    Hi,

    And thanks for that information. Much appreciated.

    As far as I can tell, they've decided to use creality printers for their "cheaper"/"lower end"/"normal use?" printers, and they just got...

    Managing multiple printers

    I've been asked to look into tools that could be used to manage multiple 3D printers. This would be in an academic environment, with the idea being that we'd have a farm of perhaps 6 printers that...

    More news....

    I was able to find enough information to be able to flash the firmware on the printer.

    I went to the TwoTrees website and got the latest firmware, which is V2.0.3.A. I loaded this...
  4. Really basic question about my TwoTrees Sapphire Plus printer firmware

    This is an extension of other threads pertaining to my efforts to get my Sapphire Plus working. The folks at TwoTrees have asked me to reload the original firmware that came with the printer. Okay,...
  5. I decided to go back to the dual Z-axis limit...

    I decided to go back to the dual Z-axis limit switches to see if I'd have any better luck there. I ran Pronterface while I tested homing on the X, Y, and Z axis. X and Y were fine, Z ran until it...
  6. TwoTrees Sapphire Plus - 3D Printer Motherboard Concepts and Operation for Idiots?

    So, I'm on a quest now. Elsewhere, in the Hardware section, I'm carrying on a discussion to get my printer working. But, I'm also trying to understand in the bigger picture how all of the parts...
  7. Today, I was able to connect my printer to my PC...

    Today, I was able to connect my printer to my PC using Pronterface. Windows wanted a driver file, and it took awhile for me track down what it wanted, the CH340. Once I loaded that, I was able to...

    Hi,

    Quick update. I'm trying to connect my printer to my laptop, but Windows is reporting that it doesn't have a device driver for the printer. Sent an email to TwoTrees supports asking about...

    I haven't tried connecting a computer with one of the software tools like Pronterface yet, but I'll give that a try tomorrow. Thanks. Ron

    And more progress, and of course, more debugging.So, the printer powers up correctly. I'm testing the home functions now. On the X-axis, I used a zip tie to lock the belt in place, and the zip tie...

    This is great info. Thanks. I need to dig into it deeper and digest it. I'm going to guess that the software running on the Sapphire Plus will be similar and have a similar update process? The...

    I came across a thread that you started in August of 2020 in the "Tips" section where you were working with the same file(s) that I'm working with for my printer, namely the Robin-nano-config35.txt,...

    I got a response back from the tech folks at TwoTrees about the Z axis. Apparently, when you turn on the printer, wherever the platform and the extruder head are sitting is what the printer thinks...

    Sorry, I didn't mean it to sound like I was ready to throw in the towel. Far from it. Nope, I will beat it into submission some way. :-) I haven't printed anything yet. I'm thinking maybe I'm not...

    Sorry, I just brought up the other printer, the Pro, as a point of conversation. Like I said, I'm deep into "YOU WON'T BEAT ME!!" with this printer :-), so I'm going to stick with it.

    There's a...

    Thanks, and I agree, for now, I just want to see if I can get it working as is before starting to make dramatic changes like going ot Marlin.

    Right now, it's more a matter that I have a pretty...

    How interesting that he was using a version of Visual Studio to make his changes.

    I think I understand a little more, but there are still some holes for me. He made his changes in Visual...

    So, I guess the question is, with the Sapphire going for about 300 bucks right now on Amazon, is the Plus going to be enough of a pain in the neck to get working that it'd be better to just set it...

    Okay, some good progress to report today, and a few more basic questions....

    Installed the 3D Touch, ran the cable to the motherboard, and attached it in the 2 locations noted. (using one of the...

    Hi, back again. Took a few days off for Father's Day.

    Yes, the Sapphire Plus has 2 Z-axis motors, and if by "dual endstops", you mean 2 z-axis limit switches, yes, it's got that. But, if you...

    And that's after she said that she was "super excited" at the top of the video. :-)

    But, I have to say, her assembly order made more sense than what the manual provided, and her explanation of...
