Ok I will try that.. That is the flow rate - correct! I looked at Repetire - CuraEngine, the Filament settings display and I see FLOW and reduced it to 100. It was 103. Also, a small add-on question. To tried to upgrade the CuraEngine software, …

Ok this was it. I was using my laptop to feed the gCode to my printer. Apparently, using TinkerCad and listening to music made my Laptop too slow. I am using an SD memory card now and all is working fine. Interesting problem and interesting solution…

Let me check. Also, Repetier shows vertical lines on the display. Can you look at these pictures. They might help explain the problem i am looking at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/i5a4zwky6ev2jz5/AADFRSYR1FMcXLDJejdJ2XVBa?dl=0

Sorry the firmware is: Repetier.ino.sanguino

ok hate to have you loose confidence with me..but how were these values derived at? They are from the documentation on bed leveling.. Thanks #define Z_PROBE_X1 -69.28 #define Z_PROBE_Y1 -40 #define Z_PROBE_X2 69.28 #define Z_PROBE_Y2 -40 #defin…
-
OK done... I used HOME_ORDER_ZXYTZ and then I used HOME_ORDER_XYTZ . Each time when I selected the HOME on the Repetire-Sever screen the exturder went to the upper corner of the print bed. Can I work on a video and upload it to Box.net for you to…

interesting this is set to zero. see below: #define MAX_FEEDRATE_Z 4#define HOMING_FEEDRATE_X 100#define HOMING_FEEDRATE_Y 100#define HOMING_FEEDRATE_Z 2// changed by Richard Brown to do the Y azis first// Then the X azis and finally the Z azis beca…

what about #define HEATED_BED_PREHEAT_TEMP 55.. should I set that to zero? Thanks again.. Richard

Here are some configuration.h vlaues... // ############# Heated bed configuration ######################## #define HAVE_HEATED_BED 1#define HEATED_BED_PREHEAT_TEMP 55#define HEATED_BED_MAX_TEMP 120#define SKIP_M190_IF_WITHIN 3#define HEATED_BED_SEN…

ok did that and that works for the most part.. but when i select HOME on the Repetier-Host software on my laptop it goes the the upper right had corner of the printer. Because the sensor is off the board at this point bad things happen to the printe…
-
Ok, I will use: G91 G1 Z10 is there a way to have the extruder move to the center of the bed to HOME is selected? This would solve a lot of problems.. as the sensor hangs off one side of the metal fan enclosure that is on the extruder.. and I loose…
-
Ok let me look at that.. what happened is that I put the sensor on and when to calibrate... I should have seen it but the sensor hangs off the edge of the bed as a result the extruder hit the bed before I could power off.. I should have seen that.. …
-
Oh, big problem... thought it was almost done.. in the firmware to set the "HOME" and start the bed leveling procedure How do I move the X axis over 20 CM to make sure the sensor is hitting he aluminum build plate.. Do I need to reprogram the contro…

working on installing the bed leveling device... keep you informed.. OH and I am running 1.0.3.....
-
I will test those prints.. and let you know how it goes.. Tomorrow I will install the bed leveling device I purchased from Banggood (China) - TRONXY® 6-38V Auto Leveling Heated Bed Sensor For Tronxy P802M P802E 3D Printer.
-
OK installed 1.0.3 and it seemed to work OK.. I made the calibration cube and looked... well quite good for a first try.. NOTE: The extruder came back with a JAM error code.. I pressed OK and the calibration cube was made.. I still have jam on the e…
-
Ok a few things making progress....got the bed to work... here are a few things: 1) in the pins.h melzi code there is a line that has -2 as a value.. I think it should be-1 as in.... #define ORIG_X_STEP_PIN 15#define ORIG_X_DIR_PIN …
-
ok still working on it.. tried a few things.. and nothing seemed to work.. I loaded 1.0.3 and it worked except the bed heating.. i tried .92.9 and messed up the display where it shows Centigrade instead of Fahrenheit. but I think I can fix that.. in…
-
I will check it out.. Thanks.. Let you know..
-
Ok I reloaded V.91 on the board.. and the bed works just fine.... So do extruder, X, Y and Z axis...... Now I upgraded the firmware to V.92.9 because of bed leveling.....I did not install any bed leveling device because I wanted to test the system f…
-
No when you want to heat the extruder the Mosfet is turned on and one side will be Zero and the other plus 12V. That means there is 12V across the heating element... so it heats.. Just like a big resister.. gets hot.. The Mosfet for the heat bed is …
-
Ok from my testing this is what I have discovered. If I manually turn on the extruder heat and check the voltages on both pins one side is 12V and the other is about zero, which tells me that the FET has turned on and is allowing the flow of current…
-
Ok think I did that.. anyway, I did downloaded the latest Repetier_Host and installed it. I did three test runs and the bed did not heat. I did play with the controls and got the extruder to heat! Here are the log files. The bed did not heat at any …
-
Oh a few more things.. we looked at the voltages and they seem to be ok.. but we are not that knowledge on what to check. and the display seems to work just fine.... Do you need some pictures.. Richard
-
The X, Yand Z axis seem to work but there is not bed heating and no extruder heating along with the extruder servo not working.. any thoughts???? Also when I start a print the display says heating bed.. then goes to Idle... i HAVE NOT install any be…

Ok listen to this.. I downloaded the software again.. this time I just uploaded the configuration.h file, looked at the first page and then went download, unzipped the file, and compiled it.. uploaded it ... AND IT LOOKs like it worked.. I will plug…

I have asked the Arduino people is there is some reason 1.0.6 works and 1.8.8 does not.. Let you know the answer and I will try a few other tests.. Have a great weekend. Richard

Ok but I can install 0.91 with 1.06. interesting I can not install with 1.88!
