  • Well, I figured out that if you write the script on separate lines it works fine.  Like this: g28 g0 f8000 x-77.94 y-45 z0 Each script written this way works fine
  • Actually, thanks for responding.  I had left over some startup G-Code in Slic3r which was messing up RH.  The g-code had been used for a cartesian printer and doesn't work with a delta.  Seems to be trucking now!
  • Ok, so I found several errors with Configuration.h.  I was able to fix them and now the printer functions properly on the x,y and z axis.  Everything seems to be working except for the printing. When I load the print and run slic3r everything looks…
  • I discovered the Deltas will not work without endstops and it is pointless to try.  I did install the hall effect endstops and they pass the "open" and "triggered" test.  I made a bunch of changes and believe I am closer to having it work than befor…
  • Repetier said: I'm not sure what is wrong here, but I would at first check the free ram. Should be at least 900 bytes or you get very starnge and wrong behaviour from memory overwrites. That might explain why nothing makes sense at the moment…
  • I placed the extruder nozzle on the heated bed in the center at the bottom of the printer and tried these commands with the actual movement results: G1 Z100 moves 31.5 cm G1 Z99 moves 8 cm G1 Z10 moves 22 cm G1 Z5 moves 22.5 cm The Z command for dis…
  • I think maybe adding 3 jumpers to the pins under the z stepper driver is causing the z axis to move too fast
  • I don't see homin selection.  However, I have set Home Z to 100, Printable Height to 100mm, and Park Position to 100.  It just seems that when I manually move the X or Y axis it appears to move correctly.  When I move the Z axis it move over 100x mo…
  • MartinH said: From looking at the kit details  i would say you definitly have 4 start lead screws on the Z axis, so you willmost likely need 400 steps/mm with a max feedrate of about 30. You should be able to edit these in the eepromvia rep h…
  • RAyWB said: from your description it´s a TR 10x2 thread  and it will need 1600 steps /mm  at 1/16 microstepping with a 200 steps/rev motor Yes, after working through the calculations, 1537.66 works pretty good and is very close to your …
  • Repetier said: Fixing z steps per m is the only way to fix the last difference. Can not say how to do this correctly with marlin. Normally i would just change it in config and reupload. If they do not use it from eeprom it should suffice. …
  • MartinH said: As roko said , allsoWhat type of Z screws are fitted, ie  5mm thread rod or 8mm or 4 start lead screw ? Well, I cannot tell.  The kit decided to leave out that important information.  Outside measures 10mm, inside threads …
  • Roko said: check your jumpers under the Z driver? This helped tremendously.  The original kit did not have jumpers under the z-stepper.  I added 3 jumpers for MS1, MS2 and MS3 and the print quality went way up.  The 20mm cube went from 4…
  • Also, when I print a 20mm calibration cube, it prints perfectly in X and Y but is 40mm in Z.
  • I have modified the z steps from 1151.81 to 50% at 573.18 and it did nothing.  When I double the z up to 2560 the stepper motors whine and don't move at all.
  • Ok, so I figured out what happened.  The new Arduino 2560 I bought was the real one but it was different looking than the one that came with the kit.  So, for some reason the new Arduino 2560 didn't work.  I ordered another Arduino 2560 but found on…
  • Ok, so Arduino went through the verify process without error using the Marlin files from github.  Then it uploaded without error.  Instructions say to set Baud Rate at 250000 in printer settings.  Windows 7 only goes up to 128000 bits per second.  I…
