Re: Fan Direction after Upgradeing to 29amp PS

I have gone back and reviewed my installation. I had it installed correctly. I am felling more flow now. The fan blades must have been restricted by an internal cable. Thanks for your reply.

Re: Garbled text on LCD screen

I stand corrected. I assumed the display was an I2C device. I have another arduino system I built utilizing that bus for the display. So when I got a garbled screen and it cleared when I unplugged the I2C bus from the Rambo I assumed the bus contention. Thanks for clearing that up. I still ...

Is this the correct direction? Seams like it ...

Re: G29 issues after conversion to HE280

My printer is working pretty good now. I have discovered a new issue. If I put G29 in the Start G-Code, when I run the job the bed heats up to my desired temp, then starts the auto alignment procedure. The problem is the bed temperature is turned off by calling of the G29 routine. Afteer the G29 ...

I observed that when the screen was hung it cleared by disconnecting the buss. The display buss is also on that buss... A better ...

Re: G29 issues after conversion to HE280

I just completed the v2 to v3 upgrade with the HE280.I had the same issue too. I fixed it by manually setting the Z height to old way. The printer thinks the bed is lower so the head crashes. G29 worked after that.
