Z-Axis not homing
-
On the 5th May 2020, from E3D Online, and it's a Maestro
-
Ah yes, sorry, Maestro.

@rickypilnik said in Z-Axis not homing:
(changed all motor currents to 1875mA (max is 2.5A)
I think the reason I assumed it was a Duet 3 was because of this statement on motor current.
These motors may not be well suited to the Maestro as it's drivers are rated for 1.4a peak. The Duet wifi is 2.4a and the Duet3 6.3.
You'd have to run the drivers at full power to get close to 60% of the rated max for the motors. This will require actively cooling the driver chips.
If you send M906 in the console, what does it report back with?
-
@Phaedrux That is quite unfortunate to hear, but if I switch it to a duet 2 wifi you reckon things should be ok?
As in it should stop shorting to ground if I use a lower motor current on a different printer, say a CR-10 with motors that max out at 1.5A anyways.
Motor current (mA) - X:1875, Y:1875, Z:1875, E:1875, idle factor 30%
-
Yes a Duet2Wifi/Ethernet would be a much better match for those motors.
-
So after all that, having switched boards around I think I found the underlying problem of this all......... A badly crimped factory connector on the Velleman..........AGHH
Anyway thanks for all your help you helped solve problems I wasn't even aware of yet! -
Glad you got it figured out and the driver hasn't failed.
