Folgertech kossel 2020 working firmware

ProfessorBean · 2018-10-07T19:30:28.986Z

Does any one have a FT kossel 2020 with the inductive bed level that works, prints stuff and levels the bed. Can you upload your firmware? I’m looking for a good base to start, my 2020 hasn’t functioned properly from the software side since i got it years ago. i just need a working firmware then i can add my machine specific measurements to it and go. thanks in advance!!

I found that’s its best to manually level the bed on the FT Kossel 2020

i have tried to level the bed manually, it doesn’t work, i even used a dial indicator affixed to the hot end, leveled the bed to within +/- .0005 and it still wouldn’t print flat. adjusted the rod offset to make it concave or convex, it drove the hot end into the bed as it moved from tower to tower through the center of the plate

Did you adjust the screws on the top of the carriages for each tower to pass paper test? Paper test at center, paper test at x tower, paper test at center, paper test at y tower, etc…

umm funny story, so the 2020 kit i received did not come with any kind of fine adjustment screws/levers/bumps/rails for the homing switches on top of the carriages, i have to slide the switch up and down on the t rail

I can print you some if you pay the shipping.

that is mighty nice of you thank you, however if i can’t get it printing good enough to print it’s own upgrades, i may as well just sell this printer and buy a makerbot. lol

i am using the newest version of repetier, should i go back a few versions?

I doubt the software really matters. If you can get the nozzle close enough you can always use rafts to get a print started.

nope, the software completely matters, now the stock firmware makes the printer move in super slow motion, if someone could upload a full functioning folgertech or clone kossel 2020 delta firmware then i could look at what happened.

@ProfessorBean - were you able to acquire the firmware? If not I have it

ProfessorBean · 2018-12-13T07:30:00.729Z

No i have not found a version that works yet, can you upload the firmware to an online file share or a github? I was attempting to use Klipper, since it uses a raspberry pi to do all the heavy computing and the arduino for just motor control, however that system proved buggy for me.
