Re: Thermistor Issues

After further checking, my bed temp is -5 C and when I try and heat it up I get a min temp warning. I measured the thermistor resistance right at the mother board and it is fine, at 110k ohms. I have a spare bed that I plugged into the mother board and I am having the same issues. I am beginning to ...

Thermistor Issues

I haven't played with my printer much in the last couple of weeks as I was prepping to covert from the stock extruder to a bowden extruder. I finally got everything done with my mod and plugged in the new extruder/thermistor combo and the extruder temp is reading 88 on the LCD with the extruder bein...

Re: Display Died

I ordered the display Thursday about 6 pm CST and had it in the mail the next day, even with amazon prime 2 day shipping. I had to modify my connectors onto the display as the keying was upside down. Once I did that the display worked great. I also bought a full graphics display that I want to try o...

Printing from SD Card on LCD Display

With my 3DP-11-ATL I am able to print from the SD card when the card is inserted onto the controller, but when I try to insert the card into the LCD display and print from there, it won't print. Any ideas? I have looked through the firmware and it appears I have it set up to read the SD card from th...

Display Died

The display on my HICTOP 3DP-11-ATL died after it fell once. I have tried to fix it, but all I see are random lines on the display. If I order a replacement from HICTOP it will take a couple of weeks to get here. It appears I can purchase replacements not from HICTOP, but does anyone have any recomm...

Re: manual MESH_BED_LEVELING howto?

Okay, got it. It is this #define Z_CLEARANCE_DEPLOY_PROBE 0 // Z Clearance for Deploy/Stow #define Z_CLEARANCE_BETWEEN_PROBES 0 // Z Clearance between probe points The Z_CLEARANCE_DEPLOY_PROBE value needs to be such that the z axis raises so the sensor doesn't trigger when when taking a reading. The...

Re: manual MESH_BED_LEVELING howto?

I do a G28, then G29 and it use to raise and lower at each grid point, but now my firmware no longer does that. I am not sure why. Could this by why? #define Z_CLEARANCE_DEPLOY_PROBE 0 // Z Clearance for Deploy/Stow #define Z_CLEARANCE_BETWEEN_PROBES 0 // Z Clearance between probe points // For M851...

Re: manual MESH_BED_LEVELING howto?

Question on bed leveling. What is the action that happens at the printer when a bilinear bed leveling is performed? I had one version of firmware that probed up and down in a grid pattern, but it was an 8x8 grid, even when in the firmware I had it being a 4x4. I made other changes to my firmware tha...

Re: Updating Stock HICTOP 3DP-11-ATL to Latest Marlin and Changing Bed Leveling Sensor

Thanks for all the help. I have spent a lot of time this week really diving into how the firmware works. I was able to get the firmware working with the stock inductive sensor and then installed the mini IR differential sensor. It took a bit of tuning and tweaking, but I love the IR sensor. It allow...

Re: Updating Stock HICTOP 3DP-11-ATL to Latest Marlin and Changing Bed Leveling Sensor

Where in the code is the definition around homing? I can't find what file the sequence is in. In my previous firmware, the homing went to x_min, then y_min, then z_min then to the center of the build plate. In the 1.1.5 version the z_min is done after centering the build plate. I am just curious whe...

Re: Updating Stock HICTOP 3DP-11-ATL to Latest Marlin and Changing Bed Leveling Sensor

I was able to download your file and test it out with the stock inductive sensor. I made some tweaks to it based off the .rar file I got above, but in the end, it seems to be working just great. Thanks for the help. Now to play with getting my IR differential sensor working. Once I get it working wi...

Re: Updating Stock HICTOP 3DP-11-ATL to Latest Marlin and Changing Bed Leveling Sensor

Thanks. I will give this a try tomorrow. I have the threaded rod in my setup so will need to figure change that piece, but other than that, I should be good to go and I will let you know how it works out.
