First print for real everyday use...

So, were back from a short holiday. Day before we left I noticed that one of the hinges from our mobile-home window was missing. Of course last year I promised myself to fix that before the new holiday... I managed to design a new one, en printed and mounted it just before we left. Quite a personal ...

Re: Strange behaviour while platform descending to printbed

Check the .91 config and the .92 config and search for "always check endstops" and compare the values. I'm guessing that the .91 has it disabled and the .92 has it enabled. I'm pretty sure that this is your problem because it matches the symptoms almost exactly. I hate to prove you're wro...

Re: Strange behaviour while platform descending to printbed

Yes, why didn't I think of checking that... However, the malfunction was also visible during homing, but not so on the .91 firmware. I guess with "always check endstops" turned off it would at least be visible during manual homing with the bed powered and in temp. That's not the case. Also...

Re: Strange behaviour while platform descending to printbed

Are you sure your belts are tight on all 3 steppers? Belt tensioning has been a concern for me, but at least they are all equally loose or tight. The "skipping" of the skate is always more or less equal in height, and in my opinion far to big to be slipping on the motorpulley. Check your ...

Thanks, Will check all suggestions. Can't think of it being an EMI problem, since the machine has functioned before and I did not do any rewiring. Although the the LCD has been off, and I plugged the FSR controller on the Z-min... I'll be back!

DeltaCon, you should not be considering doing this if your concern is burning down the house while you are away.

Re: Control a relay from phone to shotdown a printer

If by relay you mean a disconnect from the mainpower, I am not sure that is what you want. Ofcourse anything is better then burning down the house, but cutting power to the hotend AND fan keeps the hotend overshooting it's temp for a while. And ofcourse without the peekfan running. So that's a certa...

Re: Enclosure build to print ABS and Nylon bigger and faster

You could try polycarbonate. That can be bended in cold state, and if I'm not mistaken any workshop that can curve metal sheets can also curve PC sheets in the same fashion. That would make a real beautiful enclosure with bended walls like that!
