No worries! I am slowly adding all the necessary information to my GitHub. [attachment 25441 gusplate.png] The only thing that is really important is that you have the M8 holes located on the...

Re: RepRap 3DR Delta printer Released
Had fun printing the T800 model in black ABS at 0.2mm, however the bowden tube lag is rearing its ugly head. I can't get the cables to print properly because the filament is not starting and stopping...

Congrats, curious to see how well it prints and what it sound like while printing. Can you do a video sans music? At what speed are you homing, seems a bit too fast IMO.

So i went back and re-read the post on configuring firmware for the first edition of the 3DR Simple and I'm pretty sure the dimensions have changed on this rendition. So, that means that, although I...

I would still recommend you half your homing speed (looks like 200*60 and 100*60 is more appropriate). You have Y labels on the tower in the rear. Can you confirm if you have your delta as such:...

Have you checked the tightness of the set screws on the belt drive gears?
View ArticleRe: Stepper motors clicking while printing
I have them as tight as I think they can go. I think the clicking noise is the belt teeth moving against themselves. The ends of the belt are pinched together, that is what keeps them in place. It...

Yeah it should be ZYX clockwise, specifically oriented like the diagram above. Quotebrendanjerwin Hmmm. Mine is Z X Y clockwise. Probably wrong, huh?

Does it really matter? Each axis should be the same geometry and identical.

Quotegmh39 Does it really matter? Each axis should be the same geometry and identical. It only matters insofar as your firmware definitions match what you're talking about physically. I'm just going...

Could be a few things, I would guess the stepper drivers are overheating. They go into a thermal shutdown then restart, which happens quite fast, i.e. several times a second, so you get a very jerky...

View ArticleRe: Building a 3DR "Simple"
Yes, it puts it right in front of the tower. The issue I was having while following that (or a very similar) routine, was that when I got the end to 0.1 above the bed at the towers (using M666), it...
