Hell,
I have installed K8200 3D printer(full mechanical and electrical). and I installed diver and repetier host software and connected with computer. when I clicked the connect button, it give me this. 11:01:41.023 : FIRMWARE_NAME:Marlin V1; Sprinter/grbl mashup for gen6 FIRMWARE_URL:http://www.k8200.com/ PROTOCOL_VERSION:1.0 MACHINE_TYPE:K8200 EXTRUDER_COUNT:1
11:01:41.067 : X:0.00Y:0.00Z:0.00E:0.00 Count X: 0.00Y:0.00Z:0.00
11:01:41.089 : echo:Active Extruder: 0
11:01:41.089 : Begin file list
11:01:41.089 : End file list
11:01:41.089 : echo:Active Extruder: 0
so this means the computer and the printer connected. but when open the repetier s/w and clicked manual button, i cannont order x,y and z axis mannually. but when i click the automatic button on x,y and z button, they move.
why i cannot control them? what is the problem? is there possible area should i have to check? I have checked up all the circiut cable connection and they are okay.
forexample, when i clicked the fun button from repetier s/w, it works mannually.
2)when i clicked the bed temperature and the extruder to be heated, it won’t heated. On the repetier host software at the bottom postion, the extruder shows 738,8/off bed:21,5.
why the the extruder is too high? how can i adjust?
3)On the ciruit board, we have 4 ICs motor, and I have measured the voltage of each and it give s me like this. E-motor=0.9v, Z-motor= 0.36v, Y-motor=0.88v , X-motor=0.87v. The adapter DC out put is 15v, 6.67A. The out out put value of the motor is correct or should i have to be reduce to 0.425v each. Is this the possible cause? what didi you suggest me? what should I do? If the computer is connetced to the printer and the fun is working. what is the possible symptom?
Thanks for all. waiting your answer!!!
Click on Printer Settings
On the connection tab.
Make sure you have the correct com pot
Baud Rate = 250000
Reset on Connect = Disabled.
If you have updated the firmware make sure you used the Arduino software version 1.0.6 or lower higher version do not play well with the K8200
The Extruder being 738C indicates you have a short on the thermistor for the extruder.
Unplug “therm 1” from the board the software should read 0C check the resistance across the wires you should see around 100K ohms at room temp
You should set the reference voltage to 0.55 this works best.
You can see how to do this in this link about 1/4 way down the page. http://www.k8200.eu/manual/printing/?c=002
Hi,
Thank you so much for your answer. That helps me aot and it works out.
now the 3d printer is ready to print. but still, i have a problem with the slic3r. I have downloaded the K8200 PLA standard download of zipped file and I just extrat the zipped files.
but the manual said that it will come up another small slic3r window. what can i do? what step should i follow? where should i extract the K8200 PLA standard download of zipped file? what is the solution?
Thanks in advance.
