Hi, Again sorry for delay. Dog Surgery and my health i'm a bit bogged down but would still like to fix this sucker.. I'm including the picture I took of the board as well. @xenocrates I'm all ears for how to continue debugging and will try to be faster at replies.. Or if we can use slack etc and an ...

Hi, Just tested both. Seems the replaced hot end is 180ohm and what I think is the heated bed around 90 Ohm though hard to trace the wires i went from schematic etc.. I actually changed the hot end when I had the def error because i was having issues with the resistor connections etc.. Could be the ...

Hi all, I've been in and out of hospital for a while now and was never able to fix and debug my rostock max v2. The last i checked I had a def error which from a previous posting and searching means i have a broken or shorted thermistor on the bed or hot end. i guess there was a spare thermistor hoo...

Hi, Well i have a V2 that Errors out now. progagly a short or not working heated bed thermistor or hot end one. I've tested both to no avail though and have tried to switch hot end to the spare one on the board that didn't help. Then i left the printer and forgot it for a year while my mk2 i3 did a ...

I had to take a pause from using my rostock max (i love it) after I started getting a def error and hospitalizations. From the forum board and my testing it seemed the most common reasons are either a hotend thermistor error or one on the bed. I got as far as testing that I get resistance on both of...

Hi, Hmm so even the heated bed? I didn't even touch that part. As for testing you mean unplug the thermistor and test just between thermistor for resistance? I shouldn't check the cable on the printer side for resistance? Finally should you still get def showing if you unplug the thermistor for hot ...

Hey Guys, I got an E3D from a friend but after I installed it how I thought it should be (following a matterhacker guide and some of my own hacking) I found out that it may be a knock off. This is one of the links: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/3D-Printer-J-head-Hotend-with-Single-Cooling-Fan-for-1...

Hi all, First thanks for all the info. And yes my apologies. Running on 1hr of sleep at most and 103F for last 5 days. Combine that with a Rambo, a Ramps and an Azteeg X3 pro build all simultaneously (thankfully getting help with the other two). It's definitely my fault there on terminology and I wi...

@jesse you mean this? http://www.miniinthebox.com/3d-printer-mega-2560-r3-ramps-1-4-extend-shield-4988-stepper-driver-set_p2627381.html?currency=USD&litb_from=paid_adwords_shopping" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; How did you set that up on Ramps? Any thoughts welcome. @j...

Any chance on getting your firmware notes or info for how you coded the two new steppers in the video?

I guess I'll mimic a bit the retraction and other settings they have on diamond hot end.

Rambo is what I meant.

Hi, Thanks for the video. You are indeed the first one I've seen to at least document the process let alone do it :) . Ramps is what I meant as I'd rather not change the board if I don't need to. Looks like you're doing diamond hot end too. Do you have your firmware yet to share or any other files? ...

Hi, Thanks for the info. I guess i'm still a bit lost so will keep researching. @polygonhell you mean these? https://www.dropbox.com/s/15sf4tkq0p1y7zb/2015-12-16%2017.25.46.jpg?dl=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; https://www.dropbox.com/s/928tpkr742fq6nm/2015-12-16%2017.25....

Hi, I got a Diamond Hot end and am building a smaller experimental (kossel mini) but after a bit of research I read that I could add an expansion board maybe to my RAMPS in my Rostock Max V2 ? Can somebody confirm and/or help me out with this. Expansion is called Extrudrboard here: http://reprap.me/...

Hey,
ABS. I've been using simplify3d for slicing and had zero changes in settings (or ABS filament or anything) between working prints and these crappy prints. I left for 1 week on vacation and that's it.. Which makes this weirder.

hi,
No other thoughts or suggestions? I haven't figured out what my problem and cleaned the parts best I could. not sure what else to do and still kind of new.. might opt for e3d hot end replacement for lack of anything else to try.

Well I got both an Azteeg X3 Pro and Rumba with the Greetech kit from Aliexpress. Gonna build two printers. one for diamond hot end that will be experimental. and the other maybe for laser or cnc later ? or just different experimental. not sure. I did get a bunch of those pololu ones I'm sitll confu...

Thanks for the reply. The start layers were also weird like that and some of the mid ones on one of my earlier prints. When I can get the printer back in one piece I'll re-print it. For now though: Nozzle size: 0.5mm Extrusion width: 0.5mm Layer height: 0.25mm ? whole image here: https://www.dropbox...

Did I post this in the wrong place? No suggestions or thoughts? I still haven't managed to debug this and am wondering if switching to E3d all metal hot end.

Hi All, I have stock Rostock Max V2. The problem is weird uneven 5mm block print (and others). See pictures below. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ngxkeuczrkfmzrp/2015-09-12%2020.40.52.jpg?dl=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; What I've done : Took apart the EZstruder cleaned every...

not sure which ones from the schematic. Also I'm looking at boards like the RUMBA to compare. They seem to all have terminal pins for steppers AND spaces for these Paolo stepper boards https://www.pololu.com/product/1182/pictures" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; What's the ad...

yep for the boards you mention. I don't mind adding add ons or doing some soldering.

The smoothieboard seems to say I can solder my own extra drivers with free gpio. but then ends there..

Hey all, I already have a Rostock Max V2 that I love. I kickstarted a Diamond Hot end and I received but I'm too new and scared to modify my existing Rostock :). I've decided to build a Rostock mini for dev experimental work and Diamond Hot End. A learning journey that I plan on documenting and shar...

sorry. I'm not sure i know what that means to add my own. I'm looking through the extnesive docs on steppers on smoothieboard but nothing about having more then 4-5.. I guess I need 6 but probably better to have 1-2 extra just in case.. Just with linuxcnc had better reviews and was better able to ha...

no sleep = me confused so still looking for smoothieboard add on boards..
