Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I was reading your .ini files and it says bed is 200x200. Are you using the full area available for the bed? and is the size metric?
Thanks,

That's what it was. I thought I had selected it but looks lie I hadn't saved it.

Is there a way to replace the E code with an A in Slic3r?

I wish I had an answer, but it just decided to go south.

Never mind, looks like I blew the parallel port on the computer.

Another oddity is that it moves in one direction very fast but in the other really slow.

I am beginning to suspect the board is bad. I tried to switch the inputs and all the motors work on the x axis input in one direction depending on active low enabled or not. but not on any of the other inputs.

Yes,
I tried to reset the output signals and and disabling the active low but still no movement on z or y. I am getting one direction on x, when output active low is enabled it moves right , disabled it moves to the left.

Hi, I have just finished and and nothing is working. I am using the TB6550 four axis board. I have checked the wiring from the diagram, black green blue red, and there is power to the board, checked the lpt port and it is working with the configuration that I downloaded. but the motors will not lock...

I used an exatco kniofe and did a little trim . May not have been the best idea but it worked.

We put the box together so we can take the printer off and use the controller system for a CNC if we wanted to.

Well not really but petty close. Still need to wire up the controller and pretty much every thing else. I have two LED thermostats from ebay. One for the heated bed, the other I hope to be able to use the thermocoupler and the led readout to measure the temp on the hot end. The first picture is of t...

Thanks, I think I'll save them for something else. We were looking into using 123d Catch so it might work ok for a turntable.

Can you post a picture of how you are doing it?
Thanks, Ellen and I are really close. Had to send her to the hardware store for a couple of 10-32 nylon nuts, but we hope to be ready to start experimenting by the weekend.

Thanks,
I have plenty of 18 and different color heatshrink so I don't get the wires mixed up.

Thanks,
I was reading about using lamp wire for the heating resistors and the thermistor, would regular 18g stranded work ok?

I coated the thermistor leads and put kaptan tape on the resistor ends. I still need to solder the ends together. Is there any sure way to keep the thermistor ends connected? I looked at the wiki and it doesn't really show how to use the new hot end to keep the resistors from falling out. Seems like...

Hi,
I added RTV to the outside of the heating resistors to keep them in place. Please check it out and let me know if this is ok.
Thanks.

Sweet!! Than you!

That would be awesome. I'm pretty close to finishing!

Thanks,
I still need to work on how to make the heated bed so it won't warp the x axis bed so I still have a bit of time.
jim

Is this thermistor that you are using for the bed?

Thanks,

Bummer..
Short on hardware, and being as it's 5-40, not something I can pick up around here. Hope it doesn't take too long to get it sent.

Dang, those look great! Can't wait to get finished now...lol
