Re: Haywire X axis

They're all where they're supposed to be, I've triple checked all my connections.

Haywire X axis

I had to return the Rambo board on my Rostock Max V2 last week as there was something wrong with it that made the card reader not register. When I received the new one yesterday and plugged it into the machine, everything worked great, the extruder and bed heated up, the axis all homed correctly, an...

Re: Unstable thermistor readings/values from RAMBo 1.3

I have my max temp set to 300* and the heater block wrapped in Kapton which did stabilize the readings a bit, but they're still inconsistent. Mind linking to the tape you're using? I do also have a support ticket open and I've linked them to this thread, they're sending me a new LCD screen and adapt...

Re: Unstable thermistor readings/values from RAMBo 1.3

I did actually play with PID tuning with the display on and off this weekend, the numbers it generated with the display connected could be as much as +/- 20 for the D value, +/- 5 for P and +/- 2 for I. Once I unplugged it, all the readings were much more consistent, with the biggest range at D bein...

Re: Unstable thermistor readings/values from RAMBo 1.3

I'm having nearly an identical problem with my Rostock, the temperatures are pretty stable when everything is powered down but can fluctuate as much as +/- 8 degrees when running, regardless of how many times I tune it. My SD card reader is also giving me all sorts of problems, I'll be watching this...

Re: SD card shenanigans

I actually tried hooking in another of the same LCD screen that I have running my second printer to the same effect, and I think it's pretty unlikely that both LCDs would have the same issue, making me think it's a wiring problem. I don't have a second harness to test with, so I'm not sure about tha...

Re: SD card shenanigans

Bought two different types of 4gb San Disks today, neither work. They will show up on the LCD that they're been inserted, then just reboot the machine over and over again. How can I tell if a card has the spi sd protocol?

Re: SD card shenanigans

I've now tried 5 different cards, all with different speeds and sizes, all the way down to a 2gb card, not a single one works. I did get the 2gb card to read once, but it wouldn't print a file off of it, it just actually displayed in the menu correctly one time, but never again. I'm at a loss, somet...

Re: SD card shenanigans

No they where all different brands, is there a specific brand I should be looking for? I haven't been able to find any cards smaller then 8gb but I could order a smaller one if necessary.

SD card shenanigans

So I'm having a problem with the SD card slot on my Rostock Max v2. I've done research on the forums before posting this thread, and while others have had similar problems, none of their solutions have worked for me. I also don't know if I'm doing things in the right order or not, as there's nothing...

Re: Inconsistent hotend temp, Auto PID failure

It is outputting lines the entire time, yes. I got it to complete a full tune finally by starting at 205 and inputting those values, then 225, 245 and finally 255. I still have the same problem though. The Hexagon was ~$50 and the reviews on it were in line with those of the E3D, and being that the ...

Inconsistent hotend temp, Auto PID failure

So I just got a Rostock Max v2 and right away upgraded the hotend to one of the Hexagon models, as most of my prints are in PETG and need to be at 260*. It's giving me a weird issue though, I'll tell it to heat up to 255* and it will reach that temp just fine, but it won't hold it accurately, it con...
