Re: Orion z axis end stop not stopping carriage
Don't you have a friend that is good at soldering who could help you out? I bought this soldering iron (as a replacement to the first one), thinking it would be the right one for the job, but even this one does not heat up the 60/40 solder enough to make the connection. I had it set to 300C and no ...

Re: Orion z axis end stop not stopping carriage
So finally after attempting to install an insulated butt splice connectors and a new soldering iron, I still cannot make good contact with the wires, solder, and the end-stop switch. The solder (60/40 Rosin Core) never seems to melt enough to have good adhersion, and the butt splice didn't make a ...

Re: Orion z axis end stop not stopping carriage
Electrical tape is not for making electrical connections, it's for protecting and preventing accidental contacts with everything else. For a purely temporary fix, small alligator clip jumper wires would probably do the trick. Although you could just run out and buy a cheap soldering iron. Good ones ...

Re: Orion z axis end stop not stopping carriage
Latest update (sorry for the very long delay), So after a few (long delayed) attempts of trying to get the soldering iron up and running again, the iron never got hot enough to melt the solder and make the proper connections with the end-stop and the wires. Is there another way of reconnecting the ...

Re: Orion z axis end stop not stopping carriage
Thanks Gene, I have submitted a support request to SeeMeCNC. It's a shame I wasn't able to use it right away, but in due time I'll be able to fire this printer up and print some big things.

Re: Orion z axis end stop not stopping carriage
make sure the 2 wires are still connected to that end stop as well And wouldn't you know, I went to look at all three end stops and one of them was missing the metal lever! Short of ordering a replacement end stop, is there an alternative solution/hack to fix the end stop? I looked on seemecnc's ...

Orion z axis end stop not stopping carriage
Hello all, I recently received the Orion Delta printer and I love the look and design of this hardware. I moved on from a Printrbot Simple, so I'm in new territory with the Delta series. Earlier today I went through the "Setting the Z height" instructions and during the "Home All" step, the carriage ...
