My SD2 Jigsaw Extruder (Page 2 of 3)

Hi, I'm in London UK, so I plan to order from http://www.e3d-online.com/Lite6, I have another printer so I can print out the mount, I just wanted to know if anyone had a favourite design on thingiverse, this is the one I'm looking at right now;

That's what I use for the v6 and the Lite6. Just make sure you make it out of ABS...PLA will melt.
The lengths of the bolts that anchor into the motor will be longer with this design, though. I forget if they are M3x25mm or M3x30mm, but somewhere in that ballpark

thanks for the tip about the printed part to lower the z endstop.

As mentioned in the reply to your email, there are several variants of the Lawsy mount, some with and some without a locking arm. It is noted on the site in the product description that the locking arm may or may not be present. As you can see, there is no place to mount a locking arm in the mount, it was not designed to use one.

it was just to take up slack on a version of extruder. most dont need it some only needed like a piece of tape thickness and some needed more room filed.

Just to specify for future users...
MK5- Drop in replacement for stock PEEK hotends and E3D v5. This features a locking arm.

MK6- Primarily designed for the E3D v6 and Lite6. This does not have a locking arm.

Hey guys I need some help.  I got the lite6 wired up and firmware configured, but when I connect in Repetier Host I am getting a really high temperature (479C) for the extruder.  I've hooked up a multimeter to the thermistor and it appears to be wired correctly.

The lite6 assembly guide said to reconfigure the firmware for the Semitec 104GT2 thermistor in configuration.h.  So I changed TEMP_SENSOR_0 to 5.  If I change it back to 1 I get normal low temperature (18.3C) reading int Repetier Host. 

I don't want to assume that's the issue and ruin the extruder.  What am I missing something?

Is it possible my lite6 shipped with the wrong thermistor? I just tested a 100k Ohm NTC 3950 thermistor off eBay and I'm getting the exact same results.

Ok guys.  I figured out my issue.  I was using an older marlin firmware. I initially installed this this one, when I should have been using this one.  Thanks for the tip elmoret.

I couldn't tell you why one worked and the other one didn't, other than which one worked for me.

Here is my experience:
When I was looking for the firmware, I came across two different instructions, this one and this one.  I went with the latter since it had a later update date.

I downloaded and installed the firmware linked from the second webpage above.  I should have known something was wrong because when I was poking around in the configuration.h I noticed it was already setup for a SD3.  Both websites/instructions said the default setting should have been for a SD2.  Everything went fine until I connected the printer in Repeater Host.  No matter what I did, the temperature for the hotend was high.  I knew something was right when I disconnected the lite6 thermistor completely from the controller board and Repeater Host was still reporting the high temperature. 

At that point, I remembered the other website.  So I went back to that website and downloaded the firmware that was listed and made the change to TEMP_SENSOR_0 and uploaded it to the controller board.  I crossed my fingers and connected to the print with Repeater Host.  BINGO, success!!! I finally got a low temperature reading with the Semitec 104GT2 thermistor connected.  I should also point out the first firmware said beta whereas the second one I used didn't.  Let me know if you need more information.

I guess I should have mentioned it in my last post.  My thinking was this; that if that setting had been changed that maybe something else could have been changed as well.
