Re: 4 axis Board??

Some are running it without doing the jumper thing, but it's pretty easy to do and can save you some grief.

Re: new extruder design problem with 1.75mm filament

I'm not running the new design, so I'm not sure if this will help you or not, but I had this problem when I first got my machine built. What I found was the tube was not centered directly below the grooves in the rollers. The filament was hitting on the bevel of the tube, and sometimes went sideways...

That is the only way I can see to do it.

In mach3 config/ports & pins/motor output change the DirActiveLow for that axis. That should reverse it.

Re: Noob, Extruder Gcode errors, REF All Home

I get the division by zero error sometimes. I found it's a F0.00 feed rate command. I just do a global search on the ouput file and delete them. Haven't had a chance to go back and see why I'm getting them sometimes and not others, but I'll get the time pretty soon, I hope.

Is that noise in the motor itself? Maybe I'm hearing it different, but that almost sounds like metal on metal.

Re: Temp measurement

Power to run the controller hooks up to line in. The relay that controls the heater has different terminals for where you would hook up your 12 volt in and out. Looking at that ones terminal config your 110 volt lines hook up to terminals 2 and 3. The 12 volt + feed coming from your H1's power suppl...

Re: Temp measurement

I have a few of those around. They take 110 or 220 volts to run them. The output is separate from the operations voltage, and they switch the 12V heaters just fine.
I just need to get a few more thermocouples for them. Something I just keep forgetting to order... :cry:

I did the same thing jbinion did. Took a knife and cut down the nylon until I could get it on. Tried to leave enough to hold when it was all said and done, but time will tell how that works out.

Thanks Tom! Ran separate wires from the power supply to each temp controller, and it's working again now. Don't know why I didn't think of that, but I guess two axis working fine and two not threw me off. Seems like it would be all axis, not just the same two all the time. But I guess it is what it ...

Re: Hot end question

That looks like it should work. The RTV should do a good job keeping the resistors in place.

I don't think you want to solder any of the connections on the hot end. It gets hot enough the solder can melt. I used crimp on connectors and it's working pretty well so far.

I added a heated bed a week ago. It works fine. And for a few days the machine ran good. But starting yesterday if I have the heated bed turned on, the x an y axis move very slow and jerk around a lot. The Z and the extruder motors work just fine even with the heated bed on.

Re: Configuration (H1-4x SeeMecnc) for Mach3

Andy, I'm thinking you might have been on the right track by mentioning changing the "Active Low" state. When I put mine together the motors would lock up but wouldn't move. Changing the active low fixed it.
