Hi guys just tried out cura by ultimaker, looks like a nice piece of software, what would you guys recommend using when i get the last two motors working? :)

PS i have taken the pulley off of the stepper motor for now as i thought it was causing too much friction, but that didn't help it at all

okay i've just made a few more tests to see what the problem is. i've changed over the stepper motors, i changed x with y, and now y does not move.

i've changed the driver board and that makes no...

Hey guys, if any of you want to help me, i got skype think that would be quicker at solving my issue if anyone wants to help :)

just tried changing the x y manual feedrate to 100, but it is still making the junting noise but not as quick anymore. and when i turn up the voltage on the board, it's just makes the noise louder.....

Hi guys been a very busy week but now working on the printer again,


I have sorted out the switch, it was a simple connector fault, replacing fixed that.


now just the X motor just makes a...

x_min: TRIGGERED
x_max: open
y_min: open
y_max: open
z_min: open
z_max: open


now i'm getting this, all of the other switches work, part from x, the just stays triggered....

While unplugging everything and plugging it back it i found a couple of end stops in the wrong place, will test now :)

made that change in the config as roxy said, getting this:
x_min: TRIGGERED
x_max: TRIGGERED
y_min: open
y_max: open
z_min: TRIGGERED
z_max: open

it's currently set to :

const bool X_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = true; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
const bool Y_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = true; // set to true to invert the logic...

Also forgot to add, that the z Trigger now works but x Doesn't so it's the Board?? :(

Okay before i had noticed one of the wires had gotten lose, but now when sending the M119 command it comes with:


Non Pressed
x_min: TRIGGERED
x_max: TRIGGERED
y_min: TRIGGERED
y_max: open...

Hiya, when i press them they change all but the 3rd one for Z :/


EDIT
Hang on a sec....

>>>M119
SENDING:M119
Reporting endstop status
x_min: TRIGGERED
x_max: open
y_min: TRIGGERED
y_max: open
z_min: opent (i'm going with this should be TRIGGERED..) same with when i set the values...

Hiya, pretty sure i said in one of my last posts, sorry if i didn't, but all of the driver voltages are set to the recommended voltage in the manual, took a while to do that as i had to buy a new...

Hi,

How do i check the the switches are being pressed/released? is there some where that tells the status of these?

Hi after going to the shops to replace the 9V battery in my multi-meter, i had found out my Y board for the stepper wasn't actually showing any side on fife, nut lucky i had a spare one that would of...

there we are, after turning my room upside down found my multi meter...... can i just ask what voltage i should be seeing? and what terminals am i checking?

Hiya, i changed it back to the other settings but it shows some details in jibberish, so put it back to the discount one, the LCD i got it from is this one here:...

I will change that now and will get back to you



I do understand that getting someone to help me out in person would be extremely helpful.. but i can see the both of you are on the other side...

HI Roxy, i do currently do use a laptop but it is really getting to the end of it's pathetic life, so i wanted to have something that will boot up quickly and still run the printer if laptop goes...

Also for the LCD in the config i can see there is a list of different LCD models and i click on all to see which one i had and it was the one i had selected before,

on another note, would you...

Hiya,

you're not the only confused one. geetech is the seller and the tech support i was getting... but when ever i asked for the build manual they sent me to the nextday page. most of the things...
