Re: Orion SD Drive Software problem

Thank you Eaglezsoar,
Your copy of the chip fully gets me going again. I can now print small part fine. I just needed to move the adjustment code into the Select File/GCODE folder. Not the CALIBRATION folder.

Thanks alot for the info. What they are doing is very interesting. The citations in the paper could prove to be very useful.
I go to north county a lot and always liked having breakfast at Don's Country Kitchen in Carlsbad and walk along the sea wall.

Hello from Imperial Beach, California

I just ordered a Orion Delta 3D printer after reviewing as much as I could for an entry level printer. I’m a retired Physicist-Electronics Engineer and I am developing a series of circularly polarized antennas from 400 MHz to 6 GHz. The technology involved is called, “Quadrifilar Helix Antennas with ...
