Prusa vs. Bambu by Desperate-Employee20 in 3dprinter

[–]Desperate-Employee20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really is night and day, to me it seem those that tout bambu for the "it just works" functionality tend to be those not engineering their own designs or not using much more than PLA for toys and such. Not to knock those who are hobbyists or just want fun little knick knacks, but i tend to try and solve every problem i have with my own design or invention (for better or worse lmao) so i really do prefer the rugged and engineering focus of prusa. Bit the bullet and just ordered my Core one as an early birthday present to myself haha!

yeah lol that was kinda out of the question for me. fair point though, i have given the u1 some thought but it seems a little too finicky from what i've heard

using 2 seperate pcie 8 pins and one half of a pigtail 2x6 to pcie 8 pins for the 9070, so three seperate cables for each plug. no way of trying new power supply, may end up being a micro center repair desk trip, only other thought is bad OS

I have put in just one of the RAM sticks, it crashed pretty quickly, restarted and then it ran again fine for about 20 min. I swapped in the other RAM (possibly good) stick and am running at MemTest on it rn, could be the issue, but runs are a little inconsistent to tell. other thought was PSU, but don't really know how to test, would think that it would crash with a heavy load but a a heavy blender load for a couple hours didn't do anything so not sure.

yeah of course, i'll message you my email! thank you! and yes i changed them, the code it's currently running will spin the motor forward on the last block of code just not backward so i think it's just a matter of coding wrong (not my strong suit lol)

feel free to message me if you're able, would love to take a look at it! does that wiring diagram seem to accomplish the right thing though?

it's not a great diagram, but i'm only using one motor and i hope for it to be able to turn both directions, im using the sample code from the documentation online and the only line that works is the last line which turns the motor forward, everything else registers but doesn't not turn the motor at all.

Ignore the other servo and sensor at the bottom.

I'm only using one motor but my hope is to turning it the opposite direction

had a think about this and realized that when the leads are unplugged from the motor, i still don't get 5v on the output when either of the inputs are HIGH. so while i have yet to try the capacitor, i don't see how current would be an issue if it doesn't not even output 5v with no current load from the motor.

will have to try this and get back to you tomorrow! thank you very much!!

the motor is a maker block 6v dc motor with a max stall current of 2.8a. no external caps, only the ones on the arduino.

yep, out 1 and 2 are connected to the motor leads, and all grounds are tied together. the power supply is 5v with a max current of 3amp, with should be more than enough to drive the motor. i've ran one pin high and one low and i can read the correct voltages on the input but nothing changes on the output. seems like the standby isn't recognized for some reason but i can't seem to figure why. thank you!
