Firmware evolution for TIG based Metal 3D Printer
Hi, I'm trying to develop a metal 3D printer based on the Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process you can find details there: StrongPrint. To cut a long story short after some semi manual...

Quotekolergy- Control a solenoid valve This can be handled like a heater or a fan. M106 in Teacup firmware, M41 or M42 in Marlin. Make sure your electronics comes with a flyback diode on the MOSFET...

Thanks for your reply, For the moment I use a Gen7 1.4.1 with the modified marlin from Johann as it is a delta printer. I think I will use the following set-up: - Argon solenoid valve command ->...

Quotekolergysince the Gen7 has dedicated power line to the MOSFETs can it handles 24v safely? Yes, with the exception that you have to remove the indicator LED pre-resistor (R14, R22) or replace it...

Ok, thanks, I will change the resistor when passing to 24V I have implemented the M3 command to ignite the arc, it is working perfectely except for one detail that needs to be sorted where I would...

Written for a different firmware, unfortunately, so I can't test.

Ok the M3 command is now working fine including the Z calibration. Here is the new version of the lift_ignition() method in Marlin_main.cpp that calibrate the Z position at the ignition point. #ifdef...

Cool project (tu) Looks close to being finished, when will you print your first cool thing? What are the advantages of using a Delta printer for CNC welding, and what would have to be done to mod this...

Thanks for your interest A2, Well now the auto ignition & Z level works this is a huge gain of time as before it required 10 mins set-up to be able to ignite it. But there is still two important...

Quotekolergy - The system guiding the wire is not precise enough to make fine welds (<2mm) I have an idea that needs implementing I watched your videos, would using a MIG nozzle help? I also wonder...

Ok it is available on [www.thingiverse.com] it should work (in theory) for cartesian as well. but i'm not able to test it.
