What were you useing for grease ? I like to use molly diluted with 3 in one oil . Molly can make anything slippery . I use the oil mix to lube the smooth rods every 4 or so prints .
May I ask who made the carriage ?
I was also wondering why no heatsink on the processer and the mosfets ?

Here is this machine now with prototype enclosure, smart effector and filament monitor. Still to fit accessory chamber heater, and chamber cooling fan.

The extra heater monitor channels provided on the expansion connector are great and I can monitor temperature at the bottom and top of the chamber, to control heaters/fans to maintain the ideal temperature. Water cooling for hot end being considered.

Update - This combo is working very well for me now with the latest Duet WiFi firmware updates (>v1.19). I especially like having macros for the BLTouch and probing calibration points on the bed.

Thank you David for the tip!

@IdefixRC
Be carefull with that type of PSU (saw the picture) when you want the full power. They have issues with burning inrush current limiting NTC's….
I saw several cases... and I have a 12V one laying around now. Doesn't look that great when you open it...

@T3P3Tony:

Yeah that looks good, although you will have more board cooling than you need! 😉

Yeah the point here is to put a silent fan at low rpm to keep good CFM, and because it's cool and easy to find 🙂

Since there space in the box I'm currently designing a stack up piece in order to add buck converter in the box.

Downloaded 19.2 firmware and server, and copied them to the /sys folder of the SD card, ran M997 S0, and also M997 S1 and got this error:

I then tried M997 S1 first and it worked.

your theory is sound. I will definitely give it a try. me being new to duet will have a lot to catch up on reading… thx

@CaLviNx Not much of mine is original anymore either .. It is fun isnt it?

Thanks !

Thank you all for the answers and ideas.

The Tevo Little Monster uses an anodized plate with a machined lip to hold the glass in place with the heater glued to that. That is held in place by some standoffs and M5 bolts. Wouldn't be hard to adapt that idea to the Onyx stack. I like the removable glass on a Max V3 versus the glued in glass on the Tevo.

check the forum, several have documented all the little quirks of the bl touch models and how to get around them. Whitewolf and CAlvinX are pretty much subject matter experts as far as i am concerned…

@CaLviNx:

Nice Printer, any link to where you got the Start/Stop button ?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005W17FRS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got it for another printer I was doing for my son but it was too large (I didn't properly read the specs). When I started this printer, I knew it would be perfect.

Good job, looks nice.

@jrlederer:

Ian -

nice that this topic was already raised; saves me some typing :). Question relating precisely to this thread, which is do you see any hurdles presented by trying to commission a diamond hotend on a delta? Particularly weight, influence of effector angle caused by torques imparted by the Bowden tubes which will need to follow along with effector. I guess I'm trying to ask why you haven't used a delta for your awesome work. Do you anticipate problems or challenges due to the kinematics of the machine?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

I know very little about Deltas so probably won't be much help. I'd guess you've already summed up the issues - "weight, influence of effector angle caused by torques imparted by the Bowden tubes". I doubt you'd be able to get the extruders as close to the hot end as I have managed on my corexy with separate extruder gantry so you'd likely have long Bowden tubes. That might help in that they would be less likely to pull the effector out of alignment. I'd imagine that a Delta would be much more sensitive to the weight of the hot end than my CoreXY and the Diamond assembly alone is about 250gms.

Ian

Thanks man!

That sounds reasonable to me. I don't think that changing the endstop configuration in the homing routine should have any adverse effects.
