Re: Blown capacitor at PSU... its called "power-smoke"

And it works! 8-) here's a picture of the original PSU http://nimetonsarpyc6mm.onion/.media/8940911e91ed93c58d540ae5ec3df260-imagejpeg.jpg with replaced parts minus the cover since these capacitors are too high for it but luckily finding more suitable voltage ratings(rated for more voltage = more ...

Re: Blown capacitor at PSU... its called "power-smoke"

i'm now 99.9% sure that one of those little drivers is the culprit of this not-moving action since switching them around moved the problem to another motor. Found one spot that looked like badly soldered and i could almost swear that the motor jerked after applying solder but no such luck today ...

Re: Blown capacitor at PSU... its called "power-smoke"

Using PC PSU that can deliver 25A at 12V did not do the trick.. some tinkering is need3d since extruder does not have enough power but keeps skipping steps while pushing filament and while doing a test print the machine bizarrely "reads" X-axis movement while not moving its stepper :shock:

I could ...

Re: Blown capacitor at PSU... its called "power-smoke"

Any advice is always deeply appreciated!
Like i said, this is my first time :oops: ;) and i love tinkering so this is no biggie !

Re: Blown capacitor at PSU... its called "power-smoke"

What you say is perfectly in line with reality :D
There is nothing more embarrassing than burning out ones PSU with incorrect wiring ;) but i must remind you that i had the machine "printing" a test piece -extruder didn`t push out molten ABS cause ill installed filament and X-axis didn't move cause ...

Blown capacitor at PSU... its called "power-smoke"

Greeting to all you fellow tinkerers!
This is my first dive into 3D printing world and it has been great! Every _single_ part was either labeled or numbered and they fit together really nicely! And there i was thinking of "normal" DIY-quality while ordering :D

Even after this smoky experience im ...
