Well, it has been several days and we relocated the end stop. It seems to have resolved the problem more than we hoped for. It seems the bed is level when we home it now. So the whole problem revolved on the left Z axis motor setup. It would appear as per GrueMaster/SgaboLab that desynchronization w...

GrueMaster, YOU da man, thanks for the link as this explains the problem quite well. The machine shown is the junior sized version of what I have but the same construction. I have been toying with the idea of somehow syncing the Z axis screws but didn't think of this being the cause of my problem. I...

GrueMaster, Its the whole bed that moves and no, the print head is not moving as we recently upgraded the system with a linear rail on the print head gantry to remove that problem. The print head moves in the XY directions and the Bed in the Z. Its a corexy machine. Double checked the mount for the ...

Hi all, Well, here we are again seeking some ideas. For quite some time, we level the bed and do a print. Then like today after printing yesterday, went to do another print and have to level the bed height again because for some reason the distance between the nozzle and the glass bed becomes nothin...

Ok, USPS did their thing and the motors arrived. So picked one out of the box and said OH well, lets do it. Took the old motor off and then put the pulley on the new on and put it back on the printer. The new one comes with a 1M cable and flat connector on the end. So pulled the cover off the contro...

Well after I calmed down a bit, (read libation) and was on my way to refill, stopped by the printer and checked the connection to stepper motor itself(of course all power is off). Then out of habit, tried to rotate the motor by hand and it seemed rather stiff so unplugged the connector and removed t...

Hi, First post here and hope it is in the right section. I have a Tronxy X5S-400 that has been running for nearly a year now. Yesterday, printed an 8 hour print with no problems. Got up this morning and need to do an 18 hour print, but am encountering serious problems. All of a sudden, the X axis st...

On my machine, the extruder fan is always on. Therefore, it was wired into the 12v (in my case) power input to the control board.

That is to say there is NO control over this fan. It is always on.
