Great video! Can you please explain if we need to modify power unit? I assume that additional extruder/heater w'd require additional power. And how much in watts were sufficient for your setup?
watching after one year but great work :)
I want to build a ender 5 3d printer with the e3d 4extruder water cooled hotend. What controlles the rest of parts
Hello
Q: Y axis, doesn't need 3 jumpers?
Thank you for the video
If memory serves me correctly, this board uses dip switches that need to be set to 1. Good observation.
Congrats, thanks for sharing
You're welcome.
is it possible to have both extruder motors run at the same time? i have a set up where I have one extruder motor mounted to my printer's enclosure feeding into a second one mounted to the x axis gantry, I tried linking them to one driver but when I print they stutter. I'm not sure how or why but the one driver is not working for both.
The short answer is motor never actually move at same time. It appears the do as the commands to move from gcodes as very fast. As to the issue your see could you add a little detail or post a short video link on my Discord below to see?
Hi,
I have a question, if I want to add more extruders how I set up the firmware pinout and how the GCODE will define the pin with the slice design? Sorry if this question is to easy I’m just new at this.
Thank you
The pins would be the same process with additional pins reassigned. For slic3r you'd add slt files together like a puzzle pieces and assign each a color.
Then slic3 as normal into a gcode file.
@@EdwardBraiman and the gcode from the Slic3r will know which pin was assigned for each extruder?
It would be a color assigned to each extruder.
Can you please provide the aurdino code
Hi folks. I want to make a CNC punching machine using arduino and ramps 1.4. I expect to control only X-Y stepper motor and a solenoid valve. Would it be possible?
Help plase!
It maybe, but you'll need to become familiar with Marlin firmware gcodes.
@@EdwardBraiman ofcourse I have passed through gcodes implemented in marlin firmware. I just don't know how can I edit their definitions;e.g there are some gcodes in marlin firmware meant to activate extruders, bed heater and other;now I want to change them to activate and deactivate solenoid valve as soon sheet is in position. Generally I just I want to add custom gcodes in marlin firmware. Now how could I do it to fit my CNC. Ofcourse some gcodes in marlin are useful for this purpose but some would be useless and I would like to add others for me.
why use 8825 with extruder ?
can use A4988 for all drive ?
8825 has 1/32 step, 4988 has 1/16. Yes.
Question :
at 13:18
in marliin/ default_axis_step_per_unit
X = 80
y = 80
z = 4000
E0 = 1000
and
E1 = ?
thank you! Your video are very helpful!
You're welcome. If you have matched stepper driver boards and Nema17 steppers, then both can be same.
@@EdwardBraiman yes ,I remember the remaining will be suited by forward parameters
soo great thank youuuuu
Thanks.
I have looking for this for about 2 day. GREAT work. How I need to find how to setup the software to use the extruder for mixing. Thanks again Great work.
In Marlin firmware in configuration.h search on mixing.
What I am looking for is how to setup Cura to be able to produce single or mixed colors in prints. I found "mixing" in the firmware and enabled it, but how to use it is the question. thanks
I'll do a video on setup in Cura today.
Excellent video and everything worked in this part. Was wondering how you were coming on the new video. I found that after I compiled the firmware that Cura will not allow mixing unless Mixing Extruders is turned on. So tried to enable it in the firmware and re-compile, but it errors with not allowing more than 1 extruder. Have you encountered this, and if so what is the resolution. thanks.
I'm close to recording the video, but need to test printhead and firmware. Granted I cannot remember settings for mixing at the moment, but zimmerman in my Discord set it up about 6 months ago.
Hello friend, I really liked your channel, very good explanation! If you can help me, thank you immensely! I am looking to change the anet a8 board to some one that works with silents tmc2130 drivers without much customization, which supports the original anet display and memory card support. Can you tell me your buying opinion? Thank you very much and congratulations for the quality channel!
RAMPS Arduino 2560 will work with most hardware. It's also relatively cheap. The RAMPS 1.6 can easily be changed to 32 bit Processor.
Hola mi amigo, me encanta lo que haces. cómo se configura para que sean salidas diferentes del extrusor?
¿Podrías reformular lo que estás preguntando? ¿Te refieres a cambiar el filamento en la extrusora?
@@EdwardBraiman two nozzles
@@EdwardBraiman I have installed two extruders, but when I configure the second nozzle (#define TEMP_SENSOR_1 0) I get an error:
#error "TEMP_SENSOR_1 shouldn't be set with only 1 HOTEND."
Two nozzles makes it more challenging. You can have one nozzle and two filament inputs.
@@EdwardBraiman Thank you very much for responding so soon, I understand the point, so there is no way to organize them?
Is it only for extruders?
Yes.
What if I have 2 extruders and 2 novels do I still do the same??
You'll need to set second nozzle in configuration.h for another thermistor.
@@EdwardBraiman thankyou very much helped me a lot!
You're welcome.
Мужик расскажи пожалуйста как написать пост процесс для 5axis cnc

Q: Sir tell please how to write a post process for 5axis cnc
A: Are you trying to do something at the end of a 3d print? In Slic3r.exe go to Printer Settings, Select Custom G-code, end G-code.
Russian:
Вы пытаетесь что-то сделать в конце 3d-печати? В Slic3r.exe зайдите в Настройки принтера, выберите Пользовательский G-код, завершите G-код.
Nice video but the mistakes with the terminology were painful.
True.
