sorry i was under the impression you had an ir thermometer
-
@Veti I have one of these
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01AT9TON0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So heat in the oven and then if it measures 220 check resistance. Sorry if I'm been dense
-
unless you have an all metal hotend, go for 200
let it stay at that for a min or so and measure the temperature on the nozzle with the ir thermometer.
-
need to set the correct emissivity for the nozzle to get an reasonably accurate reading, but by the looks of it thats likely to be less accurate then just picking a beta value

Small update. I had a bit of time and I wanted to just test a few things. I decided to run the bed heater with the 'default' setting from the config tool. This is what I started with.

It gave me this override and I added the M501 to the end of my config

I disconnected the bed and decided to see what the hotend was reporting. I've removed the hot end part of the carriage from the printer. I connected the heater and sensors to the E0 connections. For these purposes I have used Dupont wires, with bootlace and other supplied connector. Upon starting the board up I got this error.
Error: Temperature reading fault on heater 0: sensor open circuit
I've searched the error and it seems to tell me that there is no connection, there are reports of blown fuses but I don't believe that to be the issue. I have checked for resistance across the connections and it seems there's a connection.
I've now left it as I don't want to do any damage. Any advice on what I need to check? Thanks.

I've already realised my mistake! I connected to the wrong part of the board. I used E0 Heat when I should use E0 Temp!
I'll leave the other post up as it's what I've been doing and also may serve as a lesson to others....

M308 S1 P"e0temp" Y"thermistor" T137000 B3478 ; configure sensor 1 as thermistor on pin e0temp
i suggest you try the most common ones for the thermistors.
thats B 3950
epocs 100k
semitec 104-gt2your settings seems very wrong.
-
@Veti Thanks. I'm thinking the easiest thing would be to buy two new thermistors for the hot end. Could you recommend ones available on amazon uk? I do have the offer of a k type thermocouple meter from a friend.
I think the bed seems to behave and I doubt I'll need to go above 60c so I'm less concerned about that.
Tonight I hope to look at the servo and probe. I intend to add a microswitch and use that as the X stop so the probe has a single purpose.
-
not amazon but e3d

https://e3d-online.com/products/fibreglass-sleeving-for-insulating-thermistors-100mm?_pos=11&_sid=d490c2b6e&_ss=rbut we dont know if it will fit, because of the black gunk we cant see a thing
-
@Veti Thanks. I'll look at E3D. If I take one of the hot ends apart would that be the way to go? I take when buying the thermistor I'd also need some kind of sleeve and is there a thermal paste of some nature? I've never built a hot end so it's new to me.
-
the sleeve i linked
however the hotend is different from most other hotends so you will have to see how to fix it
maybe you could also mount a standard e3d block on there.
-
@Veti Sorry, I overlooked the 2nd link.
I did wonder about that. I'm going to take one apart and have a closer look.

Regarding the servo deployed probe. I'm looking for guidance or examples of how this is done. I'm looking a the guides and I cannot immediately see how I approach this.
This is the servo
https://emaxmodel.com/products/emax-es08ma-ii-12g-mini-metal-gear-analog-servo-for-rc-model-robot-pwm-servoSeems it needs 5v to power it. There are the three wires to power and deploy it. I then have the 2 for the microswitch to probe the bed level. My thought is I connect the servo to the Z probe on the board but do I then need to use an endstop to connect the probe switch? Could I use the +3.3v and Z Probe in for the switch? Thanks.
This looks a viable solution to me
-
I've been trying to get the probe working but for now I have decided to set my config with no z probe and use the manual option. Upon doing this I notice that when clicking to move the bed +25 it's not actually moving this distance.
My bed is on a lead screw which is connected to the stepper via a small belt. The mechanics of this are underneath the printer which will mean taking bit apart. Is there a way I can work out what I need to change to make this correct? Thanks.
-
can you post a picture of the belt assembly?
and you can wire the servo to the z probe connector.
use zprobe.mod for the servo signal line. just like for a bltouch.
-
X Axis
Y Axis - 2 belts and then a small belt to the stepper
Z Axis - There must be a belt under the black base. I'll have to dismantle it to check.
servo and probe wired up. Think this is right although the servo now doesn't respond. Temp wiring...
-
how is the motor connected to the lead screw? post a picture of that.
also you need to work out the pitch of the leadscrew.
-
@Veti I believe its a belt as that would be logical but I willhave to take the base off the printer as it's under the base I believe. Seems I can't avoid it?
-
well if its 1:1 transmition then no
so work out the pitch of the leadscrew and use this to calculate the steps

https://blog.prusaprinters.org/calculator_3416/Thanks. I would think it is. Pitch looks to be 2mm. Stepper is 1.8 degrees from the spec sheet. stepper at x16 so I think we're looking at 1600 for the Z
