Hi, I am just starting upgrading using the Makerfarm kit and Titan Extruder. Looking at the initial setup it appears that the X-Axis assembly at its lowest position gets very close to the right hand...
Hi a few questions if I may:
Using MakerFarm i3V 12" printer, USB connection to RUMBA electronics and a z-probe (on a servo arm), Marlin 1.1.0-RCBugFix 2016-12-06 12:00and Cura 2.5.1
1....
Got fed up with the Solid State Relay approach! grabbed a 10k resistor and a Power MOSFET, soldered the MOSFET casing to a strip of brass, put thermal compound on the back of the brass strip and...
Hi, I am only running 20A through the relay, not 60A (it would probably have vapourised on first contact!)
If you look at the label on the relay and it has the UL and CE markings one above the...
Hi Bob,
The power supply is good, I have two cork tiles on the back as insulation and a Fotek 60A SSR. At least I thought it was a Fotek, but just recently the relay started to show signs of...
Hi printbus, thanks for the response. I understand about the lack of accuracy when using an IR thermometer to determine actual temperature, but for the measurements I took I clamped the IR above the...
Roxy, no problems for the files to be used, but not being a github user (other than downloading) I don't have a clue about pushing and pulling. Is there a way I can get the files (configuration.h,...
I have downloaded the latest RC-8 Bug fix, and have it up and running with RUMBA on a Makerfarm Prusa i3V machine. Do you still want the Configuration.h file?, I also have an Excel spreadsheet of the...
A few Questions if I may? I have tried searching, but probably not very well, and have not come up with the answers.
1 When first powered up (Marlin RC-8 BugFix) the X Y Z on the LCD...
Did some voltage measurements, not quite what I expected as there seems to be a greater loss towards the back of the board, i would have expected a more linear loss.
Click on image to make it...
Hi Roxy, initially I could feel by hand that there was a difference in heating across the board, so I got out the IR thermometer and there was a gradual decrease in temperature from back to front....
What started off a week ago as as "simple" change to my Z offset (as noted in my Senior Moments thread) has taken me down the path of upgrading to Marlin RC-8, a short bout with repetier and back to...
Well I guess the thread title sums it up nicely, the Senior Moment came back to embarrassingly haunt me again!
I went through the Configuration files and spotted the error. It was stupidity on my...
MANY thanks Bob, the file compiled first time AND I have a screen, albeit a very slow screen, but I believe that is a known issue that is being worked on. Was this file from RC-7, RC-Bugfix or RC-8?...
Rejoiced a little to quickly above...... it compiled OK but there was no display on the LCD!!!
OK, lets try to summarise progress (or lack thereof) to date with respect to LCD issues
Using...
So does mine!!!
I guess I read the Configuration.h comments as:
Select either a Graphics or Text LCD at line 1100/1101
Then select the specific display later on, in my case line 1253.
One...
Hi Bob,
I switched over to RC-Bugfix and ran into problems compiling. With NO modifications to any of the files it compiles OK, but to get the LCD working I need to un-comment the following in...
Progress is being made!. Now using 1.10 RC7, pretty much everything is up and running and ready for fine tuning with one exception.
During ABL the head will move into position, servo drops down,...
Thanks Roxy, that's pretty much what I am doing now, at least it will be a learning experience!!
Thanks Bob, your suggestion has actually beem my "new" methodology over recent months. Unfortunately my previous tinkerings took place before I saw the light!
I'm going to bite the bullet and go...
Thanks again Roxy. I'll get the latest and download it then.
Thanks Roxy, I suspect I am running stock and any changes I made were in the config file. I was hoping there was a way to download (or at least view) the files on the Rumba board. Failing that I'll...
Hi, I have just come back to 3D printing after about a year of playing with other toys, and have forgotten everything I ever new!!
I have the i3-12" printer with a Rumba board interfaced to...
Thanks, it seems I either have an incorrect or no value in the Z offset. It appears that this Z offset only applies to Auto Home and has no effect on ABL?
Could you give me a clue as to where I...
If I bend a piece of 3mm PLA filament back on itself should it be flexible enough to go back with a fairly tight curve for 180 degrees or would you expect it to snap (like a dry twig) at some stage...
