Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Okay,

Here is my first print. I didn't notice until AFTER the print had started that the Program was setup for PLA and not ABS. I just let it finish printing to see what it would look like. Definitely need some tuning and program edits to make it right.

:D :D !!!!!EUREKA!!!!! :D :D Okay, here is what I did. I swapped the Hot End/Extruder leads from the Extruder 1 Heat terminals to the Extruder 0 Heat terminals and via the Printer controls, (The LCD and knob) went to the Adjust Temp section. Set it to heat at 150 Degree's and the extruder began to ...

Okay, Sorry for the gap in communications, but I am just now able to spend some time with the printer again. I am going to attach 3 pictures showing: 1.) What the Printer LCD indicates at start up ROSTOCKMAXX STARTUP.jpg 2.) The bed with a command to heat up to 55 degree's. (LCD) BEDCMDTO55DEG.jpg 3 ...

My apologies for not updating. I've been extremely busy with work, finals and holiday shopping for my baby grandson. Lol.

I'll post something tonight or tomorrow. Thank you all for you continued support.

Where about in central Illinois are ya? I'm in the Peoria area myself. I'm just outside of Hanna City, so about 10 miles from Peoria. Good to hear there's another person in the area. There aren't always a lot of people into my hobbies around here. And an update: [img]http://i202.photobucket.com ...

If the bed and Hotend thermistors have the connections swapped at the RAMBO board.
Possibly some bad PID settings.
Can you show us a picture of the LCD when the Hotend is heating?

I will get you a picture.

Worth asking the question... Does the temp climb before you set a target temp, meaning that it fails to regulate to target, or does it climb from the moment the machine is powered up, which is a whole different issue? The temp does not climb until I tell it to. I am beginning to think there may be ...

I will do my best to get/take short video clips so you all can see what's going on. Here is the order of operations: 1.) I turn the printer on. 2.) Open Repetier-Host and verify the default temp is well below 200. 3.) Connect the Host software to the printer and open the Manual Tab. 4.) I verify a ...

The LCD does display the temp as it rises. It just doesn't stop at the setpoint. For my curiosity, I changed the default temp to 150 and then ran the auto tune PID via M303 S150. Still had no effect on it as it climbed well over 200 degrees. I will run the the CLEAR EEPROM again later today and post ...

You need to edit the Configuration.h file (part of the package that you opened in the Arduino environment) and change the direction of the offending axis. Somewhere in Configuration.h you'll find #define INVERT_X_DIR false // or true #define INVERT_Y_DIR false // or true #define INVERT_Z_DIR false ...

Interesting.... I brought up the Repetier-Host Software, opened the manual control tab and typed in a G28 (home) and pressed enter. 2 of the 3 axes went in the UP (+) direction, while the last one tried to plummet to its death. I stopped it before it could do any damage. I pushed the 3 axes back to ...

Sweetness! Ok, so I did as you said and re-downloaded the Arduino files and uploaded to the printer, and Vee-oooh-la, she's alive again! Now I am gonna try the manual controls to see if the hot end will actually respond to the correct temp commands! Thank you and will update again.

If the reading on the display is exceeding the set temperature, it's not the thermister. I'd try resetting the eeprom, and re-downloading the firmware, the only thing I can think that would cause that would be some sort of corrupt PID values. If you are verifying the temperature externally, what ...

Assuming you've already taken a snapshot of the EEPROM settings via Repetier Host - forgive my lack of trust, I do it with pen and paper... Go to that web address. Download and unpack the link for the firmware. Open the .INO file in Arduino. Config the Arduino to talk to your printer (make sure any ...

I've read the most recent manual that was posted. Unless I missed it I didn't see where/how to load the firmware onto the Rambo? I'll check again. I stopped reading earlier because I was get fairly aggravated lol.

Hello everyone. I recently acquired a Rostock MAX V1 from an instructor at my college. He at one time was able to print with it, but a student "wrecked" the printer and thats when he got me involved. I found a blown fuse on the Rambo (F2), and replaced it with one that he ordered online somewhere ...

I have a similar issue at the moment. The thermistor is responsible for Temperature feedback and control correct? My Max melted the chamber section of the nozzle once because it cannot regulate the temperature very well, if at all. I have to re-download the correct GUI software again, but while at ...

Hello all, Yep, you guessed it. I am ThatOneGuy! :lol: Hailing from Central Illinois and relatively new to the 3D printing scene. I recently was asked to try and help one of my instructors at the local community college with his Rostock Max. Needless to say, I had more perseverance then he did and ...
