  @johny Can you please at least post a picture of the bed mesh? As there's nothing else saved, ie there is not calibration with G32, it just levels the gantry with the information it gets from probing at the points you tell it to, there's very little else for us to go on. Maybe a picture of your machine that shows the whole bed, with an indication where it is probing. And yes, a picture of the first layer if you want.

  Also, when you make a bed mesh, make sure any previous bed mesh is cancelled.

  @axiom

  You can use G92 to sync up the logical position with the actual physical position.

  But if you can move past the endstop until it is no longer triggered you would have to insure that every Z homing operation began with a relative move to be sure you were no longer past the endstop. And that move could cause a problem if you happened to be near the max end of travel.

  As you can see I deal with that problem by insuring that endstop can be triggered all the way to the end of travel regardless of where it is initially triggered.

  @Aurimas

  @o_lampe said in Moving axis at different speeds at the same time:

  There once was a difference between G0 and G1 moves, but RRF treats both the same now.

  In CNC mode, G0 does work differently, ie as per the NIST spec:

  G0: Rapid move

  Same as G1 except when in Laser and CNC mode, where moves are executed at the maximum feedrate available. See 'G1: Controlled linear' move for usage.

  So if you can use CNC mode, set all axes speed limits separately, then command a move of all axes. I think that should work.

  @Auré Please send M115 in the console and post the response. Without knowing what hardware and firmware version you are using, it is difficult to advise. It looks like you're using a 6HC with a 1LC toolboard; is that correct?

  Usually, the easiest thing for quiet motors is to set the stepper drivers permanently into stealthChop mode, using M569 ... D3 V0 eg:

  M569 P0.0 S0 D3 V0 ; physical drive 0.0 goes forwards M569 P0.1 S0 D3 V0 ; physical drive 0.1 goes forwards M569 P0.3 S0 D3 V0 ; physical drive 0.3 goes forwards M569 P0.4 S0 D3 V0 ; physical drive 0.4 goes forwards M569 P0.5 S0 D3 V0 ; physical drive 0.5 goes forwards M569 P121.0 S1 D3 V0 ; physical drive 121.0 goes forwards

  Note that stealthChop mode does not have the torque of spreadCycle, so you won't be able to run at high speeds.

  @Stan said in DWC 3.5.0-rc.1 disconnects after a while:

  Y is 3400mA (dual Y motors)

  If you're using a Duet 2, the motor current is probably just set to max, ie 2.5A.

  Are your motors wired in parallel? I'd guess they are if you have doubled the motor current. However, due to the current limit of the Duet 2 drivers, they are only getting 1.25A each. If they are wired in series, the voltage is doubled rather than the current, which the stepper driver can do itself. You would potentially lose top speed, but the controller would run a lot cooler.

  @Otso @fcwilt @gloomyandy Thanks to this thread, I have updated various parts of the documentation:

  G1 S parameter section is updated to include that max laser power is set by M452.
  G1 S parameter range has been updated, which was 0..254, to 0-255.
  G1 S parameter section now describes 'laser clustering', which was added in RRF 3.5.0-beta3.

  M42 and M106, where the range of values for PWM and fan settings is referred to, is now worded as follows:

  The S field may be in the range 0.0-1.0 or >1.0-255. 0 is off in both cases.

  I investigated M3 and M5 support (M4 has never been supported) in laser mode. M3 and M5 are still supported in laser mode, but in 'non-sticky' mode (M452 S0), they are redundant, as all G1 commands need an S parameter to fire the laser, otherwise it just defaults to S0. In 'sticky' mode (M452 S1), you can set the laser with, for example, M3 S255, then subsequent G1 moves will use that setting without needing an S parameter. M5 effectively sets G1 S0. M3/M5 can't be used to fire the laser on their own; the laser will only fire with a G1 movement command.

  I will update M3, M4, M5, M452 in the Gcode dictionary, and https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Machine_configuration/Configuration_laser, with the above information.

  @Phaedrux
  thanks for the reply

  I am grateful for any suggestion and also from o_lampe.
  i am away in the countryside for the weekend but will check again re the operating system but am pretty sure am running 2.03. I have looked at RRF3.4 and will probably upgrade but know changes to the gcodes need to be done too with this. I have not needed to upgrade with the previous effector version 2.

  My connundrum is that there is also a clear misfit of the heatsink and the effector: the fit is too tight and the effector may be tilted as a result of this, even after tightening (it was very difficult to remove when I diassembled it all). Reaming the hole in the effector would help but I don't want to do this in a new device.
  Hence I have at least one hardware issue, maybe more. The hard probing could be from software too... or other.
  Since I have a work around already, using a previous version 1 smart effector modified to work with an IR probe, the printer is working so I am not desperate, just disappointed.

  I have replied to E3d too about this.
  I will change to RRF 3.4 soon.

  I'd like to note I already use the IR sensor as a mesh and trigger'd zprobe at print start, but this is using a different set of tech that's collecting a lot more data, but used more coarsely.
  Typically, TOF proximity sensors are for a course near/far detection in robotics, but there's some interesting work in applying these sensors for rapid plane geometry detection.
  https://youtu.be/vJdfpmd6OE0
  I can imagine you could poll a sensor like this across a bed at a distance to calculate a bed mesh at near distances or align it rapidly on print start, without the head needing to move across the surface to probe points.

  There was a jetting printer that also collected lidar data every layer to improve quality, and a higher resolution TOF sensor could be used for arbitrary surface capture in QC of bridging or distortions as well.

  Just did the first print with a M226 pause on this release, and when i pushed the "Resume" button on PanelDue it registered "Cancel" instead of "Resume" and canceled the print.

  @droftarts I need some brainstorming here.
  I thought about it a lot and the following scenario is working while the printer is idle:

  idle && no filament -> press button to start loading filament
  idle && filament present -> press button to start unloading filament

  I think this is clear so far and working in the macro.
  However there are two tricky situations need to be covered:

  Print paused manually for filament change so filament is present but status is paused Filament runs out and print is paused

  For case 1 we can use the original macro as filament is present, but I'm not sure how I could handle when print is paused with error. I have looked up all the available statuses and printer status is same when manually paused and when paused with error. I'm wondering what other parameter we could use this case to determine if the print was halted by error or manually.

  @jay_s_uk That would be useful, I could use at least one more for the Orbiter load/unload feature. That was nice, stick the filament in and it loads it. Push the button and it pulls it out. And if both GPIO's were to appear I'd move the X endstop back onto the extruder. Less wires dangling all over the printer frame that way.

  I tested the daemon and it works fine,. This way if a fan ever fails again the printer can shut down before damage happens.

  I put my g-code resolution back to the default value and it started generating arcs. It only does it on external perimeters though. So artifacts from linear segmented inner walls can still print through.

  But again, for the sake of our discussion, until RRF allows true arc support, the quality with G2/G3 is worse than without.

  We agree the tool panel can get unwieldy.. To combat this, here is what our custom DWC has whittled it down to. Note we removed the label for each heater as it's redundant for our usage. For posterity - most of the padding is coming from the dropdowns - setting the "dense" flag in the v-combobox removes it.
