Hello.

I'm testing nanodlp with a mUVe 1.1 DLP and have a problem with the Z Axis. On manual the motors move. When it starts printing, the plat is moved to home but doesn't move anymore. In the images are my current configuration. What i'm doing wrong? With Creation Workshop works well.

Hi Tiago, look at the boxes "Before each layer" and " After each layer" in the last picture. These should have Gcode in them that tell the RAMPS or whatever board you are using to move the stepper(s). Hold your mouse over the question mark to get an idea about what the code should look like. 

Good luck,
Matthijs

Tiago,

If you follow our documentation on nanoDLP setup you'll find some missing components as Matthijs suggested. You'll need to get everything entered before it'll work appropriately, currently you're lacking any motion commands for the Z axis and due to that it will not create any motion during printing.

Hi.
I've tried the examples on nanodlp on "GCODE Before Each Layer" and "GCODE After Each Layer" and didn't work. it doesn't move. I've tried testing gcodes but it moves always to the same spot. How can i say that he should rise "x" steps after each layer?

The example code that i use:

GCODE Before Each Layer:
G1 Z[[LayerPosition]] ; Move to layer position
[[WaitForDoneMessage]] ; Wait done message
[[PositionSet [[LayerPosition]]]] ; Save layer position as the current position

GCODE After Each Layer:
G1 Z{[[LayerPosition]]+[[ZLiftDistance]]} ; Lift to wait position
[[WaitForDoneMessage]] ; Wait done message
[[PositionChange [[ZLiftDistance]]]] ; Again update position

Tiago,

Based on your explanation, the printer isn't being homed before printing, or the rest of the nanoDLP isn't setup still and you aren't in the proper motion mode. It's important that you follow our nanoDLP setup instructions from start to finish and make sure that all the important settings are entered correctly. The link to the software instructions are on this page: http://www.muve3d.net/press/supportsources/muve-1-software/

Once you have that sorted everything should start working fine, but only if you follow the setup we offer. If you deviate from that you could have unexpected consequences, especially if you're not completely clear on the entire function/setup within nanoDLP. If you get stuck anywhere along the way with the documentation just let us know.

Hello.

I've printed the manual anda was missing a page. I've recheck all and now it's works well. 

Thanks
