  @clearlynotstef said in E3D SuperVolcano on SmartEffector?: Thanks for coming back to update us with your experience, I'm on the fence about trying this as well. I am on 12v currently, anyone know if that changes the recommendation on smart effector? I could always just run the heater wire down directly to the hotend and bypass the effector entirely if necessary, it would just be a bummer because I have swappable effectors between a v6 and volcano currently, so when using the v6 effector, there would be an extra wire dangling there I guess, unless I bypass it for both effectors... hmm While I did not test this myself, I would advise against running the 12V heater current trough the smart effector pcb. This would mean running 6.66A trough the traces in the pcb. @bberger said in E3D SuperVolcano on SmartEffector?: Oh boy, I would love to see a video or even just a picture of that thing 🙀 I currently have a regular V6 mounted, but I have all the materials I need to mount the SuperVolcano on a 2nd smart effector for easier swapping. Once the pandemic has settled down I will have access to the machines I need to get the mounting the way I want is and will post pictures here.

  The Smart Effector is sensitive to strong varying magnetic fields, which is why users who replace the standard E3D hotend fan by a different one sometimes experience spurious triggering. Are you probing with the bed heater on? Most bed heaters generate very little magnetic field, but a few types generate significant magnetic field (enough to affect BLTouch probes). So try probing with the bed heater off. RepRapFirmware has an option to temporarily turn off all heaters during probing, but I don't know which other firmwares provide this feature. It's also possible that magnetic fields from the PSU are causing the problem. I have the PSU under the bed too, but it's a low power one (because the bed heater runs off mains voltage), also the bed has 5mm of aluminium which probably provides effective shielding. HTH David

  Two days ago I printed all the parts I needed, sized correctly for a 25 mm bowden in between the hotend and extruder. After installing the parts it became clear quite quickly that 2 5mm is to short. For one, the wires coming out of the power connectors on top of the smart effector actually interfered with the bottom of the extruder. Secondly, 25mm is pretty tight in terms of bend radius near the bed edges. Following this, I quickly changed some parameters around to adjust for a 75 mm bowden, reprinted the part and installed the revised extruder mount. The 75 mm seems spot on, not unnecessarily long and not to short. The total length of the bowden, including the part thats that reside in the hotend heatsink and inside the extruder, is now 127mm. Which is a nice improvement from the 305mm it was previously. I will update this post should something noteworthy happen when I do more prints with this revised setup.

  @bberger said in Part cooling duct for a 5015 fan: Unfortunately over 60€ incl. shipping and VAT is way too steep for me That's why I use post-its for fan duct prototyping.

  Hi, thanks for that idea - I've already checked rs-online, but they only have the -453 type, not the 153. Well, I checked it again and found out that the difference is just the wavelength (color) and I'll just order the -453 type. Thanks again for the fast reply, Stefan

  Just a quick note to say that the fan has had no issues once rotated away from the Magnetic Balls. I also have to say I'm a big fan of the Magentic filament sensor, its readings are really helping me understand if the printer is well calibrated all around (including extruder and hotend distance) Thanks for the help all.

  @bberger said in smart effector 12v/24v jumper question: Can I have 24V on the heater itself and 12V on all the fans? Yes. The fan and heaters on the Smart Effector have individual positive supply pins on the 6-way connector, so they can all be different voltages.

  zprobe.in+zprobe.mod works fine. I must have missed that in the docu. I usually use the effector with the sensitivity 8:247 and double tip each point. I get the best consistency with this setting. Down site is that the fans must be off during calibration. In the new firmware a lot of stuff changed. Took me a while to move settings. Good thing is that you have to do it just once.

  The 6 pin is just power => connect to any fan connectors and the heater The 8 pin are the sensors => z-probe and thermristor

  @bartolomeus Glad you got it sorted it's not something I have tried so not looked to deeply into the M669 (I thought it was only for Cartesian Corey polar scare and any other custom Kinematic other than Delta)
