Ralph, I've been looking around the forum for your sliding back case and for the life of me can't seem to find it. Have you made your stl files available publicly?
Yeah, it's eating away at the filament. The reason the motor wasn't moving was because I didn't have the hot end heated up, so marlin was preventing motion. I'm using the makerfarm i3 8". I'll give Tom's clean out technique a try this weekend.
I really have to put a lot of force into it when passing the filament through by hand. Putting way more pressure on the extruder than was ever done before by the motor.
So I feel like an idiot...the stepper wasn't moving because of the min temp setting for extrusion (face slap). After switching out the pins in firmware and plugging into e1 I tried to move the stepper in pronterface since I was already connected to my laptop and it wouldn't, but it tells you...
So my printer issues seem to continue. For a while I've been printing fine after removing the polyfuse from the RAMPS board for the heat bed and powering the arduino board via USB. All of a sudden I started having issues with my extruder not working during the prints. For a minute I was...
Thanks for the info. I jumped the pins using an old hard drive jumper for selecting master/slave. I don't think I jumped any additional connections, but not sure. I'm pretty sure the d1 is there because I was running without a pc for a long time. If the external power works for the bed and it...
I jumpered the 5v pin with the vcc pin next to the reset button. Then connected the servo to the first set of pins closest to the reset button. Updated the firmware with the changes in configuration.h to support the servo and auto bed leveling. After all these changes and it was flaking out I...
Need help, my printer has pseudo died after attempting auto bed leveling on my Ramps board. I have the MakerFarm kit and when I tried to configure auto bed leveling things went bad. I've tried reverting all the changes to no avail. Basically the symptoms now are that the LCD display panel...
It's possible the ptfe lining has failed too. I've had that happen several times where I had to replace it. Ended up getting an e3d hot end to replace the j-head that came with my kit.
