V-Core 3 rebuilt after approx 15 mins of use...
V-Core 3 rebuilt after approx 15 mins of use...
Well. Firstly FINALLY got around to building my RatRig V-Core3 400... after sitting in the box for a few years. (bad car accident slowed me down in lots of bad ways)
Got the machine built, powered up and started to do some test prints...about 15 mins in, got a boatload of driver temp errors, and I shut it down.
Long story short... a couple of the Z steppers drivers FRIED on the Duet 3 MIni5+. I used the stock mounting standoffs supplied by Duet, but had no cooling fan on the board as the docs STATED that passive cooling should be 'enough'. NOT. Ugh.
Fast forward to today, and I have a NEW BTT Ocotopus Pro 1.1 board installed and I'm trying to get things working again.
I can bring up Mainsail and check things out, etc., but I'm noticing a couple of things are 'off' -X and Y axis home correctly, when commanded. -Z axis is a no go. Suspect it is because the Probe is not working. Just a guess. -BLTouch Probe is NOT lit up like it was before, debug commands are non responsive. Suspect incorrect wiring (I followed the BETA Electronics guide for my build) -My extruder seems to show a temp of -94.5c. What's up with that? -Bed warms up quickly when commanded and shut down as it should. -I have a 120mm 12volt Noctua cooling fan mounted above my BTT Octopus board and it cools it down quite nicely. (about 40c) It's only running in 2 wire mode as I wanted it to run 100% always. -My layer cooling fan and extruder fan are off; when I try a preset (PLA, etc) the heaters act like they are trying to heat, and then Kilppy shuts everything down saying the usualy not reached expected temp warning,etc. So...I had a working system with the Duet board for about 15 mins...and now I back to ground zero, trying to troubleshoot this new board and quirks that go with it. I have my printer.cfg. klippy log files etc, if I need to upload them. Would REALLY like to be able to use this thing again, ANY help is greatly appreciated!
