Topic: Davinci 1.0A 0030 Error - Home Sensor Red Wires - All three needed?

Hi All, first time poster!

I've got an XYZ DaVinci 1.0A 3d printer at the High School I administer, and it's suffering from the common 0030 error. Specifically what happens when it starts is the head moves to the starting position and doesn't stop, it seems it just keeps trying to go further. SO home sensor right?

I've attached a multimeter to every wire that goes into the thing, and the only one that didn't report continuity normally was the middle red wire for the x home sensor. Even more evidence.

I then bridged that wire with a different one and tried again... Same result. Confused now.

Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Try to plug another to that same connector to see if there is something wrong with the board.

The endstop it's self could also be bad. They are notorious for going bad in those machines.

Aha!!!

Your suggestion carl_m1968 is likely the fix! I took the sensor out of the X Home stop and replaced it with the Y stop one, and the issue translated to the Y axis (the X stopped nicely :-) ) and I now have the Error 0031 code (which I'm to understand is exactly the same but on the Y axis).

Sweet! Easy fix then! I just need a new one of these:

Is that what you're referring to DopeSkrit?

Edit: I've just got off the phone with an ex-supplier of these printers, who was more than happy to offload some of his stock of these sensors, as well as a replacement lower guage wiring loom, and even some REALLY cheap filament, though I've declined that last offer pending this fix :-) Woohoo! Will update here with results once they arrive.

Re: Davinci 1.0A 0030 Error - Home Sensor Red Wires - All three needed?

UPDATE:

Replaced the home sensor, then the juddering issue stopped (as expected). Still had an 0030 error though, so replaced the red home sensor cables, which let it move past the 0030 error.

Then had an 0011 error (I think? I don't remember the code, but it was the extruder heating one), so I removed the white clip in which the regular extruder wires are changed into heat-shielded versions. I just twisted, soldered and heat-shrunk them together, far sturdier now and better connection. The wires themselves don't seem to get very hot anyway, so hoping the solder doesn't melt! (will update here if it does)

Also ordered some of those cheaper filament cartridges, will work my way through what I've got then look at "open sourcing" it.

Thanks for the help!
