  • Please clarify for the beginners. Is FAN_1, which I have running under Repetier Host command wired to Arduino Mega 2650 pin D9, intended for extruder cooling or print cooling?  I think I have the Config set to turn this fan on when extruder temp exc…
  • I'm attempting to disable the endstop checking in order to check the crosstalk issue.  But when I disable endstop checking, Z homing seems to not work.  And I think I need that in order to do the Config -> Z Calib -> Set Z=0. So assuming the Y…
  • Thank you, Repetier, for diagnosing my problem so late after hours!  If you enable Z Probing, you must assign a Z probe pin!
  • I am having this compile problem as well.  All my efforts are with 0.92.3, Mega2560 board.  Compile stops midway through.  I began with Arduino 1.6.4 IDE, tried changing to Arduino 1.6.5 and Daily build for 08 July 2015 (which displays as 1.6.6).  I…
  • I have enabled endstop checking and no longer go beyond the limits of the bed.  However, I am still dropping Y steps, still always away from the endstop (not moving the bed away from Ymin).  Eventually, within the first few layers, the extruder ends…
  • I have this problem.  It is always away from the endstop.  Also, when the travel exceeds the endstop, the print continues with excess material building up as the code says move but mechanical endstop limit is already reached.  Shouldn't hitting the …
  • @Repetier / @DBSDBS:  I must also say that your English is fairly good!  We Americans should learn from your efforts and we should try harder!  Thank you for your very public support of this effort!
  • Thank you for the response on the weekend!  Sorry to be dense, but I'm still confused.1. When I set the default to Z max endstop, the "Z home" function tried to take the extruder away from the bed (up as high as possible).  (Reversing Z motor direct…
  • My input for SeanT and others reading this conversation: My problem with the Extruder not working seemed to trace back to power supply troubles.  After changing out the extruder motor to one that worked, my Z axis began acting up.  Switched Extruder…
  • I'm having the same problem.  Heater seems to be working and monitored in Host, but stepper motor won't work.  I've tried M302 for cold extrusion, no help.  Could this have something to do with the RAMPS calling this E0 but the Host software calling…
  • Thank you for the reply and the information.
  • I found the discrepancy was the microstepping jumpers were installed on one but not the other.  So the question now becomes, what is this purpose?  Why / when would microstepping be preferred or not preferred?Thanks again
  • Thank you.  Most helpful!
  • Thank you for the reply.  I may have solved the motor movement issue by changing the wiring on the motor.  The two coils of the motor may have been cross-wired.  Now, I see that jerk matters significantly, especially if you're doing something like e…
