    Re: Kflop for 3d printing

    HelloTom,

    I used a fluke 189 true rms multimeter (http://www.tmgtestequipment.com.au/solutions/media/ecom/prodxl/FLUKE_189.jpg) to measure the resistance. It ranges from 0 Ohms to 500 Megohms. I...

    Re: Kflop for 3d printing

    Hey tom,

    OF course! He looked at it and said that it should be easy to interface KFLOP with MATLAB, so I'll post an example as soon as he confirms that is perfectly working.

    Sorry for the...

    Re: Kflop for 3d printing

    HelloTom,

    Thanks! This is what I needed. I didn't think it was going to be that simple. I talked to my friend about it and he said that he will buy a KFlop and a KStep to start playing with them....

    Re: Kflop for 3d printing

    Hello Tom,

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    1- I put everything together by connecting the bottom KStep to the KFLop via the JP7, and then I connected the KFlop JP5 to the other KStep JP26.

    Hey Tom,

    Well I want to two things. I'm trying to use a Solenoid and it's easy to control it with an arduino. It would be good for me if the arduino and the Kflop could communicate. I don't know...

    Re: Kflop for 3d printing

    Tom,

    Great! I tested the machine, and the z-axis is working better now. For some reason, it's still a little off. The part was suppose to be 2.5 inches, but the z-axis displacement was about 2.25...

    Re: Kflop for 3d printing

    Hey Tom,

    Sorry for the late reply, but I think that's my problem. I found out that my stepper motors (NEMA 17) have a 200 steps/rev. KStep uses at 16x micro-stepping and my z-axis uses a threaded...

    Hey Tom,

    Thank you so much for the help that you have provided me so far. I've decided to do it by using a PID temperature controller to control the temperature from the outside. That would be the...
