Thank you for replying. I'll see about changing the ends or just use the other motors. Any changes needed to the firmware? or ???. dlwby dlw - Prusa i3 and variants
The color wiring on the motors that came with the Prusa i3 are, red, blue, green and black in that order from left to right. I have other motors with blue, yellow, green and red from left to right. Can these be used? They have the correct ends. dlwby dlw - Prusa i3 and variants
Where can the thin black motor connectors be found? Ebay? What are they called? dlwby dlw - Prusa i3 and variants
QuoteMCcarman 5V !!!! End stops normally read 12V. Are you getting 12v to the board? No. 9.8V. You say there is a problem with the comms so you are working with the display controls only but is that working with the PSU or only when connected to a computer. If it only works when connected to a computer you may just be getting 5V via the USB and nothing from the PSU. Can not get it recognizedby dlw - Prusa i3 and variants
Found voltmeter... had to go get a new battery. Z voltage = 5 vdc. Y voltage = PROBLEM! With end stop unpluged, when touching negative lead from voltmeter to black connection on mainboard... printer turns off. Tried 4 times. X voltage = 5 vdc. Ideas welcomed. dlwby dlw - Prusa i3 and variants
Thanks for replying. I only wanted to post one problem at a time, however... Cura and other 3d software can not find the printer because of 'com port' problems. Do not know how to find answers to your questions with just the onboard LCD. Yes, I have a voltmeter... somewhere. I'll have to find it today. dlwby dlw - Prusa i3 and variants
Just got this printer and I am a newbie to 3d printing. First; the wiring system has been checked and checked and checked again with the wiring diagram. It is correct. Second; when trying to 'home', X axis moves abount an inch to the right, Y axis does not move at all, and Z does what is expected but is not yet adjusted. When trying to 'Position', X,Y, and Z axis will move only one way. Also, whby dlw - Prusa i3 and variants
