Re: Orion towers will not home

Oh what fun! Since SeeMeCNC was out of RAMBO replacement boards, one was ordered from UlitiMachine. It came yesterday, but the 10 pin connector on the top edge was not screw terminals, but pins in a holder. Happened to have a mating connector with screw terminals and sockets that fit. Unfortunately ...

Re: Orion towers will not home

Rambo1.2gF2F3.JPG
Voltage at X33-1, and both sides of F2 were 12 VDC, but both sides of D2 were 0VDC, so the fuse holder is bad.
The fuse holder was probably damaged during my first attempt at removing F2, before making a tool to do this.

Re: Orion towers will not home

Thanks for the fast responses! I checked the fuses in place and they read about the same as the leads to the meter (0.2xx ohms). I did set up to extrude metal clay and perhaps the firmware was reset, so I'll take out the fuses and check them out of circuit and reset the printer for ABS. The extruder ...

Orion towers will not home

The three stepper motors used to home the Orion have no power when a G28 command is issued, nor when home on the front panel is clicked in the printer settings menu. I have found small (nano) fuses F3 and kF2 on the board and they check out OK, but am unable to find F1 to check it. Does anyone have ...

Re: Metal clay printing?

What I want to do is print my metal clay (Metal Adventures Inc. is my company) by extruding it from a syringe. The UP! that I modified to do this has too much vibration of the platform that makes the clay sag. I'd like to modify a Delta to control a syringe. Does anyone have any Ideas on how to do ...

Re: Alibre Design and Rhino

I started with Alibre and loved it since it had nice tutorials and examples to follow. Even imported a gear making formula from Germany. It was kind of scary when the name changed to Geomagic and then to Cubify and then to Geomagic Design, but the versions all support the stuff I'm making. It's stl ...
