Hi, apologies,new to 3d printing. I installed this bed sensor and now I can't get it to work. I updated the software to Marlin using Jim brown's compiled version but nothing works.

Any recommendations?

mental vessel
#

What kind of printer and is it an inductive probe?

viscid arrow
#

Yup, it is, just confirmed

mental vessel
#

Def not familiar on that one lol

#

Pull the probe off the board @woven comet

viscid arrow
#

Maybe it's the probe type, maybe the probe voltage needed, we need more info on that probe and the probe model

mental vessel
#

Ya that’s what I’m thinking

#

And maybe it’s not confided for it either

woven comet
#

Wait. Working on shift, will get to it shortly

spark bronze
#

Do also cross check the wiring

mental vessel
woven comet
#

Ok, this is a tevo tarantula i3. A hand me down. From a good friend of mine.

#

As for the sensor

#

I recall reading something about NPN

#

As for the wiring

#

Red is Z- where the sensor is connected, yellow is Y- for the bed, blue is X- for the extruder

woven comet
#

i removed the NPN sensor and move back to manual

#

SN04 -N sensor

woven comet
#

but I am still checking and reading thru the configuration.h to see what I am missing

#

also found that only the jim brown firmware supports SN04-N sensors

mental vessel
#

So did it work without the probe installed?

woven comet
#

I haven't compiled the firmware yet, awaiting recommendations first if I can still use this part before going manual

spark bronze
#

Is it powered by 12V/24V?

#

Or are you trying to power it with 5V from the motherboard

#

Is the sensor working when powered? The LED should turn on when you put the sensor near a piece of metal.

woven comet
spark bronze
#

So the issue is, it's not probing?

#

Can you share your config file?

woven comet
#

Sure. Let me upload in dropbox or google drive?

spark bronze
#

Sure

#

No hurry

woven comet
#

sorry for the delay

#

as for the endstopper, if i can get this to work, I will use it a z+ stop

mental vessel
#

So just for future we will really only need config .h and configAdv.h to have what we need to loik at it all 🙂 I’m gonna look right now 🙂

woven comet
#

sorry, really new to this

mental vessel
#

no you actually did great bud!!

#

like super prepared lol

#

🔥

#

so can you show me where your probe is mounted to your hot end?

mental vessel
woven comet
#

At the moment no. I've been reading and learning from it. I dont know the correct combination

mental vessel
#

ok cool im about half way and everthing looks good so far

woven comet
#

Enabling something sometimes fails and I have to find which one failed

mental vessel
#

i got you ill compile it to make sire its right as rain L)

woven comet
#

I think on the first compile, enabling auto bed leveling failed if i dont uncomment bilinear as bed setting

woven comet
#

Thou the wife supports me on this as she sees my enthusiasm

mental vessel
#

no worries I remember how stressful marlin build where. I had a 8 bit board youi had to filash a boot loader to flash a nre build

#

100% scared stiff for that lol

woven comet
#

im in that situation, afraid to brick this heavy piece of equipment:D

mental vessel
#

Is there a filament sensor

#

@woven comet ?

woven comet
#

none

#

what is that part? first time i heard it

mental vessel
#

it just detects if there is filament iin the printer. there more trouble than there worth

woven comet
#

ajt tje eors <- pardon?

mental vessel
#

lol youll notice I edit my stuff alot,lol just bare with me lol

#

it will correct itself lol

woven comet
#

lol

#

i'll keep it to myself then lol

mental vessel
#

no if its odd just know im most likly editing the message lol

woven comet
#

ok

mental vessel
#

🤷‍♂️ bad typist on worse keyboard lol

woven comet
#

btw, i moved my printer to my work office

#

is it ok to print in an airconditioned environment?

mental vessel
#

ya its fine just try to not put it in front of a vent, draft is not good for your print sticking

woven comet
#

ok. thanks for the tip

spark bronze
#

For pla its fine

#

Other filaments you might want to use an enclosure

#

Lol, you'll be thankful for the frustrations later on as you progress

woven comet
#

got it

spark bronze
#

It's the best way to learn

woven comet
#

i'll add it to my wishlist 😄

spark bronze
#

😁

spark bronze
woven comet
#

i dont have filament at the moment

#

might buy next month

#

until i can get this to work

spark bronze
#

Let us introduce you to polymaker 😁😁

woven comet
#

lol

#

i hope you can ship all the way to philippines lol

spark bronze
#

They are crap

mental vessel
#

ok ready to try and compile

spark bronze
#

Will give you more headache

woven comet
#

i dont have much budget at the moment and learning so far with 1/4 spool PLA from a friend

spark bronze
mental vessel
#

@spark bronze do you know that screen model off hand?

spark bronze
#

Shipping should be cheaper from there I believe

woven comet
#

we'll see

mental vessel
spark bronze
#

Think its the reprap_discount_2004 thingy @mental vessel

mental vessel
#

REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER

spark bronze
#

Close enough 😁

woven comet
#

what that?

mental vessel
#

GT2560 (YHCB2004) LCD Display
//
// Requires Testato, Koepel softwarewire library and
// Andriy Golovnya's LiquidCrystal_AIP31068 library.
//
//#define YHCB2004

//
// Original RADDS LCD Display+Encoder+SDCardReader

spark bronze
mental vessel
#

ya ^^

woven comet
#

i'm lost

spark bronze
#

Hmmm, havent heard of the yhcb2004

spark bronze
#

😅

woven comet
#

ok

mental vessel
#

if ENABLED(FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART)
#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER
#endif

//

spark bronze
#

Lemme go on pc and check

mental vessel
#

thats the 2 reprap ones

spark bronze
#

Gimme a few mins

mental vessel
#

that was really the only thing

#

and a filament sensor

spark bronze
#

Easier to type on pc anyway 😁

woven comet
#

lol

mental vessel
#

there is a v3 version of th]e 12964

#

not 2 color tho im guessing lol

spark bronze
#

@woven comet Can you share a pic of the whole display assembly

#

@mental vessel Looks like it's gonna be //#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER

mental vessel
#

ok auto marlin build here I go lol

spark bronze
#

lol

woven comet
#

i'd say you are right

spark bronze
#

Yep cool

#

😄

#

@woven comet So, coming back to the explaining bit

woven comet
#

take your time

spark bronze
#

For these type of simple display, there is usually 2 type

#

Full graphical and Character

woven comet
#

i'd assume mine is character

#

given the display

#

full graphical would be those expensive enders

spark bronze
#

as the name suggests, full graphical (sometime referred as GLCD) can display weird/graphical type images

#

while the other can only display characters

mental vessel
#

lol I gotta redownload 2.0 bug fix i guess i dont have it in my every marlin file lol

spark bronze
woven comet
#

too many technical stuff, let me ingress this slowly

spark bronze
#

the 12864 GLCD means it is a graphical LCD with 128 x 64 pixel

woven comet
#

display size

#

or better yet resolution

spark bronze
#

2004 character display on the other hand means is has 20 columns and 4 rows

woven comet
#

my coding days are gone

#

the text names theyre giving is confusing

spark bronze
woven comet
#

12864 which is actually 128x64

#

then 2004 which is 20x4 in text

#

the box never came with a manual

#

assembly was youtube made

#

didnt even come with link to update firmware

spark bronze
#

even in the manual this likely wont be included

woven comet
#

so everything i have atm is google

spark bronze
#

you'll eventually learn about it as you go

woven comet
#

and now from you gentlemen 🙂

mental vessel
#

its the pro right @spark bronze it wants a boot screen lol

spark bronze
#

and you can always post here if you have any question

mental vessel
#

basicly did

spark bronze
#

@woven comet the printer is yours right? Not planning to sell anytime soon?

woven comet
#

i'd try to limit that. i mean, i dont want to be a burden to everyone or anyone

mental vessel
#

stole it lol

spark bronze
#

@mental vessel can set a custom name for you

woven comet
#

its mine, will keep it forever

#

its a keepsake from a good friend of mine

spark bronze
#

like "Tito ready to print"

#

lol

mental vessel
#

i set it to his mame

spark bronze
#

ahhh, cool cool

woven comet
#

yeah, i stole it with a cute smile

#

you cant mistake that smile hahaha

mental vessel
#

I could of made it bad lol

#

stupid joke lol

woven comet
#

its ok

mental vessel
#

im nice like that tho lol

woven comet
#

he suggested i use this to get my mind of a few things

mental vessel
#

1280 or 2560 lol

woven comet
#

1280

mental vessel
#

let see what i messed up

woven comet
#

is there a emulator to try a firmware before flashing?

woven comet
#

ok

spark bronze
#

I mean, you could

woven comet
#

how you testing it?

mental vessel
#

syntax x3

#

lol

spark bronze
#

but wont be able to test it real world conditions

spark bronze
#

if there are errors in the code, like missing ; or other stuff like that

#

it wont compile

mental vessel
#

na just give me 15 mins lol @spark bronze geez i aint done marlin in forever LMAO

spark bronze
#

LOL

woven comet
#

lol

#

challenge accepted?

mental vessel
#

Marlin\src\HAL\AVR../../inc/SanityCheck.h:76:4: error: #error "Your Configuration.h file is for an old version of Marlin. Downgrade Marlin or upgrade your Configuration.h."😡

woven comet
#

sorry, I'm old

mental vessel
#

stupid v numbers its bug fix lol

#

why they do that its stupif lol

spark bronze
#

lol

#

had that when doing a mod recently

#

just download an archive marlin version

mental vessel
#

maybe its the hot fix ver

spark bronze
#

think they had to change stuffs to account for 32bit boards

mental vessel
#

02000902

spark bronze
#

that's a more recent release

mental vessel
#

2.0.9.2 oct 3 , 21

spark bronze
#

what's the one he shared?

mental vessel
#

02000902

#

lol

#

its was a mid release I think

spark bronze
#

I see

mental vessel
#

this is why I like klipper lol

spark bronze
#

send me the config and _adv. I'll try to compile it

#

😄

mental vessel
#

no its just the stupid things like that lol

#

feels like its good now lol

spark bronze
#

lol

mental vessel
#

lots of yellow and no red lol

spark bronze
#

better yellow than red XD

mental vessel
#

it dont like his name lol

spark bronze
#

Too short?

mental vessel
#

dashes

woven comet
#

name?

mental vessel
#

ya it dont like the - in your name lol 🙂

woven comet
#

my name?

mental vessel
#

i put spaces lol

woven comet
#

what name?

#

name of the printer?

spark bronze
#

just use "Tito" instead

woven comet
#

hahaha

#

you know what "tito" even means?

spark bronze
#

if that's ok with @woven comet ofcourse

#

lol

woven comet
#

i'm cool with anything

mental vessel
#

to late I spaced it lol

woven comet
#

i will leave it with your expertise

spark bronze
#

depends in which language 😅

woven comet
#

spanish, mexican, what does tito mean?

spark bronze
#

aha

#

interesting

#

lol

woven comet
#

what?

#

technical tito would show my age lol

spark bronze
#

am guessing in this context, it would be "Warrior"

woven comet
#

no

spark bronze
#

Family friend 1 generation up? 😄

woven comet
#

yup

spark bronze
#

cool cool

woven comet
#

lets just say, i'm that uncle whose cool 😄

spark bronze
#

@woven comet send a pic of the main chip

woven comet
#

main chip?

spark bronze
#

The big black square thingy

woven comet
#

ok

#

MKS Base V1.4

spark bronze
#

The square chip with many legs

woven comet
#

I can take a pic of the back as its screwed in and would require some cable cleaning

spark bronze
#

Whats written on it

woven comet
#

atmega2650

#

16au 1706

spark bronze
#

Cool thanks

woven comet
#

whats that?

spark bronze
#

The type of processor

woven comet
#

ok

spark bronze
#

Needs to be crosschecked/confirmed when compiling firmware

woven comet
#

ok

mental vessel
#

there ya go buddy

woven comet
#

ok

#

I use arduinoIDE to compile and upload this

#

should be the same?

spark bronze
#

How did you upload the other one?

woven comet
#

arduino IDE, same way

mental vessel
#

the . hex is in the folder

spark bronze
#

You can also just use the .hex

#

No need to recompile

woven comet
#

so upload, no need to compile?

mental vessel
#

its already been compiled but if you wanna do it again thow it in vs code lol

woven comet
#

i'll do the upload

#

give me a few mins

spark bronze
#

Or use this:

#

For you, start watching after 2min mark

#

Board will be 2560 for you, baud 115200 and com is whatever the board is connected to

mental vessel
#

ok yell at me when it flashes im gonna lay down. if it all goes pear shaped i was never here lmoa jj/k no yell louder lol

woven comet
#

ok

mental vessel
#

OMG i won the manta m3 ez @spark bronze

spark bronze
#

Woohoo!

#

Nice! Congrats

#

Where at?

#

Lol

mental vessel
#

insta

spark bronze
#

Awesome!

woven comet
#

its downloading a few stuff

spark bronze
#

For?

woven comet
#

manta m3? what that?

#

need to finish download before it uploads

spark bronze
#

Easier

#

Just use the hex and upload directly

woven comet
#

when i opend the file, it did that

spark bronze
#

Ah ok

#

The xloader?

woven comet

#

got this error

#

could it be the naming you said you used space?

spark bronze
#

Dont recompile

#

Use the hex

#

Use the xloader tool

mental vessel
#

how did you flash it sorry lol

woven comet
#

ran arduino ide, then hit upload

mental vessel
#

cant you legit just sd card flash that

spark bronze
mental vessel
#

its made in vscode

spark bronze
#

Lol

mental vessel
#

hmmm

spark bronze
#

Either ISP or via bootloader

mental vessel
#

well the whole build is there to re compile

spark bronze
#

I usually use isp. Helps me save some flash by not having bootloader, lol

#

Arduinoide sometime has issues

#

Vscode is better

mental vessel
#

i only had to isp once

spark bronze
#

I didnt

mental vessel
#

then I was able to sd card flash

woven comet
#

how do i open the hexfile

spark bronze
woven comet
#

ok

spark bronze
#

Just use the xloader tool

woven comet
#

xloader?

spark bronze
#

Import the .hex there

spark bronze
woven comet
#

firmware.hex right?

mental vessel
#

nawaz really knows his stuff with the old stuff, he love to reuse it lol

spark bronze
spark bronze
mental vessel
#

no there all 32 bit 😛

woven comet
mental vessel
#

maybe 1- 8

spark bronze
#

Follow the video as from 2min onwards

#

You already have the hex. No need to compile

spark bronze
#

Lol

woven comet
#

ok

#

450KB file?

spark bronze
#

No, should be a few kb

mental vessel
#

the hex is 450?

woven comet
spark bronze
#

Did you extract it from the 2560.rar?

woven comet
#

nope

woven comet
#

there's atmega2650 to select

spark bronze
#

select atmega2560

woven comet
#

there's none

mental vessel
#

marlin .pio build

woven comet
#

i only get CC01 and CR03

spark bronze
#

disconnect you motherboard and see which one stays

woven comet
#

i lose com3

mental vessel
#

prob 3

woven comet
#

but still get CC01 and CR03

#

no atmega2650

mental vessel
#

com 1 is dummy

woven comet
#

driver issue?

#

doesnt see the board?

spark bronze
#

on Device, which one do you lose after disconnecting?

mental vessel
#

its in the folder marlin .pio build atmega2650

spark bronze
#

it is indeed 450kb

woven comet
#

nope, I dont lost anything

spark bronze
#

hmmm

woven comet
#

CC01 and CR03 is still there

#

could be drivers

spark bronze
#

install CH340 driver

mental vessel
#

CR03?

#

not com3?

#

jw

spark bronze
#

not com port

mental vessel
#

ahhh

woven comet
#

yes under device menu is CC01 and CR03

mental vessel
#

sorry I really dont rember flashing a board like this :/

spark bronze
#

hang on

mental vessel
#

im just watching now lol

woven comet
mental vessel
#

I have full confidence on the firmware just gotta figure out the flash

woven comet
spark bronze
#

Does arduinoIDE see your board?

woven comet
#

yes

mental vessel
#

you can upload via vs code

#

@spark bronze

woven comet
mental vessel
#

thats it

spark bronze
#

try this if it still fails to detect:

mental vessel
#

it found it on com 3

spark bronze
#

do you have VScode @woven comet ?

spark bronze
mental vessel
#

look up

woven comet
#

i can get it

mental vessel
woven comet
#

oh wait I do

spark bronze
#

dudeeee...

#

lol

mental vessel
#

isnt that the board @spark bronze

woven comet
#

i was reading this one before

narrow birch
spark bronze
#

make a new file

mental vessel
#

me?

spark bronze
#

open folder, select the 2560 folder chewy sent you

#

extract it first

mental vessel
#

nvm

woven comet
#

got it

#

got an error

spark bronze
#

ignore it

mental vessel
#

auto build marlin

spark bronze
#

wait, is that the 2560 folder?

woven comet
#

ok, fixed it

#

sorry wrong folder

#

thats the 2560 folder

spark bronze
#

ok cool

woven comet
spark bronze
#

mega2560, click upload

#

if it fails, build first the upload

#

make sure your motherboard is connected though

woven comet
#

its smoking... should it do that?

spark bronze
#

its flashing

#

whats smoking?

woven comet
#

i mean the board is smoking

spark bronze
#

the board?

#

kill power

#

NOW!

woven comet
#

done

#

power off

spark bronze
#

what was smoking?

woven comet
mental vessel
#

WTH?

woven comet

had me scared also

spark bronze
#

what the hell

#

lol

woven comet
#

ok

narrow birch
#

What!?

spark bronze
#

Flashed?

woven comet
#

the lcd on the printer says "EEPROM Index Error, intiliaze EEPROM?

spark bronze
#

yes

#

reinitialize

woven comet
#

ignore or reset

spark bronze
#

reset

#

No parts on the motherboard was smoking right?

woven comet
#

ok

#

no smoking on the motherboard

#

its safe

spark bronze
#

-_-

woven comet
#

it was a wallpaper on the laptop

spark bronze
#

got us worried for a bit there

#

lol

mental vessel
#

You legit about gave me a heart attack lol

spark bronze
#

@mental vessel what should we throw at him?

mental vessel
#

Lol

woven comet
#

forgive me

mental vessel
#

It’s ok

spark bronze
#

I have an anvil

#

or a lead acid battery

woven comet
#

i know the pressure is there, so forgive me please

spark bronze
#

lol

narrow birch
mental vessel
#

I thought I was gonna have to buy a board

spark bronze
woven comet
#

ok thats the screen now

spark bronze
mental vessel
#

I’m gonna go have a drink lol

#

Brb

woven comet
#

it flashes X 0.0/?.? y -38 / ?? Z 0/?

spark bronze
#

cmon @mental vessel . "3D printer ready"?

#

XD

mental vessel
#

😒

woven comet
#

test?

spark bronze
woven comet
#

with the sensor installed?

narrow birch
#

Was there a boot screen? I think it will show the firmware version there

mental vessel
#

I ment 😁

spark bronze
mental vessel
#

Stupid phone lol

spark bronze
#

LOL

narrow birch
woven comet
#

ok wait, have to shut it down first again as i disconnected the sensor

#

give me a bit

mental vessel
#

Ok my work is done lol

woven comet
#

grab your drinks for a minute

#

had to do some installation

mental vessel
#

I got the Red Bull open lol

woven comet
#

do i connect the sensor on the Z- port?

mental vessel
#

Follow @spark bronze he is the man with a plan lol

#

He may of yeeted out a window tho lol

#

🤣

woven comet
#

sorry about the jump scare

mental vessel
#

Lol

#

Gonna say def got us lol

#

I ain’t seen nawaz type in caps for awhile lol

#

Auto correct today turning my z to s

narrow birch
#

Thanks @mental vessel and @spark bronze

woven comet
#

ok crossing fingers

#

sensor not lighting up

#

it also tries to continue to push itself further to the left

#

when i try level bed, it keeps pushing to the left, making a lot of noise

#

the endstop is there but not stopping

#

also the SN04 sensor is not lighting up when i move close to the bed

#

it used to light up before

spark bronze
woven comet
#

sorry about the bad joke

spark bronze
woven comet
#

ok...

spark bronze
#

The smoke thing?

woven comet
#

yes

spark bronze
#

Lollll, its all good man. Haha

#

Had to go out to take care of some stuffs

#

Lol

woven comet
#

i listed all the issues after the firmware update

#

ok, sorry had a height issue, sensor is now lighting up

#

now, it keeps jerking to the left when selecting auto-home or level bed

narrow birch
#

Can you first check the SN04 is working or not? I guess it has an indicator LED on it?
Use some thick metal stuff like pliers to approach it from the bottom and see if the LED is showing any difference

woven comet
#

Its working now

narrow birch
#

Still have homing issue?

woven comet
#

the issue now is the jerking to the left

#

even with the stopper there

narrow birch
#

Whats the normal X homing direction?

woven comet
#

How do I get that?

narrow birch
#

Umm like when it was normal, the carriage moves to the left or the right side to trigger the endstop?

woven comet
#

yes

#

its 1 am here, gonna hit the sack

#

sorry, cant stay long enough

narrow birch
#

So can you show how and where the endstop is?

narrow birch
woven comet
#

X- endstopper

narrow birch
woven comet
#

Y- endstopper

woven comet
narrow birch
#

Oh you can respond tomorrow 👍 We'll continue then.

Before the new firmware, it worked

narrow birch
#

BTW it's 1a.m. here too

#

OK. Have a good night! I'll take a look of the new firmware.

woven comet
#

I'll show a video tomorrow

#

Good night also, and thanks @mental vessel and @spark bronze

mental vessel
#

Ioje sec @narrow birch lol

#

Couldn’t do it from my phone lol

woven comet
#

This is the latest update on the printer

mental vessel
#

So the motors need inverted and for the love of all that’s good don’t let them keep doing at ton lol Power when you hear th mokskee

#

But tomorrow for sure

narrow birch
# woven comet

Which motor is making that noise? Looks like the X axis did get triggered

woven comet
#

When I do the Home x, it does that noise

narrow birch
#

Yeah I guess so. Check if the bed can trigger the Y endstop

woven comet
#

It doesnt

#

I can put the stopper on the Y+ port, see if it does that

#

Looks like even doing home Z, it does the same

#

Ok, after testing again and moving the parts, looks like the noise is still happening even if it is not at the edge

narrow birch
woven comet
#

It looks like the stoppers arent doing its job

woven comet
#

I swapped the stoppers and looks like same issue, the x stepping motor keeps moving

#

My suspicion could be that the bedsize could be wrong

#

Home X Fails,
Home Y, ok
Home Z fails also

narrow birch
woven comet
#

Ok, home X fails with a noisy stepping motor. Should I check the firmware?

narrow birch
#

Can you check that the wire connections are correct and the micro switch is working?

woven comet
#

I swapped some of the wiring and same issue happens

#

I swapped the X+ and X-, same issue

narrow birch
#

So the issue is on the X axis now because you swapped the X and Y endstops?

woven comet
#

No

#

I swapped the actual endstop to check if the its an endstop issue?

narrow birch
#

Then maybe the microswitch(or it's wire) is broken

woven comet
#

it was working before, nothings change other than firmware

#

i'm setting the Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING true and Z_MAX_ENDSTOP_INVERTING true and also X_MAX_ENDSTOP_INVERTING true

#

Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP_INVERTING true

#

// Mechanical endstop with COM to ground and NC to Signal uses "false" here (most common setup).
#define X_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING true // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
#define Y_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING true // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
#if ANY(BLTOUCH, INDUCTIVE_NC)
#define Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING false // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
#else
#define Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING true // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
#endif
#define I_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING false // Set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
#define J_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING false // Set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
#define K_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING false // Set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
#define X_MAX_ENDSTOP_INVERTING true // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
#define Y_MAX_ENDSTOP_INVERTING false // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
#define Z_MAX_ENDSTOP_INVERTING true // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
#define I_MAX_ENDSTOP_INVERTING false // Set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
#define J_MAX_ENDSTOP_INVERTING false // Set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
#define K_MAX_ENDSTOP_INVERTING false // Set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
#if ANY(SN04, INDUCTIVE_NO, SERVO_PROBE, NOZZLE_PROBE)
#define Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP_INVERTING true // set to true to invert the logic of the probe.
#else
#define Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP_INVERTING true // set to true to invert the logic of the probe.
#endif

#

just uploaded and compiled, regardless, same issue

woven comet
#

any assistance?

#

one thing is for certain, the endstops are not working

woven comet
#

i'm out of ideas at this point

woven comet
#

another thing i noticed is when i do Home Z, it goes up, shouldn't it be going done?

narrow birch
#

You can flash the old firmware to see if it's working again

woven comet
#

how do i restore to the old firmware?

woven comet
#

this is bad. regardless if I go back to the old firmware, replace the endstop, nothing is working

#

this has become the largest paper weight at my desk

#

the sad part is that it was working before and by just adding this sensor, everything went downhill

#

this is now adding to my depression

#

i lost a wonderful gift T_T

narrow birch
woven comet
#

done

#

same issue

#

sorry, i'm really out of options

i worry bricking the machine

narrow birch
woven comet
#

i can try tomorrow, i'm travelling home at the moment

woven comet
#

apologies but i dont understand how to go back to old firmware. same issue, still jerking to the far left

#

i reset the eeprom

mental vessel
#

I’m waiting on the last persons I need to deal with this week end I’ll work on this this afternoon

woven comet
#

no worries

#

just giving update on what i have tried so far

#

i tried swapping all x+ and x-, got a new endstop, same issue

#

still jerking to the left, installed a fresh download of the easyconfig 2.0.x, flashed, same issue

mental vessel
#

Have you watched/ read anything about your inductive probe? And have you checked that your endstop is actually working. Check for continuity on the lines of the end stop beep when the switch is pressed? Left is the proper way go home to

woven comet
#

thinking of removing the probe already

#

as this is the start of all my issues 😦

mental vessel
#

That honestly would be helpful

#

Do you have a z end stop?

woven comet
#

but even with that removed, the jerking is still there

#

i have 3 endstop

#

i can install the 3rd again for the Z

mental vessel
#

Are they all plugged in?

woven comet
#

yes

mental vessel
#

Ok l

woven comet
#

i tried unplugging all, and just plugging the endstop on the extruder

#

but no hope

#

i did test the Y endstop, works, no issues

mental vessel
#

I’ve gotta run but I’ll be back in a bit

woven comet
#

its the X that is now having this issue

#

no worries

mental vessel
#

Don’t give up

#

It’s all there just needs the right boxes ticked

woven comet
#

yup

#

i think that it is the issue but even with a vanilla jim brown firmware, it is not working

i installed the firmware that Nawas last built

#

i tried to reset the eeprom but it looks like its hardcoded and wont let me make changes

#

i also noticed, when pressing Y+, the bed is moving towards me, instead of away from me

#

i'm pressing the Y+ there and it is moving towards me, this is assuming y- is where I am seated/facing

mental vessel
#

Invert y axis. It will go the correct way then, install the z end stop? Checks it’s going correct direction, same with z . Take video of it jerk if it still is. You can cross Marlin build files , go thru old config and transfer old into new Marlin config file , compile it with auto build Marlin in vs code https://youtu.be/EerWIATEsM0 DO NOT USE WIN TXT EDITIR TO OPEN AND MARLIN BUILD FILE! use notepad++ . 2 hr meeting became a 8 hr I’m in way to mil house Post your update on the morning you gettin super jus need go home correctly and extrude in correct way

so I cant go back to early fimrware

#

I'm going to install the Z endstop

#

also, for your reference if you wish to see the printer

woven comet
#

OH>>> M>>> GAWD!!!!

woven comet
#

What did you guys do?

#

Ok, new issue:

#

That is when I try to go to configuration, set home offsets

#

ok: long story short, decided to dismantle the entire kit. I found some of the wirings and weldings on the endstops are not perfect. i resoldered them and we are now at this point

#

I noticed also when setting auto home, x and y is 92, while z is 2

#

its far from the bed, is that normal?

#

i also set bed leveling to on, but it does a loop when checking the bed level.

#

i tried level bed, it did this probing point: 3/9 but stops there. its not 9/9, i assume its a setting I saw with 3

#

#define GRID_POINTS 3

#

should i set it to 9?

#

gonna try for a test print see if I can print something

woven comet
woven comet
#

ok, another bit i noticed, is that when printing, it homes on the center, which causes some filament to be in the middle which will affect the print. can i add a custom gcode on my slicer to prevent that?

woven comet
#

Print failed. It keeps heat creeping

#

after this print, it looks like the Z axis is now pushing it self further down

#

which makes the filament clog the printer

mental vessel
#

You gotta set the z offset now

#

That will tell the board that the place where the probe hits is this far from the nozzle

#

You want to home z in the center of the bed

#

It’s for safety

#

Of the probe misses the induction of the metal it will keep going down

#

I really dis like induction probes

#

Tbere effected by heat ALOT

#

Is you ram spinning freely and smooth for the hot end cooler?

#

What kinda hot end is on it?

#

See you are a pro now gonna know that printer inside and out 🙂

woven comet
woven comet
mental vessel
#

Take a pic of it

#

Amazon hot end and compare lol

#

I’ll id for ya

woven comet
#

when you meant hot end, you meant the extruder tip?

mental vessel
#

🤓

#

Woops lol

woven comet
#

its a .4mm tip

#

sorry, some of the tech lingo is new to me

mental vessel
#

No higher

woven comet
#

the one with the heat sink?\

mental vessel
#

It between the Bowden tube and the nozzle

woven comet
#

or the one that heats up to melt the pla

mental vessel
#

Yup

#

Yes sir

woven comet
#

wait

mental vessel
#

Kk

#

Standing by

woven comet
#

i think this is the printer

#

its the exact product

#

difference thou is that my bed is a bit longer

mental vessel
#

Ya not it’s likely not to have the stock one It’s look exact same

#

No jus T the item in question

woven comet
#

like A4 size

mental vessel
#

One sec

#

Sorry starting a difficult print and I have to restart it 😅

#

Ok behind the fam there will be something that look like this not may be different shaped take a pic it if

#

There are hundred so models of hot ends so I wanna visually confirm it’s model

mental vessel
#

Spin the fan by hand slowly and see if you feel anything out of the ordinary

#

Check for wobble to I wonted if the hot end cooling fan is jus T starting to not work as well

#

Tag me when you are back up to it l!

woven comet
#

will this solve the heat creep?

#

i'm thinking of dismantling it tomorrow and then clean it manually

#

i saw a vid how to clean it

mental vessel
#

Yes if the fan don’t cool the block it will make the filament melt to soon

woven comet
#

or should i just replace the thing?

mental vessel
#

No not really need

woven comet
#

i did a bed test print and so far it worked ok

#

its just that when i print the scraper, it does that heat creep most of the time

mental vessel
#

Maybe the fan but the hot end is likely fine

woven comet
#

ok

#

i will try to check tomorrow

woven comet
#

it stopped feeding filament which ended that way

#

i could hear the filament feeder clicking since the filament wont push

mental vessel
#

Oh that’s not heat creep That either loss oh step or not being stuck to the bed

#

Heat creap clogs the hot end

#

Ya ok your gonna need to pull it apart It’s really simple and check everything

#

It’s for the best anyway

#

Clicking is the extruder skipping

#

We will assess tomorrow Get some rest

woven comet
#

from my experience, the clicking happens when the filament is jammed up the extruder end

mental vessel
#

What time zone you in

woven comet
#

yeah. thanks for the help

#

almost there

#

GMT+8 btw

mental vessel
#

Almost

#

Kk

#

-5 here

woven comet
#

of wow

#

EST?

mental vessel
#

Ya Least we can plan to time lol

spark bronze
woven comet
#

Didnt dismantle, just cleaned the nozzle and tried a bed test print. After setting z probe to -.5, this is the result so far

mental vessel
#

Good bad it’s hard to see via camera and not high light

woven comet
#

Yeah

#

I have to dismantle this now but I'm in the middle of my shift

mental vessel
woven comet
#

Yup

#

Still that heat creep

mental vessel
#

ok

woven comet
#

When is this explicit content?

#

How do i push this back?

#

It became out of its original place

spark bronze
#

It's advisable to change the ptfe tube at this point

#

Or atleast turn it over

woven comet
#

Yeah, but gotta secure funds

#

It'll be next month before i could buy

#

the tubing is showing its age, i think i need to replace it sooner than i could

#

also, i tested all fans, all fans are working

woven comet
#

well hose is gone

#

so gonna have to wait for a month before i can replace it

spark bronze
#

Flip it over

#

Use the extruder side in the hotend and viceversa

woven comet
#

there's a section thats already clogged

#

can i cut that instead but will shorten the cable

spark bronze
#

Yes, you can cut a short length

#

As long as the tube does not become tight when the hotend is at its furthest

woven comet
#

ok

#

done

#

whats a good replacement hotend kit for this?

#

single filament as much

#

upgrading to two may give me a headache early

#

i want to take it slow at least

#

still heat creeping

mental vessel
#

Ok so when your taking all this apart leave the hot part attached to them back part of the machine and. Your gonna want to pull the the tube out of the hot end by depressing the ring around it and while holding down pull up on the tube. You may need to preheat the system a for a moment , careful they can get hot extremely hot! . Then kill the heat pull the tube and take pics

mental vessel
woven comet
#

yup got it

#

i also found out something

#

I'm using PLA which has 205-225 heat range

mental vessel
#

Than I’d advise to just grab a pack of 4010 fans or whatever was there and just swap them out. Remeber quality fans are not the cheapest cans also! Make sure to clean out everything inside the hot end as well!

woven comet
#

i was melting too much it and fast that the extruder cant keep up

#

when i set the nozzle heat to 200, the print went a bit further

mental vessel
#

200 is a low end print temp for pla

woven comet
mental vessel
#

I run mine at 215-235

woven comet
#

Almost getting there. Thinking of going 205 as recommended or 210

#

See if it did better

#

This is a failed print and from looks of it, it got farther

mental vessel
#

I mean I still wouldn’t say that’s high quality print but it’s better than we have see so far lol

woven comet
#

But i need to set the z probe back to -.5 as the end tip is not flat

mental vessel
#

You can always slow the speed and up the temp for better quality

woven comet
woven comet
#

Can you share your prusa printer settings?

mental vessel
#

Ya z offset is extremely important to how the print sticks to the bed

mental vessel
woven comet
#

This supposed to be a scalper

woven comet
mental vessel
#

Ahhh sorry I haven’t used Prusa in a long time but I can give you basic produce :/

woven comet
#

Quick comparison, the one on the left looks better

woven comet
mental vessel
#

Stand by I need to get out of bed and turn my pc on

woven comet
#

No rush

#

Tomorrow's another day

#

This is way more progress than I can ever imagine

mental vessel
#

It’s ok it’s noon I prob should be getting going lol

woven comet
#

I'm more excited and happier with the results now

woven comet
mental vessel
#

Ya I when you go to sleep at 4-5 am man noon come like a rocket lol

woven comet
#

lol

#

now its trying to find that perfect chemistry of heat, temperature and patience

mental vessel
#

Now make you understand, I have a well tuned printer that can print at a speeds that that printer will never be able to see on the best day. First later 220 the rest 215 And 60 on the bed

woven comet
#

btw, how do you join the give away?

#

ok got it

mental vessel
#

Throw the time and temp out the window and fill up on patients cause that’s the 100% most important one!

woven comet
#

so make the printer hot first then cool down

#

well, it got me here, so patience more and something good comes

#

btw, how do i join the contest again?

#

and i think its random so not sure my chances

mental vessel
woven comet
#

thats fast

mental vessel
mental vessel
woven comet
#

mid speed?

#

wow

#

also your bed looks like its glass already

woven comet
mental vessel
#

Not my printer but a friends printer getting it decently looks more like this. Now don’t benchmark against this. It’s not practical or quality at the end of the day but it shows once you get it tuned in you can make them print a lot faster

woven comet
#

i mean the printer is like 2 months old so i think i will get there eventually in due time

mental vessel
#

Oh ya it hasn’t opened this week yet

mental vessel
#

That’s a print good but print slow machine

woven comet
#

i'm ok with slow

mental vessel
#

If you see north of 70mm/s your looking good

woven comet
#

for now, i mean my goal first is to improve on my printing

mental vessel
#

Ya print well first

woven comet
#

if all goes well, the wife is ok for me getting a resin printer, guaranteed the budget is there

mental vessel
#

Learn to walk before you get in the rocket ship lol

woven comet
#

correct

#

for what i am doing, the resin printer is more of the end goal

mental vessel
#

Nooo slow that idea right in down! Learn fdm first. You got enough on your plate and resin printing can be harmful. Give you a chance to learn about it first before you buy one

woven comet
#

ok

mental vessel
#

Well I’m gonna get to moving and grab some food, if you need a anything just ping me I’ll be around lol

#

Best of luck getting it all tuned in 🙂

woven comet
#

thanks again

#

thanks

mental vessel
#

Your welcome

woven comet
#

This is odd. My print is off

spark bronze
#

Did you check your belt tension?

#

It seem loose in your video

woven comet
#

Ok, will adjust that

woven comet
#

Progress!

#

So far so good, just need to get best chemistry of pla heat

woven comet
#

My sincere thanks to @spark bronze , @mental vessel @narrow birch for getting me at to this level. So far, I've been printing part after part and happy with the results but will be sure to improve more

#

Thank you again!

spark bronze
#

You're welcome! Happy printing

#

Yeah, we never stop trying to improve things 😁

narrow birch
mental vessel
#

Yup just remember one day down the road to try and help someone else out. So the hobby is ever growing 🙂 Have fun and enjoy the journey:)

woven comet
#

Out of curiosity, is it possible to power the raspberry with the same powersupply used by the printer?

narrow birch
woven comet
#

This what happens now, when printing this, I have to change the z offset every now and then as the extruder is too close to the printed item. Is there something i need to adjust?
