  • It is a mechanical switch that goes high (i.e. 5V) when triggered, so I guess I need a pull-down resistor on the line.Thanks for your response.
  • Update: tip for anyone using the small calibration wheel from the instructable above, the arm length should be measured from the raised end of the arm (should be 60mm), not from the V point in the wheel opposite the arm end. There is 1+ mm differenc…
  • Thank you. That makes sense, and seems so much easier than the Marlin adjustment.
  • I am struggling with delta z-probing, too. Z_PROBE_BED_DISTANCE 10 is good. Mean how high above bet you want to start measuring. You want a small number but still high enough that it leaves some space. Z_PROBE_HEIGHT = Height between bed and nozzle…
  • UPDATE: I fixed the problem. I did a full update/upgrade of the software on the RaspberryPi box that runs Repetier-Server and now it all works fine. Still don't quite know what the issue was, but it's working now. BTW, both my 3D printers are drive…
  • I also have a generic NTC 3950 thermistor that is reading 200C, but thermocouple measurement inside the heater block shows only 168C. I will try it with the table values suggested by QJNero above.
  • Thanks. I'll check the current on the stepstick driver and see if adjusting that helps. Stepstick drivers should read 1.6v, right? BTW, does the length of the Bowden tube have any effect on the above? I have a suspicion I may have cut the tube too …
  • I checked the extruder power curve and it was going to 100%, but the extruder temperature curve was flattening out at the 120C point. I checked the temp. curve on my Cartesian printer and it is a steady upward gradient right up to the target temp. …
  • Forget the first part of that last message. I found the EEPROM editor. But, I'd still like to know where the official delta calibration tutorial is, please.
  • Okay, pardon my ignorance, but where is the EEPROM editor in Rep-Host, and can you give me a link to your calibration tutorial. I have found several calibration tutorials, but I'm not sure which is the official repetier one.
  • Update: things were looking better for a while. All my motors seemed to be working correctly, but when I switched on the printer the next morning all the old aberrant behavior was back (X tower won't home properly, etc.) So,  I replaced all the elec…
  • I'm using the old 4895 drivers (can't remember the exact number off the top of my head, but not the DRV8825 ones). Good suggestion about reducing the speed. I will try that. Things are progressing much better since I changed the parameters as sugge…
  • MartinH said: #define X_HOME_DIR -1 #define Y_HOME_DIR -1 #define Z_HOME_DIR 1 with a delta, shouldn't these all be set at '1'  for max homing Yes, they should but the config tool doesn't specify these parameters and they default to t…
  • Hooray! I'm making progress. After adjusting the ENDSTOP_BACK_MOVE and ENDSTOP_BACK_ON_HOME to the above suggested values, and setting the *_HOME_DIR to 1 for all axes, things are looking much better. The first homing command after uploading the mo…
  • I have 1159 bytes of free memory after compiling. I am still having trouble with homing. The Y and Z carriages home properly, but the X carriage hardly moves and the motor emits a high-pitched whine for about 5 or 6 seconds in response to the homi…
  • Not anymore. Any idea where they are listed.
  • I'm having a lot of trouble getting the slider movement to work properly on my reprap delta printer (RAMPS 1.4 w/Repetier-firmware.) I used the configuration tool to set the initial values, but using manual commands through Rep-Host doesn't work cor…
  • P.S. Maybe Marlin is smart enough to just switch the bed heater off and return control immediately if the target temperature is zero (i.e. emulate the M140 command.) That would avoid any infinite wait situations where an M190 was erroneously used in…
  • Oh, that's interesting. It went to the 'Finished' state (as shown on the printer LCD screen) before either the bed or the extruder had cooled down. Still, I'll adjust the end g-code as you suggest. Thanks for the tip.
  • The original end g-code was the default for Slic3r in Repetier-Host: M104 S0        ; turn off temperature G28               ; Return to home position M84               ; disable motors My customized end g-code is now: M104 S0        ; turn off tem…
  • I fixed the problem by adding a 'M190 S0' command to the end g-code. Printing completes normally now and I can manually control the printer after job completion.
  • I had a similar problem with repetier-server. Trying to configure a new printer via the Printer Settings page by updating the default values doesn't seem to work. The 'Save Configuration' function didn't appear the save anything (no config .xml file…
  • Repetier said: code=killed, signal=SEGV) -> it crashed. The pi zero uses the same processor as Pi 1 so you need the armel version of the server. The armhf version will definitely not work. So hopefully that is the error. Thank you.That…
  • Great, everything works fine today. I had firmware set to Marlin and correct baud rate yesterday, but couldn't get it to connect. I have rebooted the RPi a couple of times today so maybe that cleared something. Using the RPi as the printer server wi…
  • Hi, this is the output from the M115 command: 10:58:07.932 : FIRMWARE_NAME:Marlin V1; Sprinter/grbl mashup for gen6 FIRMWARE_URL:https://github.com/ErikZalm/Marlin/ PROTOCOL_VERSION:1.0 MACHINE_TYPE:Mendel EXTRUDER_COUNT:1 UUID:00000000-0000-0000-0…
  • Repetier said: ...Setting repetier-firmware on marlin will make big problems. Vice versa it works better but also not perfect, so make sure firmware is set correctly. Right, thanks for that tip. It should have been Marlin. Still no connect…
