  @nxt-1 said in Mounting a smart effector in larger effector - watercooled: @dougal1957 said in Mounting a smart effector in larger effector - watercooled: Sorry to put a dampener on your work but I don't think it will work, With the feed tube/blocks where they are I don't think you will have anywhere near enough clearance for the arms so your print radius is going to be severely limited and should you go beyond that limit you are likely to get an arm disconnection. I hope I am wrong but I would attempt to mount it and see before you go much farther. Also you might like to Check out the Zesty Kryo No worries about damping , I have been thinking the same about clearance. In the current design, I have placed the ball joint connections at close to the edge of the smart effector pcb as I physically possible. If clearance issues arise, I can move them outwards or increase the spacing between the rods. On terms of the Zesty Kryo, holy crap. That seems just about what I was looking for. I have to interest into getting the rest of the Nimble ecosystem but I will definitely look at the Kryo. One issue, did Zesty discontinue the Kryo. I cannot find a source for it. Comming back to the Kryo, I just heard back from Zesty directly and it seems that some users reported leakages appearing after a while. The guys over at Zesty make the right call and pulled the Kryo from sales until they can release a re-engineered version.

  Veti, Thanks for the reply. I have use dc42's backlash macro and added the codes to do the same test in the Y direction. It has worked very well and I use it often, especially after mods and/or cleaning. the SD/m in the x direct is 0.005 and nan. In the Y direction is 0.006 and nan. The problem with the reporting error is gone now. I backed up my sd card and did a reset on the board. Kind of harsh, but I needed to get back in production. The DWC now reports head position at -0.15 and the firmware message reports Stopped at -0.151. Not much for the reason why the problem appeared, but it fixed the problem. Thanks again.

  @dc42 Hello I applied option C, I just hope I identified correctly the GND on the PT100 daughterboard, please can you confirm from the picture below ? Thank you

  It was the wrong part number, I got the new one installed and avrdude accepted it for programming.

  @mihaitintea said in H1 (extruder) fault after power on: Since I assume this (turning off the mains power in a hurry) is not something I should as a habit, the reason why you should not be doing that is because it could clog up the hotend. the pt100 sensor should not be affected by a main power off. the pt100 sensor is prone to interference. see if you are running power cables close to the pt100 cables.

  @bartolomeus said in Smart Effector Part Cooling, what's everyone using?: This is what I use: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2909853 I can second that - this is by far the best solution in terms of raw part cooling performance I have come across so far. Every other solution I tried did not offer even remotely sufficient part cooling performance. That said, my long-term plan is to go for a frame-mounted CPAP blower and a CPAP tube to the effector (see Mark Rehorst's blog at https://drmrehorst.blogspot.com/2018/04/the-mother-of-all-print-cooling-fans.html). Might save some weight on the effector and provide ample cooling power.

  @jay_s_uk Thanks! That design would cut down on my printable area, the fans would touch the belts. My search continues!

  I'm working on a model of the smart effector which will include all of the SMD components and correct clearances, so the community (and me) can continue making awesome add-ons and such. Just started it recently and I work a whole lot so it might take me a while to actually finish it, but I'll share the f3d file which is properly broken into components and bodies, step, stl, and anything else that would be helpful. Still very much a work in progress:

  I'm a delta fanatic, have several of them, have tried every single thing from FSR, piezo, microswitches, IR, pretty much every probe setup on the market. This is far and away the best solution.

  Yep. It's more or less the thinned down machined version of the effector mount I printed. The Problem is the barbells are the same distance from the center of the hotend as what I've got. In order to get my full build plate without hitting the towers I need the barbells to be mounted the same distance from the hotend center as the mag balls would be mounted. With the way the smart effector is designed for the electrical connections, I would need to design a mount that puts the barbells far enough above to not interfer with the wiring, thus lowering the z height even further. If I mount the barbell underneath the effector then the arms hit the smart effector before they hit the tower. The Magballs seem to be the best compromise between build area and height. I like the fact that the ballcups have the springs for backlash compensation and won't come unhooked during a print versus the mag ball arms. Would it be possible to get mag balls the same diameter as the balls on the Barbells and use the ballcup arms with the stock mounting location on the smart effector?

  Try running G32 twice after power up before you drive to Z=0. If the M665 parameters in config.g are a long way from the true values, then there can still be a height error after running G32 once. This is especially true in firmware 2.03, and there will be a 2.03.1 release to fix this.

  Oh, there it is I did not see "select Z probe type 8" ...seems that was my problem… I´ll give it a trial when I´m back home next week Thanks a lot

  Did you see my post in which I gave the cause of the "crinkle crisp" height map, and possible solutions? You should not need to add H corrections to the probe points when using the Smart Effector, or any other type of nozzle contact Z probe. They are only needed when using an offset Z probe on a delta printer, to compensate for any varying tilt of the effector.

  @bpislife Ok, to close this post out. I was able to repair the traces. What I did was short the broken traces out at the very top, so 5 lines were essentially shorted together. I figured this was better then simply breaking the circuit. I did this in the two places where I had damaged the trace. Turns out the washer had been dented when I removed the e3d hotend and it dug into the PCB when I torqued down the nut. Anyways, the smart effector works like a champ now.
