Re: FolgerTech Kossel (Rev B) - Firmware help?

Just a note for those looking at these. Calibration is a pain and I would advise doing it with the bed hot as it's dimensions do change once it gets hot.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

Re: FolgerTech Kossel (Rev B) - Firmware help?

Calibration is definitely a pain on one of these. Not for the faint of heart, or the easily discouraged.
Lots and lots of repetition - check, home, check again...tweak firmware, re-flash firmware, check again... over and over until you get it right.

I can definitely see where putting springs under the bed would be a big help on these - much easier to make minor little tweaks.
