Re: Rostock Max V2 heated bed short

Arrrgggg.... Just had the same bed heater connector meltdown. I haven't had my Max V2 opened up since I installed an HE280 upgrade in September. Lots of printing since then with no issues. Suddenly today a few minutes into a print theres an ugly burnt electronics and plastics smell. I went over to t...

Re: Simple Question

I have a V2 but I did the HE280 upgrade. I think the PTFE tubing in the second picture may the one used to insulate the thermistor wires used in "Step 26 — Prepare the Thermistor." The PTFE tubing that you are looking for is the long piece of PTFE used for the bowden tube. Should be around...

Re: So what did I do wrong?

Just a comment that the auto calibration plugin was 7 factor when I installed it just after it was released. My diagonal rod length is getting set to 294.370 after my last calibration run with .03 deviation. I have a V2 with the HE280 upgrade. So should we be doing 6 or 7 factor? I guess 6 now that ...

I haven't tried it yet but installation of the plugin via the OctoPrint Plugin Manager also seemed to work. Use the Git master branch download URL (https://github.com/geneb/OctoPrint-Delt ... master.zip) in the plugin manager.

Re: Raspberry Pi benefits?

I actually run quite a bit of stuff on my OctoPrint Pi including pigpiod. I have mine set up with OctoPrint pluggins that leverage pigpiod to control some relays so I can turn my printer and some lighting on and off remotely. It also auto-powers off the printer 10 mins after a print completes. I've ...

Re: Raspberry Pi benefits?

Just a note that you can install the Arduino development environment on the Raspberry Pi and use it to upload new firmware to your printer. You will also need something like VNC installed so you can remotely access the Pi's desktop and the Arduino development environment. I always make sure I have s...

Re: powering a light ring off the HE280

There is no control for the Part LED on the HE280. Based on the schematics in GitHub looks like the + side connects to the main +12V feed and and the - side connects to ground through a 470 ohm resistor.

Re: mhackney's Real V3 Build Thread

Interesting idea. Firstly, there won't be any twisting under normal printing conditions, there is really no force on the joints and the springs are designed to eliminate backlash (a great feature of these ball & cup joints). I admit I'm a software engineer and its a long...long time since I too...

Re: mhackney's Real V3 Build Thread

Okay, here's a question/thought related to the new HE280 and some of the issues with the head twisting during the taping. The new head mounts the ball joints on the top of the effector plate while the old one mounted the ball joints on the bottom. I'm wondering if this allows the tip of the hot end ...

Re: Z Probe errors with Rostock V2 + HE280 hot end

The video clearly shows the HE 280 twisting as it taps. That may be causing inconsistent results and thus the calibration errors. You could try changing the values below to cause the probe to tap closer in to the center (just move it in a little). Maybe it will cause the twisting to stop. <-EPR:3 81...

Re: Lines in print after HE280 upgrade

If its related to back pressure and a possible blockage have you checked to see how well the PTFE tube is seated inside the hot end. In the HE280 the PTFE tube is pushed all the way down against the heat break. Also make sure the PTFE tube is cut cleanly at 90 degrees. If there is any gap then heat ...

OK, Thanks. I was confused by the new auto level function that is added to the LCD menu with the firmware upgrade. It sets the bed temp to 65 and the HE temp to 200 before running. I guess this is not part of the SeeMeCNC mods to repetier for the accelerator upgrade. Although the HE heating expansio...

HE280 Upgrade Calibration failure while heating hot end

Just finished doing the HE280 upgrade to my V2. Auto calibration seems to work fine as long as the hot end is off. As soon as I set the hot end to be heated then the auto calibration fails at random points in the middle of the calibration sequence leaving the printer frozen. I've tried using the cal...
