    z-endstop black(Top) isn't working

    in Coffee corner

    Ah, well that doesn't sound too good, then. You should probably contact support then, and arrange a replacement. In the meantime, you really don't need the bottom end-stop in most normal use, so maybe you could swap them around, if the bottom one is ok. You'll need the top one for homing the bed before you start each print.

     

    Yea, I know that. Do you maybe know where I could get a new one or who/what to contact.

     

    Problems with adjusting the extruders squareness(rev. 4)

    in Coffee corner

    I had to read your post 3 times. Are you talking about steps 9 and 10 in this section?

    If so, Move the head to the extremens in X and later Y axes (either order). Watch the belt where it goes through the block and as the block approaches the pulleys you don't want the belt crooked - the pulley should be lined up so the belt is straight. Check in each corner. Slide the pulley back and forth until it seems happiest (centered). The least strain.

    You can also try to visually look from above at a rod and belt at the same time. If you move your head so you can just barely see the edges of the belt and the rod at the same time you can tell if they are aligned.

    Also if your belts aren't aligned you may hear a ticking sound later.

    Anyway just do a good job and it's easy to come back to this step on some future date after you have been printing.

    More important is to tighten the hell out of those 8 set screws as they tend to slip when printing.

     

    Thank you for the help, I will figure it out I think.
