New Linear Slide

Drew up a new slide , going to upgrade to 3/8" linear rods and bearings . Trying out the print, and if everything goes ok, Im gonna have to order some Blue Filament. The two different colors are the two halves [img]http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/80652411/sn/1234703601/name/new_slide.jpg[/img] pri...

Re: Prints skewed

I did perform some changes in slicer and tried another print and it did really well and was pleased, but I got alot slop and backlash out the wazoo. I don't have the bearing upgrade and there is just way to much play , even with the screws all the way in. I'm not really fond of the whole bearings ri...

Re: Using the Velleman MK138 with a heated print bed

I just tried what you suggested and it didnt work ,, so I pulled out the electric print. For the extruder we have been using a 4k thermistor while replacing R5 with a 18K resistor in order to get to above 200 celius. I just dont see how using a 10k stock thermistor and no resistance on R5 is going t...

Re: Prints skewed

Humm , Well I think I jumped the gun on cussing out the driver, because this morning , I was able to get everything to work. I still have to have the opto in order to not have skewed prints. I attempted at a velleman board holder . Had some problems with it sticking a first. It turned out ok, but no...

Re: Prints skewed

Well got off work to try and see if I can solve this issue with the Y-axis. Now it will not move at all ,, swap wiring and it moves fine. Ive come to the conclusion that these Chinese boards are pure JUNK . This makes two driver boards that have never worked right. ' throws hands up in the air' Just...

Re: Prints skewed

Its one opto in particular, with it in I get tilt, if I have it jumpered the tilt comes back. The Y-axis stepper is really noisy. and if I moved the wiring the noise travels to the other stepper. But the noise never goes away wether its jumper or not.

Re: MK138 mod

Also does anyone know if you can use the stocked thermistor that came in the kit to control a heat bed or do you have to go with the one that seemecnc has?? Was wondering if I could just change some resistors to get it to work, , thanks

Re: Prints skewed

I running a very old computer. I think it might be around the 200-500 mhz range.

Re: Prints skewed

I went and put all the opto's back in , now its printing correctly with no skew . Weird the three smaller ones are the leaning prints and the larger one is with the opto's back in , prints dont look good, but atleast the tilt is gone [img]http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/80652411/sn/1571289317/name/opto...

Re: Prints skewed

I swapped out x and y pinouts in mach to see if the issue moved and it didnt, so its something to do with the board. This is my second board, the last one, one of the axis wouldnt work. Now everything works, but Y-axis is skewed. [img]http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/80652411/sn/1910576987/name/print_sk...

Prints skewed **fixed**

Anyone got a fix for prints being tilted to one side. I have already jumpered the opto's and removed the diodes. The prints for the Y-axis is leaning back and when I switch out the wiring with the X-axis , it jumps to the X-axis.
