jsyk, mounting the stepper to just a plank of wood does not noticeably dampen the sound. Can confirm that the rubber vibration dampers are doing...
Yeah, this initially happened for me as well (email ending up in the spam folder.) The store staff were super helpful in helping me create a...
Update >> much success from mounting the Stepper Motor to the Rubber Vibration Damper, which was then mounted to a 5mm thick piece of hardwood...
In terms of wrapping your brain around it, the three main pieces are a) the electronics (power supply, wires, circuit boards, etc. ) b) the...
Hi Lyle, Here is a related thread from earlier this year >> How to update Windows USB Driver for FT232R USB UART I only needed to install the...
I ordered a set of 'Nema17 Stepper Motor Steel and Rubber Vibration Dampers' which I hope to test out next week. Since the offending sound is high...
Yeah, I think it is resonating through one of the v-slot rails. I have the X-axis stepper mounted directly to the rail and it moves the gantry...
I'm using a Blackbox controller with the Nema 17 stepper motors.
I have a modified ACRO I am using as a drawbot and the steppers give off a fairly steady high pitched noise that is just loud enough to become a...
I removed the relay jumper and it's all working fine now, no more bad noises :)
thanks, i will try that out and give an update
I'm not using a servo port, just using the toolhead jack to send the pwm signal to the servo. Also, I am getting the same noise from the blackbox...
Okay, so it turns out that the noise is coming from the Blackbox Controller and not from the servo. The volume increases as the pen-up value...
I've been reading through the following thread >> Arco 1010 servo action problem Which helped me resolve some issues in setting up a servo for...
Switches were disconnected at both the BB side and the switch side, $20 was set to 0, $21 and $22 were set to 1 (when I was getting the alarms) I...
I encountered the same hard limit alarm error again today (multiple times) despite having the limit switches disconnected from the BlackBox. I'm...
The tool head is a Nema 17 linear actuator with lead screw controlling the Z axis. The lead screw is about 15cm long, and the gantry holds an...
Thanks, I am using an Acro 1510 with the OpenBuilds Xtension Limit Switch (normally open). Interestingly, the low voltage lines to come within a...
I am getting intermittent and recurring 'Hard limit triggered' events when running a gcode that is nowhere near the limit switches. Is there a...
Thanks for the pointer, that worked for me :)
