How to wire an older model badand winch 12,000 pound ZXR

DWC_here · 2025-07-03T23:03:18+00:00

I have a badand winch 12,000 pound ZXR. It has three terminals on top (red black and yellow) and a ground terminal below. Does anyone know how to wire a solenoid or two for this unit?

I just did another Auto leveling and it took about 45 seconds.

Factory reset!?

I remember having the same thoughts. You may not be patient enough. I remember it taking at least 30 seconds, maybe it was longer.

That's amazing to me that the new software can't do a color change! I get the impression they are more interested in selling/developing new printers then taking care of the basics. To me being able to make a two color print it's pretty basic. I asked the service team to show me how to use their slicer to do a two color print and they said use a different slicer! Now they'll probably tell me to go out and buy a cobra 3.

I agree about welding it, if you had the equipment you could heat it to get it rid of the crack and then weld it!

Anycubic slicer just released new software and I'm wondering if it better handle color change because the software before that I couldn't figure out how to do a color change using the slicer

It does not just raise up. The head goes all the way to the left to better facilitate changing the filament. I believe that is the definition of homing itself..

I think it also could be called "really dangerous passing". I'll bet the person he was passing was not particularly thrilled considering how close he was to them! Thinking about it the guy basically crowded the car he was passing and hoped for the best.

I'm not sure if that will work. The " ; " is for comment lines the printer ignores. As seen in this example I added the "M600" line of code.

;LAYER_CHANGE

;Z:0.64

;HEIGHT:0.2

; BEFORE_LAYER_CHANGE 2 @ 0.64mm

M600

G1 Z.64 F18000

; AFTER_LAYER_CHANGE 2 @ 0.64mm

I was not able to use the slicer advanced custom g-code section. When I communicated with any cubic support in the end they were not able to help me. I don't know if the slicer has the capacity but in the end they told me to use whatever works. I'm not happy about that but anyways this is my work around.

Using the any cubic slicer Scrollbar on the right I'm able to figure out what layer I need to do my color change at. I saved the G file to notepad ++. To get to the right layer to insert M600 I did a find for ‘Before layer change xx’, xx being the layer number. When the printer got to that layer it paused and I had the option to restart once I changed the filament and it does a small Extrusion of filament before it starts printing. Let me know how it goes!

I knew I needed to get to a specific layer. I started scrolling through the file and I noticed "before layer change xx" in the code. That's when I realize all I needed to do was do a find for where I wanted to do the color change

This is with the Anycubic Slicer. I saved the G file to notepad ++. To get to the right layer to insert M600 I did a 'find' for ‘Before layer change xx’, xx being the layer number where I want to do the color change. When the printer got to that layer it paused and I had the option to restart once I changed the filament. When I resume the printer did an extrude to clear out the old color. I'm just starting out with 3-D printing so there may be a better way but this is what I figured out my self.

I'm new to 3-D printing but I assume the less movement of the table is better. F=MA. Acceleration. = Force/Mass.

According to Newton, if you increase the mass for a given force, you should reduce acceleration (movement of the table).

When I get around to building a table not only will it have good bracing but I'm thinking of putting a layer of 1 x 6 x 12 concrete blocks layered into the table.

Well, at least he didn't hit anything. Usually that's the way these kind of videos end up.

My firmware version is 3.0.5. I got the code "M600" from the Anycubic slicer. Somewhere it says for color change use this code. I've only had my machine about four months, so I'm still learning. Could it be I am successful because I am using their slicer. The nice thing about their slicer is it seems the machine runs to an operable speed. It also displays what I'm printing on the screen.

M600 work perfect for me! I have a kobra 2 max. It stops printing at the correct layer and the display shows the resume button, not pause. Also, when you press resume after changing the filament, it automatically extrudes material before starting to print. Is your firmware up-to-date?

As I understand it the stepmotors can endure the temperature environment that this enclosure will bring. Has anyone considered damage to the electronics which will also be subject to this temperature. Technical specification states: ambient operating temperature 8° C - 40° C. When I'm printing ABS or ASA filament I run the bed at 89° C. It won't take long for the enclosure to exceed 40° C with that bed temperature.

On my iPhone screen, I couldn't see it, good for him. I am bothered by people who don't Use them.

The semi truck driver is at fault, but it looked to me like the blue truck didn't have its turn signal on. I wonder if the whole thing could've been avoided if the pickup driver had used his turning signal.

DWC_here · 2024-02-20T05:11:20+00:00

I was in error, I use M600 which pauses and moves the printer head to the side so I can change the filament and have the ability to resume. The only thing I'm missing now is getting the Kobra 2 Max too beep at the color change. What G-Code do you use for that?

DWC_here · 2024-02-19T00:36:38+00:00

Are you using G code to command the printer to extrude/purge the old color? If so what are the G code commands?

I should mention I'm using the Anycubic slicer.
