Vibration noise from XY then prints in wrong place (FT-5 Printer)


Recommended Posts

Posted · Vibration noise from XY then prints in wrong place (FT-5 Printer)

Im using Cura with the FT-5 printer. I can move around and home perfectly fine both with the individual axis and with the home all. The problem arrises when I try to print a file generated in Cura. After homing the printer and loading up a file, the head noisely vibrates, misses a bunch of steps, then starts printing in the wrong direction. Ive been trying to get up and running for a weeks now with no success. Any help on getting my prints set up in the middle would be great! Here is a youtube video of the behavior on print,

Can anyone please help me with this?

    Well the M82 and M83 conflict.  You need to pick one or the other.  

     

    I think the M501 destroys pretty much every setting before it, does it not?  Shouldn't it be an M500?

     

    I really don't know this printer. (FT5).

     

    Maybe there is an FT5 forum?  If you can get the FT5 to work from some other gcode then you could paste the begining of that gcode into the cura start.gcode section.

     

    It doesn't look like it's responding to the G28 (home) command.

     

    The vibration is where it's moving too far beyond the end of travel.

    Thanks gr5. I figured it out, someone from another forum pointed me in the right direction. The answer was setting my motors in the right direction relative to my home point. My home is in the right rear, which is not the norm, so a few adjustments were required. This is the link to the document that pretty much explains how everything should be aligned, https://drmrehorst.blogspot.com/2017/08/setting-up-3d-printers-origin.html. I learned quite a bit from it, and fixed my issue.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
