Z - 19.99
X - 20.03
Y - 20.08

Pretty happy with that result, still waiting to do the upgrades as the parts haven't arrived from the slow boat yet but I will do them once they arrive.

Thanks for the information I will give this a go tomorrow when I am more awake.

I know that you are not meant to use lubricant on the rods if using drylin solid linear bearings bust as a test I wiped some WD40 over the rods and slowed the print down to 90% speed using the control panel and it printed the test cube almost perfect, which leads me to now believe that the linear ro...

The layer shifting is on the Y Axis I have tried to get the linear rods as smooth as possible. I wouldn't mind but it will print beautifully for a whole 3 hour print then it starts to play about. I might just have to suck it up and buy new rods as they were the original ones.

I did try to do that but then I couldn't get the z axis threaded rods back into the coupling even with the grub screws backed all the way out.

I was just printing another handle out and it started layer stepping again

Well good news I have the printer working thanks to you and it is the best I have ever seen it print out. I just need to learn how to dial it in a bit better so that the 20x20x20 calibration cube is closer to those dimensions. I also did a longer print and it was just as nice. Just a bit of blobbing...

Thanks for the link for the information. I am going to change out the bed bearings for proper SKF ones and also change all of the belts and pulleys just to be sure. I have also bought some belt tensioner springs to see if that will help with getting the tensions right. If after changing all of these...

When the motors are engaged I cannot move them which makes me believe that the belts are tight enough and not slipping and that the motors are holding ok.

Here are the 2 photos that you requested.

Checked all the voltages which were X 0.88 Y 0.88 Z 1.2 E0 0.86 E1 0.89 I have set the voltages to what they were meant to be and set the Z to 1.07 as the video said 1 - 1.1 I also re-tensioned the Y - Axis belt just to be double sure that it was tight enough and checked all the drive cogs were defi...

Mine have the golden motors and the website doesn't show the exact model numbers and I am glad that you gave me the information as the ones that have the same model number and manufacturer on Ali Express show the voltages to be ● Number of phase：2 ● Step Angle：1.8° ● Holding Torque：400mN.m ● Rated v...

Thank you very much for the files I changed the z-stop and then complied it and it seems to be working but when I am printing the stepper motors seem to be able to get overloaded and stop causing the print to start stepping almost the same as a belt slipping but I know it is not the belts as the ten...

I have all the original mechanical end-stop switches in the original places at the moment. I don't have a filament run-out sensor, as for the all thread lead-screws that I have installed I measured between the threads using a digital vernier caliper and it was 2mm and it has 4 threads. The specifica...

I couldn't help myself and started to rebuild as much as I can whilst waiting for the other parts to arrive and makesure that everything is squared up correctly. Replaced all the bearings with Drylin bearings apart from the new z-axis ones. Is it possible to load your marlin firmware with the SN04 s...

Thanks for the link and for the advice on everything, I think I will try the module and hope it does what it is meant to. I am trying to read up on how to do the fine tuning but I don't really understand it very well at the moment. I will continue to try and learn as much as I can whilst waiting for...

Cool I should have some of them from my rc parts, I am just waiting on all the parts to arrive that I have ordered then I will start the full rebuild. Thought it might be a good idea to change out all of the bearings whilst I am having to take it all apart and do the 4th bearing on the bed carriage ...
