Thanks much, I am very stupid 🙂

@patterson6 you may have a point. This is an extract from the datasheet for JST PH crimps:

So 24awg is the maximum size for the common crimps, but there is also a smaller size.

@tkln good question … I’m not sure! I was planning on converting my small delta (RepRapPro Fisher) to smart effector. Currently, the nozzle sits quite close to the effector (an advantage as any effector tilt causes less nozzle tilt), and I’d lose a lot of print height if I mounted it hanging below, so I planned to make a mount that held the top off the hot end (cooling fins of a V6 hotend) above the smart effector, with the heater block and nozzle below, using the three holes. I haven’t actually tried it yet for fit, so not sure if it will work (plus cooling, wiring etc) but hadn’t actually thought about whether it would register as triggered. I guess it would, but possibly require more force, and may need some tuning. Someone will have to try it to find out!

@dc42 Thank you very much for your help!

It´s Version 3.0

@aerouta I use a 3510 fan for the print fan and a 2510 fan for the hotend fan. I was able to make a 40mm fan work for the print fan, but the clearance was too close for comfort. I find 35mm works nicely. I also replaced the 5V stock Revo fan with a 25mm 24v fan. 25mm was the smallest size I could find that operated on 24v.

The models are parametric, so they can be made to fit other fan sizes. I'm happy to share them if anybody is interested.

@tecno said in Z 0 is positive:

1 fixed and the two others moving freely in expansion direction from center

Search out kinematic couplings.

@weed2all Yeah, that works for vibration. But when unscrewing nozzle it does not hold.

@apak Please check this Thingiverse.

@Fred-Y the version 4 have only recently started shipping, and we ran out of stock of version 3 a few weeks ago. So it's worth asking your local resellers if they have any on order.

@Fred-Y the Smart Effector version 4 has started shipping to resellers already, but some resellers may not have them yet.

@PCR yes...of course...I uploaded them to my thingiverse, just click on the signature and you go directly to my thingiverse page!

@eddygara some bed heaters generate strong and varying magnetic fields when they are active, and these magnetic fields affect BLTouch, Smart Effector, and some other types of Z probe. The M558 command includes an optional B1 parameter. If you use this parameter in your M558 command then all heaters will be turned off during the probing move.

@dc42

OK, have to live with that 😁 Maybe something to put on to-do list?

Solved my situation now with higher dive + speed so I think I will get going tomorrow.

@nikscha we haven't finalised the dimensions of the combined Smart Effector/Tool Board yet. It will certainly be larger than the current SE in order to accommodate extruders such as the Mini Sherpa and the Orbiter 2.0. I expect to increase the rod spacing from 55mm to 70mm or perhaps a bit more.

The 8-way Molex connector is likely to be replaced by a smaller JST PH one.

@RogerPodacter May be best to start a new thread.

I'm made a new version for the Bred Air pump specifically designed to the Rapido (standard or UHF)

This design is not compatible with the Revo as it is shorter, I am working on a new version with the tubes on the side.

@o_lampe
Even better?
The Z-tower Rod distance only 20mm wide, because the passive tower is still ~90mm wide

Opting for Ø200 so it is like the spool in picture

Time for an update 🙂

Awaiting new carbon fibre rods. (the old setup was/is to spongy)

We've added a note strain relief here: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/Duet3D_hardware/Accessories/Smart_Effector#warnings

The connector looks like a Molex microfit 3 (?).

I use the Molex tool HT60923A aka 0011030043. It's easy to remove once you get the technique, inserting from the front on the right and left sides of the pin and on each side, rotate it a little back and forth to release the pin. It works for both male and female Microfit 3.

@t3p3tony Excellent, thank you so much for these detailed instructions!
I will try first on an old damaged Smart Effector v2 to make sure I can do it 🙂
