And it is easy to see why that is happening. When calibrating the nozzle height with the spring installed, I got considerably larger values for the z-offset than without it. This is when I noticed that the spring approach might not work after all. Fortunately it stuck on the left side and the print was finished and produced a usable (albeit lightly skewed) spring. This reduced the adhesion and the raft peeled off on the right side of the print. The z-axis could not reach the position it wanted to and the first layer was extruded at a too high position. I forgot to remove nr 3 before starting the print of nr 4. While printing nr 4, it also became obvious why this parameter had to be tuned: It took me until iteration 4 to get the height just about right. The nozzle could no longer reach the build plate. The first iteration already seemed promising, but it was too high. So I designed a plastic spring in Fusion 360 and got printing:

The spring would probably not be able to stop the thing completely before the nozzle touches the build plate if the z-axis fell from the top position, but a decelerated impact would be better than a full speed one. In normal operation, the z-axis would push the spring down to build the first centimetre of the prints. My first idea was to print some sort of spring mechanism that would catch the y-axis when it comes crashing down. Also it is much more fun to design your own solution.

I would like to avoid any manual locking or unlocking. When the z-axis is locked, it needs to be released manually when one wants to start a new print. This is done either manually or when the z-axis reaches a certain height. It is for wired ethernet connection and will cause CPU to not boot up if enabled.There are already a few designs out there that deal with this problem, but they usually just lock the z-axis completely. Note: Because the wifi module talks to the CPU via UART please make sure the Baud rate are the same at the CPU config and the ESP3D config, otherwise it will interfere with the comms channel and cause halt during print.ĭo not activate network option in the CPU config file. the wifi module will fall back to access point mode if connection failed.Īccessing the web GUI by typing the assigned IP address by your router, or use or whatever you set under 'Hostname' Reset the printer should activate the new mode. to do this enter the ESP3D setup page from the top tab and change wifi ode to Client Station, click set.Ĭlick the magnifying glass to select your home network and enter your password. You can set the wifi module to connect to your own network. Open a web browser, it should redirect you to the main web GUI, it failed access the web GUI using from the address bar.

The wifi version has a ESP8266 module onboard, the module is preprogrammed with ESP3D courtesy of Luc. Please change the 'alpha_dir_pin', 'beta_dir_pin', or 'gamma_dir_pin' value to include or remove the '!' after the pin number.

IMPORTANT: If the extruder is not homing towards the end switch. NOTE: when using repetier-host please use ping-pong communication setting to ensure a valid ACK is received for each command.

Using any GCODE capable software send 'G28 X' or 'G28 Y' to home your axis, this will move the extruder towards the end stop. Next time after you home the z axis if you send G1 Z0 F2000 will move your extruder to the print surface. The result will be your actual Z height and this will be your new gamma_max value.Ĭhange the config gamma_max value and restart the printer. When you have got the extruder to just touch your print bed, using the gamma_max value subtract the Z value you just entered. Move the z axis so that the extruder just about half way to the print surface using 'G1 Z100 F2000', then work your way down to the print surface by lowering the Z value. Send 'G90' to tell your printer to use absolute position. (WARNING: if the extruder is not moving towards the end switch switch off the printer immediately) The z position is now the value defined in your config file setting 'gamma_max'. Using any GCODE capable software send 'G28 Z' to home your Z axis, this will move the extruder to the maximum height end stop.
