Prusa i3 with Sanguinololu 1.3 not running
Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2014 8:13 pm
Hi.
I got your printer through other Chinese wholesale site couple weeks ago and finally got it all hooked up after few parts missing from kit.
Tried to run it yesterday but motors wouldn't spin only either making buzzing noise or jumping back and forth a little.
After some research I found out I should check the Vref on drives but that was set to 0.8V and didn't do any difference to change them.
Then I found out I should have 3 jumpers installed under each drive but that wasn't included in my kit also so after I did find 3 at home and was trying one by one to make it to run they still not working as they should.
Only one that I was able to make run smoothly are 2 motors on Z axis.
The other motors will somehow run after adjusting motor drives but they are not smooth.
They will spin but their RPM is bouncy and goes up and down and even stop for a second during single move from one side to the other.
Even took motors out to make sure belts are not too tight but that didn’t help either.
Now I don’t know what to do next.
Need some help.
Thanks
