  I suspect if the air can be directed very close to the nozzle tip it isn't necessary to provide a 360 degree cooling. My current plans for the next iteration: 270 degrees cooling, so the nozzle tip can be seen again during printing remove the 'fingers' and prohibit the air from blowing directly at the nozzle so the air stays cooler use a 40mm blower instead of 50mm to reduce footprint and weight maybe use a 40mm blower for the e3d heatsink as well? The fan duct uses a lot of space currently Any idea where i can get a high quality 40mm 24V blower fan? The 50mm one i'm currently using has pretty bad vibrations Maybe the old style silicon sock would be better suited as it shielded the nozzle better. I suspect the radiated heat from the nozzle is a problem both for the print and the fan duct. Where the screw that tightens the heater cartridge radiates heat, the fan duct fails first. It burns a hole in the PLA the size of the screw head.

  Awesome - thanks for confirming! I managed to get up and running pretty quickly in the end. tapping the probe seemed to take some effort to activate the LED and I wondered if it was just going to bash holes in my printbite during probing, but it works and amazingly well. nice to know there is that possibility for MOD , I'll implement it when I come to another good reason to take the bed up , the default is fine for now. And the probe is a totally brilliant solution, I cant get over being done with effector tilt and changing z offsets, measuring all the points again.

  Only got my hands to it now. Sadly 140R resistor burned out so badly that there are no traces left to put replacement component. LEDs are fine though. Has anyone tried using silver tracing pen to re-draw traces? Will it work properly with moving part like effector?

  I ended up running 2 more wires for my hot end and part cooler fans. Now they work.

  @deckingman I would think the arrangement in the top would not be correct for a 3mm filament sized Bowden tube. Also looking at the heat break drawings, the 1.75mm heat break uses a m7x1 thread where for some reason the 3mm heat break uses an m6x1 Regards, Sam

  Wizards, one and all. I knew I had to be missing something. I put a little pat of SuperLube on each balljoint and ran the test again. 6:27:06 AM Stopped at height -0.172 mm 6:27:05 AM Stopped at height -0.185 mm 6:27:03 AM Stopped at height -0.166 mm 6:27:02 AM Stopped at height -0.172 mm 6:27:01 AM Stopped at height -0.166 mm 6:27:00 AM Stopped at height -0.166 mm 6:26:58 AM Stopped at height -0.166 mm 6:26:57 AM Stopped at height -0.172 mm Stopped at height -0.178 mm Stopped at height -0.166 mm 6:26:56 AM Stopped at height -0.172 mm Stopped at height -0.178 mm 6:26:55 AM M98 P"0:/macros/BLT Repeatability Test" Stopped at height -0.172 mm I still have a little bit of tweaking but that's very, very close to the mean error of .009mm Thank you!

  That tool does look correct. I can only assume that they have introduced it recently, because last time I looked the only suitable tool was much more expensive than that.

  i am not sure what voltage it was, i know it burned a line into the cpu on a 3.3v line though and burned one of the legs off, im using my old duet wifi now the burned one is in a drawer but thank you i will look into those components as soon as i find my multimeter

  Delta smart effector sensitivity problem

  So, I was recently having problems with the sensitivity of my Smart Effector. It would work fine once, and then randomly trigger while probing. Normally it would "finish" the cal, but return useless values. Other times it wouldn't even finish the cal. After fiddling with the settings to no avail, I decided that it had to be electrical and I unplugged the hotend cooling fan before attempting the cal. That fixed it. I've done at least a dozen Auto Delta Calibrations alternating with Mesh Grid Compensations with no false triggers. Hope this helps others.

  @quadcells, if you can see the damage and it is localised, and you have a fine-tipped soldering iron, it might be possible to repair it by soldering a single strand from some stranded wire over the break. The traces are only 0.15mm wide, OTOH I've hand-soldered 0201 SMD components (0.25 mm × 0.125 mm) before now. It would probably be OK to paint some polyurethane varnish or similar on to the PCB to help protect the traces in future.

  Nope I'm fresh out of the vibrating tables and I didn't feel any seismic activity . I'll contact filastruder. Thanks again to all for your help, Bill in colorado

  @zov the only direct contact detection that it wouldn’t work for is electrical since the nozzle tip is a ruby. Piezo based and strain-gauge (smart effector) will work. I think starting with hardened steel is a great choice.

  Apparently, I did fry my smart effector. I remembered I had a spare smart effector stashed away, swapped all the effector parts onto the other PCB, and everything seems to be working fine. Now on to figure out why my print failed and jammed the hot end in the first place....

  You may have a bad crimp connection in the signal cable, or the effector may be faulty. Does the green led flash when you tap the tip of the nozzle upwards? Are you using the recommended probing speed in the M558 command?
