I'm using 1/2" PVC and made a stand behind the printer. Will something like that work for you to you can find some 2020? QuoteDevil Inc Dan/John. I'm having issues with the side mounted spool. The extruder is 'slipping' trying to pull the filament once it gets tight with the spool. I had a jam because of it. If I can source a piece of 20/20 quickly, I'm going to relocate the spool up top similarby WilberMaker - Prusa i3 and variants

Finely got Marlin 1.1.0-RC3 up and running tonight. Not Bed leveling yet, taking small steps this time. Problem is the Bed is taking a long time to heat up. What settings would be controlling this?by WilberMaker - Prusa i3 and variants
Easy formula for steps ( (expected length) x steps = (actual length) x new steps ). That works good with calibrating the extruder . But X and Y steppers were on spot with the factory setting for me. Check your calibration on the extruder. Too much or to little will effect height as much as a stepper. Check out Tom's YouTubesby WilberMaker - Prusa i3 and variants
Repetier keeps crashing when I try to connect to the printer. Getting , ( ~1/ , echo: Cannot open subdir ). Only thing I could think of was the configuration files. Reloaded them and still have the problem. What else can I check?by WilberMaker - Prusa i3 and variants
tjnamtiw, I think you might be right. It is flashing while going up. I did not know the error would cause that. I have problems getting it to repeat the same problem enough to figure out what exactly it is doing. That also says voltage problem. Have a power strip on the bench behind the printer with two 2.1A USB plugs. That should be enough power. Have to try it later, connected the Z endstop bacby WilberMaker - Prusa i3 and variants

@ Cyril - Your Marlin Configuration.h looks a lot different then mine. Is it a different branch? Notice even hardware selections are different, you have a 2020i3 right? How old? QuoteCyril Here is mine without the BLTouch as mine is still lost somewhere :/by WilberMaker - Prusa i3 and variants
Still beating my head against the wall. Thought I about had the BLTouch working Now the printer refuses to do any homeing at all. I give it G28 and the Z axis starts going up. This is before it trys to do anything with X or Y. Would someone be so kind as to take a look at my configration.h file and see if you can identify the problem. Also, might be nice to see someone else's 2020 i3 configrationby WilberMaker - Prusa i3 and variants
Doesn't seem to mater if it is Ramps 1.3 or 1.4 are used. Both seem to work, but using 1.4. Got the BLTouch functioning, but now I have changed something that will not allow X and Y homing. Moving in the correct direction but will only move about 10mm and the endstops not controlling anything. Any clue what I should check?by WilberMaker - Prusa i3 and variants
Thanks guys. Spent a lot of time today working with the Configuration.h file and understand it a little better. Got up and running with Marlin 1.1.0-RC3. (Without bed leveling) Started working with the BLTouch and back to digging for answers. Can you tell me if I have a Ramps 1.3 or a 1.4? Looks like I had it configured for a 1.3 and the BLTouch instructions want you to select a Ramps 1.4. What iby WilberMaker - Prusa i3 and variants
I was trying to set up the BLTouch and ran into problems. My plan is to back up and take a systemic approach and make small changes and check them along the way this time. When I backed up I reloaded the original file and everything is working correctly. With the printer working I went to the Folger Wikia and started with upgrading Marlin from the provided link and got a verison stating "The Releby WilberMaker - Prusa i3 and variants

Trying to print the mount for the BLTouch. The flange on the part is not supported but just protrudes out in the open. How do you get this to print?

Ordered one yesterday. I did not know it would act as a Z stop. That's cool. I'll stop worrying about a Z stop and start on another problem.

Is there any magic trick to getting the filament to stick to the bed? I'm pretty sure it is level. Might have a question about the zero height of Z. I have the tip almost touching the glass. What else might I check?by WilberMaker - Prusa i3 and variants
What would cause my Z steppers to make loud growling noise while jogging? The .1 and 1 jog seem fine but any larger movement make loud noise and will even lock up some time. What causes this? If it was one of my brushless RC motors I would say it was a timing issue, same noise. Also, I connected the z stepper to the x driver and and the stepper motor seems to work fine.by WilberMaker - Prusa i3 and variants
I can not get the x endstop to show triggered. I tied another endstop and cable and it will still not show trigger. I even tried inverting it. What do I need to look at next.
