Re: Commissioning problem. (solved)
Finally got it sorted!! I had converted some .stl's into gcode while I was waiting for parts to arrive from China. What I hadn't realised was that these files also hold the specific printer...

Have you got Marlin.ino, that is what it is called for later versions of the Arduino IDE?
View ArticleRe: Marlin Firmware
No; there's no 'marlin.ino' either. Have attached a screengrab of the file names in the directory; there are 5 with 'marlin' in the name. One (with no extension) is a 'processing source code' file ?!?...

The one with no extension is your .pde, windows is 'helpfully' hiding known extensions to protect you from scary technical details. You can turn that off, google 'hide known file extensions' to find...

Many thanks. Sure enough, those splendid windows people had hidden the extension; Ooohhh I laughed.

Still 'birthing' the Rostock. All hardware seems to be working; bhot bed, hot end, steppers, extruder etc. Still trying to 'home all axis'. When any carriage hits its endstop, the carriage doesnt move...

Hello, I am about half way through with a Rostock build. I am having a problem locating a source for the 30" 762mmx8mm rods as the vxb site is out of stock and will not have more for another 30days or...

Delta bed levelling
I have an interesting one here I cannot seem to find online anywhere. Apparently, the most needed adjustment to level a delta is offsetting the delta radius to compensate for a concave or convex bow...
View ArticleRe: Delta bed levelling
I think it's likely you have a geometry problem. The only things that matter in the firmware are setting th plane so it's level and removing any curvature from that plane. If you're seeing errors at...
View ArticleRe: Rostock endstops being weird
I think your error is in your endstop wiring to your electronics, based solely on the fact that triggering an endstop messes with your electronics. . Endstop wires need to be between signal and ground.

Have tried motherboard configurations 3, 33 and 34 in the marlin file 'configuration.h'. Each gives a different set of problems. Motherboard 3 (MEGA/RAMPS up to 1.2). Using this, X and Z endstops...

RAMPS 1.2 and 1.3 use the same pins for the X and Z endstops, but the Y endstop moves down two across the versions. Possible workaround - use configuration 33, edit pins.h to pus the Y endstop on the...

You have the endstops on the MIN headers where the firmware is expecting them on the MAX headers.
