So I was watching this video on YouTube and it made me wonder if something similar could be incorporated into 3d printers. It is called a resolver, similar to an encoder but it is more accurate and can remember it's position after it loses power! The guy explains it in much better detail than I could so here's the link Would it be possible to use something similar on the opposite end of the belby gromyjoe - Delta Machines
I resently had the same issue. I was chasing a ghost when it turned out I forgot to plug my network switch back into my router....by gromyjoe - Ormerod
I did just that and it works perfectly! Thanks!by gromyjoe - Fisher
I am having a similar issue. except it does 4 probes, triggering the proximity sensor. after the probe, it displays "Error: Z probe was not triggered during probing move" I have it connected to AD12, same as the diagram on here I just don't get why it probes fine and shows triggered with M119 but it says probing canceled due to errors.by gromyjoe - Fisher
Do you have a config file I could compare mine to? I tried every version of riches' firmware with same result. It's gotta be something im doing wrong but I don't see it.by gromyjoe - Delta Machines
The first probing points work fine but after it homes and goes down for the second iteration and starts probing from one corner to another. Another thing I noticed is even on pronterface the z height stays at 0.00. I dont understand where its getting its coordinates from. It's straight along the x axis at about Y -180. I have it tuned in very close before trying auto calibration and I dont thinkby gromyjoe - Delta Machines
ok so I removed the extruder and put the probe in place. changed my offset to 0,0 and my probing diameter at 80mm. sent G30 A and the first run was good but the next 4 were probed in a straight line across the edge of the bed...im not sure if that's what it does so I left it. then after the 5th time homing and going down it just stopped. I think repetier host froze up and lost communication to thby gromyjoe - Delta Machines
The z probe is offset quite a bit.. -40,-20 are the coordinates. Ill try mounting it in place of the nozzle and see how it goes! Thanks for the input and ill update on my progressby gromyjoe - Delta Machines
Hello everyone! I live up in the great Northern Ontario up in Canada eh! Its a bit of a challenge finding people that even know what a 3d printer is. So I come to the online forums with my dialup internet for some help! I have been running marlin firmware with my home built delta printer and its given me some amazing prints, but I was getting tired of manually calibrating And levelling, alsoby gromyjoe - Delta Machines
