Newbie: New Install on Ender 5 Plus---Willing to PAY$$$

shatty

@Veti Thats because I hit stop

Not the motors are moving away from endstops with hitting the positive values. Z still fighting each other. They are in series config because there are 2 on 1 driver

shatty

Paneldue5i is connected with ribbon cable only. How can it be wrong?

that mean you have to reverse the wiring of one of your stepper motors

shatty

@Veti
OK. TY. Hopefully I can gain progress now.

@shatty

Z wired right. Only thing is...small little problem....THE WIRE IS CUT!!! THRU 3 OF THE 4 WIRES ON ONE OF THE Z STEPPERS!!!!!

shatty

Luckily MicroCenter doesnt sell them. F me. They sell a bunch of Creality replacement parts. 10 min from me. Amazon it is. Ugh

I could repair it but its a new machine and i dont want to.

Veti

@shatty

where is the wire cut?

shatty

@Veti Dead center LOL.

I wish they has a motor upgrade pack for this printer instead of buying them individually. I want .9 motors

I can have the new wires here by tomorrow, Sunday

shatty

Also, anyway of using the stock screen with the new Beta RR firmware? I saw it now supports 2 other screens. I dont know what chipset the stock screen has

Veti

do you have Heat-shrink tubing? or a solder iron.
fixing cut wiring is not that difficult

Yes of course....Im in IT.

I would rather buy new cables with the 4 pin already on them.

shatty

They also have jacketed wire but not terminated. Better protection.

shatty

Im just gunna repair it. Not in the mood to change shit around. Let u know what happens tom night. Thanks for the help

shatty

Well guess what...............HOMING WORKS!!!! Went to the endstops and stopped! Question...Z axis...positive value is up or down? Z positive and the bed moves down. I have a feeling its supposed to be reversed. I repaired the wire on one of the Z stepper wires.

shatty

And the BLT is making the bed stop moving up so that works. Now I guess I have to do a test print and adjust the distance from the nozzle to the bed, make sure the BLT is working on leveling, extruder speed, and manual bed leveling before I use the BLT

when the bed is at the bltouch trigger that is z=0 the further the bed moves away from the bltouch, z increases.
so for the ender 5 plus i think going down is positive

OK so its correct then. Whats my next step? BLT distance ? Extruder motor speed and stuff? I have a Micro Swiss direct drive all metal installed. I was reading the directions and they said 1 or 2 things have to be changed. As far as leveling, manual first then use the BLT? I guess use the wheel adjustments in each corner? How do I know when its correct? Should I use a level? Any way for the machine to tell me?

@shatty

yes calibrate the z probe.

then do a mesh bed leveling and look at the bed. (post a picture)

then calibrate your e steps

then pid tune your bed and hotend.

then print a benchy and asses.

All the steppers are quiet except the 2 Zs. Normal?
