Assembly Help

Here are some photos:

PID Wired

2 switch setup

Stall Protection Board

Motor Wired

So I soldered everything and now it (PID) turns on just fine, but the motor wont turn. When I go to turn on the motor...it loses power, then it starts twitching power (the fan will literally barely start jumping and the back stall protection board barely blips with the fan twitching).

Any ideas?

Here are the photos assembled

Internal Assembly (with everything compressed and screwed in):

Unscrewed Internal Assembly (uncompressed and not screwed in):

Closer look all unscrewed:

Nozzle End, no protrusion:

Back of Screw

So i rechecked wires as stated and it is all going to the correct places (i used a black wire instead of a red wire...but it is going to the correct place).

I soldered them because I had more than one wire going to a switch point (i can easily remove if need be....)

Are things better with it at 84.5mm? I can see you've got some room to slide the shaft collar a few millimeters towards the motor. This will move the tip of the auger out, it only needs to stick out a couple millimeters. Your assembly looks good otherwise, though you can peel the tape off the parts to make them cleaner.

The big power supply is for the Filastruder, the small one is for the Filawinder. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear, I thought big motor + heater = big power supply. If you cut up the wrong power supply and can't get it spliced back together, let me know via email and I'll get you another one.

That ring is called a C-clip. There are special pliers you can use, but I've done them before with normal pliers. Just takes a bit of patience and eye protection of course, as they will sometimes go flying. C-clips are spring loaded in order to stay in place. Yes, it should be in with the mesh, to hold the mesh in place. They aren't preinstalled because if the need arises to swap the filter, you'll need a way to install the C-clip yourself anyway.

I am back. So i am attempting to do my first filament extrusion and when I go to se tthe Sestos PID it flashes "orAL" and 1312 and it never changes temperature. I looked on the forum and this happened to someone else and it was said that they have their polarity wrong on the temperature sensor.........is this talking about the "fork prong" that is on spot 3/4 of the PID?

No temp...still oral

So i whipped out my trusty multimeter and soldered the end of the K thermocouple (there use to be a glob of solder at the end and i  noticed it was missing). So i resoldered the ends together, verified continuity to the PID....and then

It started rising like the heat of the phoenix!

Aspike- did you not download the diagram and assembly instructions? They can be found here http://www.soliforum.com/topic/2036/fil … stl-files/

The wiring may seem a bit daunting if you haven't done it before, but it's not too difficult. Take your time with the diagram. Focus on each individual pin at a time and trace back which lines connect to the given terminal.
