (stepper motor does nothing) 2) y and z axis's will not stop once they hit the end stops. Any help would be great! (also I appologize if this is in the wrong forum I'm new to the community and didn't find one specific to my needs).by jdcarlet - Printing
