  Sorry for more posts. But, one more type of Manga Screen stand that may be useful. These are simple easel-style braces with countersunk screw and screen mount holes. Two options: one that is taller with longer legs allowing portrait or landscape mounts, and another that looks nicer with shorter legs that just lets you mount in landscape.

  So I've got a mange screen hooked up as part of a video mixer I'm building

  So I’ve got a mange screen hooked up as part of a video mixer I’m building. My hope was to have the manga screen attached via an HDMI splitter whilst feeding another display at the same time. Issue I’m having is the rotation being in portrait as I’ve seen others have written. Problem I’ve got is the windows orientation on the first screen is correct and when I rotate in the display settings it doesn’t work as the primary screen then turns portrait and the manga screen rotates correctly but still has the incorrect resolution and doubles up the screen. Is there a firmware update that could fix the default orientation at all? I can’t seem to find much documentation regarding use with windows.

  I noticed my screen is getting really hot after being turned on for more than 30min. Seems to be mostly on the side with the LEDs but it’s definitely pretty warm to the touch. Since I’m using this as a battery powered FPV screen I’m worried about the power consumption and prolonged usage in an enclosed case… What is causing the heat? Is it a regulator for the LEDs?

  I am just getting started with my replicape. I have used ramps and marlin several times before, but new to replicape. I have 12v from atx(PS) wired to the replicape as shown in the diagrams. I get a power led on the replicape and that is it. The beaglebone does not power up. It is my understanding that the cape should be passing 5v to the beaglebone directly. Not sure what to troubleshoot here. My power out form the ATX is good and I have confirmed polarity several times.

  I have been printing with replicape for a while now and it has been great

  I have been printing with replicape for a while now and it has been great. However last week it stopped working. I thought it might be a power supply issue, but swapped that out and the beaglebone black but still have the same issue. It can not find the replicape. Like would happen if no power was connected to it. When I turn it on the stepper motors jitter like always and I checked and there is 5 volts to the end stops but replicape is never found by octoprint. I have even re installed the operating system. But still same result. I have already ordered a new replicape but was wondering if there is something I might be able to do to fix this one.

When printing circular items, the printer pauses for a second or two every so often. This leads to little bumps of extra plastic appearing where the pauses occurred. This only seems to happen on circular prints from what i can tell. Anyone have this issue or any recommendations on how to correct?

  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ID5BQTC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 So I just picked up one of these screens and I’m not sure where to start with getting the touch screen to play nice. The display works real nice once I set the screen rotation but I have no clue how to update the drivers. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very appreciative. And yes I know the new Manga screen is coming out but i need instant gratification :P

  I had a question about homing. After I complete a homing routine all of the axis go to zero

  I had a question about homing. After I complete a homing routine all of the axis go to zero. They go the amount I put in from the home switch to zero. That’s good except for the Z axis. I wanted it to go to around 20mm above zero. So far the only way I could get it work was to have my Z zero set about 20mm away from the true zero (bed face). I found a place farther down in the config file that looks like I can tell the axis where to go after homing but it doesn’t seem to follow that part? Any suggestions?

  So I’m curious…and bear with me on this because I’m not a programmer…could a thermistor input be used instead to read the input from a variable voltage filament diameter sensor like what marlin supports? The sensor outputs a voltage equivalent of the filament diameter (1.75v = 1.75mm) I assume the hardware is capable with no problems but not sure what the limits would be as far as software.

  Hi. So I got around to playing with Replicape, trying to set it up, but I can’t seem to get the motors to turn. For example when I press Extrude in Octoprint, the motor just starts to make a noise and the current from PSU rises, so the driver is clearly doing something, but the motor does not turn. When I press Motors off the noise stops and current drops. It seems like no step signals are being generated. I even tried to reflash the image and try it without altering the default configs, but it didn’t help.

I have a MAX31820PARMCR+ sensor, which is a One-Wire temp sensor from MAXIM and I am trying to make it work with my Beaglebone (I have a BB Green Wireless). The BB is running Kamikaze. The problem is that I cannot see the sensor when running “ls /sys/bus/w1/devices/”. One reason might be that the sensor only supports parasitic-power mode, where it sucks power from the DQ line, which the driver does not account for.

  Just blown 5 times 20A fuse on Replicape and don’t know what is wrong :/ I have 24V/500W power supply. Last time i was testing if everything is ready on printer. Had heatbed (450W/24V) connected directly to replicape (together with 4x motors 1,7A run on 0,85A). For testing everything separately it was ok and i forgot to connect heatbed through SSR so i blow a fuse on replicape. Till today i was searching for new fuses. Last fuse was blown today when i had connected only power cables to replicape when i switched power on (nothing else connected to power supply or replicape).

  I have a question related to cura 2.3.1. Do you use the slicer for printing on Replicape? If so, did you happen to be when printing larger models motors lose steps and layers are shifted? For me, this often happens when they reach high travel speed (130mm / sec) and I suppose that this is related to the settings of speed, acceleration and jerk. What qualities do you use in your Replicape and from slicer when printing? Are you setting these values in Cura? Engines have approx. 0.5Nm 1.5A - in Redeem set 1A. I would use Cura, because it has good for me, interface and capabilities. My settings below:

  So the wiki says if motor set to 0.5amp no cooling fan is required

  So the wiki says if motor set to 0.5amp no cooling fan is required. I had mine set around 0.75 amp and use cooling fan. Could a geared motor say 3:1 or 7:1 be used to reduce current back to 0.5amp eliminate cooling fan and at the same time maintain higher torque one would get with 0.75amp. is this possible? Thx

  Hi, I've finally got the OS and servers running on my Replicape v2, so I connected it to a new Kossel-style Delta

  Hi, I’ve finally got the OS and servers running on my Replicape v2, so I connected it to a new Kossel-style Delta. I was able to get motion, but after many many hours of testing different settings, it appears the X driver is faulty. If I perform a home (for example), the X stepper usually makes it to the top, but sometimes doesn’t. If it makes it to the top, sometimes it doesn’t move after that (along with the Y and Z). I thought there was something wrong with my linear rails, so I bought new ones and tested them. Then I thought there was something wrong my belt setup, but after adjusting that I see the same issue (and the other axis work perfectly). So finally I figured it must be my stepper motor, but I tried switching the board’s X driver to a different motor, and now that motor is showing the same issue as the X, but the X motor works fine. In other words, it appears that the X driver on the board has a fault.

  Ok, ran into a really weird issue this time

  Ok, ran into a really weird issue this time. I’m trying to print a large part, but once the printer finishes the first skirt outline, the printer just stops and sits there. I’ve previously noticed that it randomly stops and waits between movements when doing smaller parts (most noticeably, random pauses between every stroke on a solid infill), but it just never starts moving again. The only thing I’m getting in the OctoPrint terminal is a communication timeout once the printer has been standing still for 30 secs. I tried “systemctl -n 100 -l status redeem” but it gives no info.

I would pay some small amount (5-10$/month, with things being more to the 10$ end if I could put in a request for like “make BLtouch work” or “push out a newer image for the SD cards” or “help me identify why printing below 1000mm/sec can sometimes cause my prints to freeze and become unresponsive”) of money just for you to commit more time to the whole replicape / redeem / magenta thing.

Today, I watched it the whole time to see where the heck it went wrong. The OctoPrint log looks normal, but at the time point it failed the redeem log reads like this:

  I’ve uploaded a new Kamikaze image (1.1.0), based on the previous version, only with updated software installed from Git. This should have the latest Redeem, Toggle and OctoPrint with plugins. What’s interesting is that it uses the same method for generating the image as with Kamikaze 2.0 which is still in the works. Feel free to test it out! http://wiki.thing-printer.com/index.php?title=Kamikaze#Kamikaze_1.1.0

  ok silly question (but maybe the wiki could be more clear): How do you set the Z offset of the nozzle from the probe? How does the X and Y offset affect the position of the nozzle? When setting a probe point, is that X/Y position supposed to be equal to the location of the nozzle or the location of the probe tip (which then I would assume the offset would be applied before a probe takes place).

  What power supply are folks using with their Replicape? My PSU is a few years old now, a cheap 500W Apline ATX that came with my kit. It worked ok with a Melzi board but when printing in full swing on Replicape it’s hissing and whining, and cuts out for a few minutes. I’m thus considering a 12v 30a LED SMPS (since I don’t yet want upgrade everything else to 24v). I’m not sure if I’m having issues due to the drivers being less efficient in some way, or if the BBB is taking it over the edge.

  So after faffing for too long getting wifi working reliably, and flashing the EEPROM manually (cape wasn’t attached on first boot), I’ve finally got my Replicape mounted, connected to power, and successfully connecting to Octoprint. I was just manually testing the endstops - one thing that’s not clear from the wiring diagram is why there’s three poles on the end stop plugs? Is this so one has the option of normally open or normally closed? On my current setup my printer (Sanguinoulu electronics) uses normally open (middle pin), which seems like a bad idea!

  Update on the progress with PID auto-tune shows how a measurement of the maximum rise time, the dead time and the heat transfer coefficient can be used to better the relay tuning skew

  Update on the progress with PID auto-tune shows how a measurement of the maximum rise time, the dead time and the heat transfer coefficient can be used to better the relay tuning skew. The tuning is completed on the -16 min mark here, and the testing shows that the P and I-values are perhaps too low. But the biggest problem with this tuning method is that it does not work reliably in the face of forced convection, IE a fan blowing on it. Even though the pre-calibration and tuning setup only works without a fan blowing, it should serve as a starting point for determining the right values for the PID and then move on to making it more robust.

  Delta printers are a start to insanity

  Delta printers are a start to insanity. So I got the FSR sensors working and they work a treat for levelling but my printer still does not seem to know what height it is. When starting a print job, whether I tell it to start at Z0.0 or Z1.0 (gcode) it still every time pushes the head into the bed until it hits the end stop. It does not start at the height I want it to and this causes the steppers to jump a step and everything is wildly off.

  This has been a long and frustrating process to deal with thus far

  This has been a long and frustrating process to deal with thus far. I have my BBB flashed with the latest Kamikazi. In fact at least 4 times so far. I have managed to get my eeprom flashed with the latest (Replicape_00B3.eeprom). I am trying to get into Octoprint to start setting up my printer. I cannot get it to connect from my computer. Here is my current setup. I am using a Windows 7 pc. I have my BBB/Replicape powered up via a 12 volt source at the power in on the replicape. I can connect to my BBB though puTTy with the USB and with a ethernet cable.  I log in under “root” because that’s the only way I know how to right now. When connect with google chrome using 192.168.7.2 I get the “It works” screen with the IP address, Including the ethernet IP address. I get the same screen when I log in using the ethernet IP address. The problem is when I click on “Octoprint” I get an unable to resolve host error. Where am I going wrong? I have followed the Kamikazi flash videos and directions to a tee yet can’t get past having a black paperweight with flashing blue LEDs. I understand this is still a developing process but the lack of directions to get up and running are a real problem. Obviously these boards work great once you get them running, but getting to that point is very difficult for someone who lacks BBB experience. I’m sure I am doing something wrong but just can’t figure it out. While connected with putty I issued a “top” command and can see redeem, octoprint, and toggle all seem to be running (see attached picture). As I said before I’m sure this will be a nice controller board, I just can’t get it working. What am I missing here?

  So I recently upgraded to a Bowden setup on my delta and have been trying to push the boundaries of [my] print speed

  So I recently upgraded to a Bowden setup on my delta and have been trying to push the boundaries of [my] print speed. Unfortunately I seem to have hit an issue with the ability of Redeem to feed Gcode to the path planner fast enough to keep up with the desired print speed. I have played around with the planning buffer settings but haven’t had much luck. Symptoms are stop-start printing while the data transfer rate (shown in Octoprint) is approximately constant. Trying to run at around 150mm/s. Anyone else had this? Should we be looking at further optimizations of the python Gcode pre-processor or was this already done to satisfaction by Anthony Clay? Or am I looking in the wrong direction?

I am currently using the Tunnell sensor that does all the work but I like the idea of the code being in control since it knows when it should be extruding. The replicape doesn’t have any extra i/o and I see it is using the event subsystem so is it setup to use mouse or something?

  Dusted off my old CoreXY for something to connect the new replicape to. Need to track down the rattle. +Elias Bakken is there any way to make the printer home to X/Y max? It kept wanting to home to min so I had to flip the stepper direction and endstops to be able to play with it. Only X and y connected until I rewire.

  Just in time for the Debian Jessie release party and the release of Kernel 4.0 I’ve finished a beta version of Kamikaze which is what I’ve named the Debian based distro for Replicape. The aim is to have a turn key BBB image with Redeem, Toggle and Operate which is the new name for the web interface incorporating Octoprint and stuff. There are still some quirks with this, but great if anyone wants to give it a shot and help with debugging the last issues :)

  In case you missed it, I’m adding a link to the Review Thomas Sanladerer did on Replicape. He loves the hardware, but feels the firmware is lacking. I agree with him and so getting a working Redeem version 1.0 is a big priority now as well as documenting the features available.

Here are the suggested changes for the new revision, but feel free to pile on if there is anything you feel is missing :)

  Am I correct in assuming the steps per mm in the Redeem software configuration file is using the stepper steps per rotation before applying any micro stepping?

  Am I correct in assuming the steps per mm in the Redeem software configuration file is using the stepper steps per rotation before applying any micro stepping? The default values are a lot lower than I am use to seeing. We usually specify the steps per mm calculated after the micro stepping has been applied (200steps/mm * 1/16 micro steps = 3200 / 40 (20 tooth pulley) = 80 steps per mm where the cupcake config is showing 5. Just need to change my way of thinking (makerbot and repetier firmware) if so.
