Hi
More or less on the BL Touch, you need to:
1) Remove the Z limit switch
2) Verify that the BL Touch fires up (light blinks) and works (light switches on when probe is pushed).
3) Design...
The type of bed leveling done is very dependent on the Marlin version you are using. The thing that the better stuff does is to allow for multiple lumps and bumps in the bed. The earlier stuff simply...
Hi
When you get it running properly, probe based mesh bed leveling is much better than any form of manual leveling. It also has the advantage that it auto corrects for all the weird variation in...
Hi
Have you wired the printer for the BL touch (taken out the Z axis limit switch) or for the normal setup (no BL touch).
If you are digging into customizing your own firmware, go for the...
Hi
I have yet to see a rational set of instructions on setting up the probe on a bed leveling system. It is one of the most discussed and least understood parts of these systems. Compounding the...
Hi
If you go through all the info on the Deluxe package, they are pretty clear about buying the not-deluxe first and getting the deluxe only after the standard printer is up and running. Yes, I...
Hi
I simply redesigned the whole extruder and X carriage from scratch ....

If you do the deluxe package, the corner "stuff" will impact how the printer sits on the table. Even with my feet, the printer still slides around on my table. About the only way to stop that would...
I don't have the parts I did up anywhere at this point. You are the first to ask. They are buried somewhere on the computer ... I'll see if I can dig them up.
Your printer looks nice. Be sure to...
Hi
If you are not already in touch wth Coin on all this, you should be. He has always been very quick when you ask him a question. He will want to go though a few things before shipping a part. He...
Hi
Indeed, the *assumption* is that the parts are the ones that MakerFarm supplies for a Pegasus 12". If we are into some other set of parts then all bets are off ....

Hi
I would format it on a Windows 7 machine if you suspect that Win 10 might be an issue. I format them on OS-X and Linux. In any case you want to be sure that it is a FAT file system.
Bob
Freshly formatted on what OS?
My guess is that the format isn't the issue and you have a broken / unseated cable. The whole format issue is what you need to dig through first though. There *are*...
How did you format the SD cards and how big are they?
Well then that's the explanation (and the missing information). You need to either use the correct stepper driver or mount the acme screw Z axis stuff to get it working with standard firmware.
What does Colin say about all this? That's not the "right" driver for the printer. That is the one that ships with the Deluxe upgrade kit.
Hi
When you use a shim to level the bed, the shim has a thickness. Let's say your paper is 1 mm thick. After bed level, the Z=0 point will be 1 mm off of the bed of the printer. If I tell a print...
Hi
The origin is set in the firmware. It can be in any corner of the printer or it can be in the center of the heated bed. The simple way to locate the limit switches on the Pegasus was to put...
Hi
Before everybody goes off to Walmart and gets the wrong stuff and hates me forever ....
Green can a out 12" tall. Black top. Label reads:
Garnier
Fructis
Style
Extreme Control
4000 is the correct number for the M5 rods. It hasn't changed in forever and ever on the M5 screws. The Acme rods do use a lower number so you might have loaded the "deluxe kit" firmware. Rather than...
Hi
The assumption is that you first build the "normal" version of the printer. Then after it's all running, debugged, and printing like crazy ... you do the upgrade to the Deluxe package. As you...
That's ok, just don't take it as some sort of perfect way to go. The nylon jacket stuff is the biggest improvement over "standard" and I stole that from another thread here. I have also pulled the...
Hi
No problem !!
Please don't take the wiring stuff as "the only way" to do it. There are a *lot* of options when you get to wiring and cabling this beast. My cable routing is way off compared...
If you get rid of the coupler and mount the nut right, I believe you can keep the motors in the "normal" location for the non-Acme thread rod driving motors. That's what they did on the i3 MK2. Worst...
