  • Four Months later.......My budget and the RADDS board availability are finally in sync...so I will probably order the setup (would love to try the diamond hot end but that will have to wait).... Anyway one big factor in moving to the RADDS Due set u…
  • Thanks for the advice...was hoping I could remove the leveling or some other unused feature to get more buffer but I will try to find a RADDS board, it sounds like just the ticket....sadly I got my delta mechanically all dialed in and due to some du…
  • my first guess is that you now have a single heater and temp sensor for both extruders (since they are all one now)....this is probably different from how it was pre diamond head.  As a result the second extruder temp throws an uncoupled error if yo…
  • yes, things are working Okay in reality, I have no problem with the actual print using temps I get. The temp issue is only a problem on the second or later prints. My problem is that subsequent prints can't start. This is the sequence of events.... …
  • Thanks for the input, My bed is 300mm diameter 15mm thick AL plate with an embedded 110V 1200W AC heating element...I can't use the PWM with this setup (it is driven by an SSR) nor can I really reposition the sensor in a better place...It is current…
  • Well I spent some time working with the different heat controls... I am at a loss how to set the "bang bang every x seconds" I can set "bang bang" and "bangbang slow" but to sure how to set the "every x seconds" parameter.... With the default for th…
  • I just did the math but something still doesn't compute for me.... I have 80 steps per MM on all axis, I have the firmware acceleration set at 8000 (although I lower that to either 500 or 6000 during most parts of the print) so if I did the math rig…
  • So is the jerk value computed on the firmware set Mac acceleration just once or is it updated as new Accel numbers are specified in the G-Code?  Is the jerk number I see in the controls on the printer some maximum jerk or the one the printer will ac…
  • yes I didn't think the extruder change would use those accel values I only noted that they are in my startup code as it prints a small start up pattern and I wanted to set the accel values for that...oddly however I get clunking sounds and bad first…
  • Thank-you for the tips... I have recalibrated things again following your advice...and things are a bit better. I am wondering however, it is possible that shifting extruders while a Delta is homed causes some problem, like end stopcollision?  I add…
  • I brought this thread back to life as my question is related...and keeping the answers together seems like a good idea. My printer is.a delta... I have dual extruders, both offset along the Y axis.  I leveled the printer quite well with extruder one…
  • you might check out this sli3r link...It helped me achieve this when I was first getting started. http://slic3r.org/blog/modifier-meshes
  • I had this same problem with one of my LCD controllers....solution was simply to order a new one and replace it. I have had one go bad in which case I got random bars on the display...It started out slowly and go worse untilI ordered a replacement..…
  • Hmmmm good to know about the pure Z move.... I am thinking if I put a dial gauge on the bed and zero it against the nozzle then descend 2cm and if I get 2cm on the gauge then I am probably good...if the gauge number is high or low I will have to adj…
  • Okay thanks for confirming my understanding. Recent print measurements seem to indicate some sort of mechanical geometry problem. All the arms were jig built and within my ability to measure are identical. However the problems seem to be related …
  • Thanks. I had seen that thing before and I will revisit as the info seems to have increased in detail. Question: Do the Corr. diagonal A, B, C parameters I see in the EEPROM help with differing diagonal rod lengths. Is this a mm measure that is…
  • Never Mind I think I have finally gotten rid of it...not that I didn't like it but rather I needed to use a different machine,
  • Thanks for the tip. I may give the total rewrite a try, however I was under the impression that 0.95 configuration.h should be compatible with he online config utility.  I used that utility to generate the 0.92.5 file as well as my original .92.2 se…
  • Found a work around..... Using Arduino 1.0.6 the code compiles just fine.... This required installing Java 6 onto my Mac but after that, all works as expected. Must be a bug somewhere in the newer Arduino version...If I can figure out how I will try…
  • I am posting a followup... While I was writing my above description of my problem it occurred to me that something I had not tired was to use theconfigurator to build a completely generic download package...by this I mean I did not import my configu…
