After installing the 3DTouch I started to get Y layer slippage and I thought I'd go back to square 1 to figure out the problem. The problem was in the Motion settings.

Here is what I found and am using now. The "SLOW" setting is from the REPRAP support forum.

Thank you _kaktus_, your comment is much appreciated. I bought this 3D printer thinking it might be a good mind challenge and it certainly has been plus frustrating and rewarding all wrapped up in one!! It's all fun and learning the design and then digital manufacture give a sense of achievement. Th...

It seems I've been doing nothing but troubleshoot issues of late and hopefully this is it for now!! I've had this nagging issue of random "Y" axis shifts in layers as this picture shows Y_slip_items.jpg I did the obvious and tinkered with the V-REF of the motor driver and put a much bigger fan over ...

Ever since I bought this machine bed leveling has been problematic. As explained in a previous post some obvious culprits have been resolved but I still had a gremlin that the level would mysteriously go right out of whack for no obvious reason. Turns out I was unknowingly doing it by moving the pri...

I have been chasing my tail for several weeks now trying to get the bed leveled on my i3 Pro X, Wasted many meters of filament and have been real close to tossing the whole lot in the bin. It started at a filament roll change and I started having issues with under extruding and silly me first though...

Thank you William The learning curve continues and I think I better finish this story for our forum friends so they don't fall into the same trap as I did. Also it's very important to do any calibrations with your printer at full temperature. I tend to wait an extra 10 to 15 minutes extra after reac...

Another Update!! Problems resolved. It wasn't the 3DTouch causing the issue but I've had to adjust motion setting and I discovered frame movement that created issues. Everything is documented in separate posts. In a reply below I'll show the motion settings I changed from the default that will be i...

Thank you kaktus, I understand. It's a good day when you learn something new and today I learn something new!!

I appreciate your comments Jarda3d but for what its worth I'm not an engineer, just a hobbyist. I wanted a guaranteed solution and your ideas are not what I found to be the best solution. Because my 3D printing is to make a CNC engraver I chose to go with the GRBL groups "Best" solution as it has ma...

Thank you _kaktus_!

Is this what you are suggesting? A 100nf ceramic cap between the diode input and ground?


Its a mission working on the electronics now its in a housing to tidy things up but next time I'm doing some work in there I will take your advice
Cheers
