Re: Rostock variant - endstops,homing not working (desperate

Lochemage, I decided to make a few videos 1) homing - homing 2) "horistontal movement" - horisontal movement 3) Z-axis not moving - z-axis not moving What I may think that creates this issue, is that one of my carriage parts was made in reverse/mirrored - the z axis one. So in order to make it work ...

Re: Rostock variant - endstops,homing not working (desperate

Just my two cents. I had a similar issue with endstops where it would all the sudden have one or two axis not moving back upwards but just stand still. It turns out it was because I was messing with the wiring and had endstop wiring close to other wires causing some interference and the endstops ...

Re: Rostock variant - endstops,homing not working (desperate

Lochemage - good advice, thanks! I'm not used to microcontrollers, I'm more of a fabricator, mechanical designer. But it has been a very interesting learning curve. I have come across a slightly strange problem though - homes good, moves good(even with 8th stepping) and slices fast. But when i ask ...

Re: Rostock variant - endstops,homing not working (desperate

Since I already baited you with the beer, can I ask you for some information on how to set up fishing line spools? I machined my own with a diameter of 14.2mm, but I'm not entirely sure what the pitch or teeth value should be.... or should i use the closest GT2 or T2.5 pulley and go with that?

Lochemage - it seems that you have indeed saved my hiney. All three axes home and seem to work fine! If you are ever in Europe(Belgium or Estonia), please contact me, there is a case of the best beer available waiting for you :)

Re: Rostock variant - endstops,homing not working (desperate

Well fuck me sideways and call me a letterbox - I had them previously as X-max, Y-max and Z-zero. I changed them to Zero,zero and MAX and X and Y started homing properly. Seems that Z axis is inverted so I'm setting it as false. seeing if that will fix it. there is a second strange issue - my Z axis ...
