My wife and I are working on building a Kossel as our first 3d printer and we're having some problems, I was hoping you guys could help.
I ordered my parts from builda3dprinter.eu, and have it hooked up to a RAMPS controller with the LCD/SD front end from Gadgets3D.
I have it talking on Pronterface and can interact with it on the LCD, but I have a problem with my motors. They seem like sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. mostly, they like to stutter or not respond to a move command. the belt will vibrate, but the pulley wont move and as such the carriage wont move.
any recommendations? for the most part my Z motor behaves the best and will reliably lower, but wont raise. my X will sporadically work either direction and my Y will work if it feels like it... which isn't very often.
any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
