@captain_sq Sounds like it's in the pipeline for after the RTOS move.

Thank you! I have updated to firmware 1.21 and now works fine with:

M915 X Y S5 F0 H200 R0 ; set stall detection for XY axis

Thanks, Dougal1957 & Lykle. That's exactly what I just received from E3D themselves:

"Our threaded heatsinks have a M12x1.5 thread. Duet initially ordered some M12x1 for their smart effector, but when they run out of this first batch they will then use our standard M12x1.5."

Lykle - I like your SideWinder design. I have a foggy, long-term idea of vertically stacked printers (cartesian or coreXY), and the SideWinder would greatly reduce the otherwise wasted overhead clearance the filament would require.

Thanks!

@alex-cr said in Amazing use of Duet electronics by E3D:

I am fortunate enough to run a brand new Stratasys F370 at work. The hotends heat mind blowingly fast. They will heat from 20C to 250C in less than 50 seconds. It is crazy when they first start, they will rise almost 10C a second until 150C. I thought my 40W cartridges were fast.

I dismantled an old broken Stratasys Dimension Elite: it was using 2 cartridges, 200W each -> 400W! Sure, it can eat up fast ;o)

The print just finished. It occasionally clicked and clacked a bit, I tried loosening the screw a bit more, but that does not do anything. But I guess it's not a Duet problem. Thanks for the help! 😄

If your Duet is under warranty, please make a warranty claim. The WiFi module needs to be replaced. See https://duet3d.com/warranty if you purchased it direct from Duet3D.

The firmware doesn't care what the file extension is. DWC does care to some extent, for example when presenting you with a file upload dialogue.

The "%" character is mentioned in the NIST GCode standard:

"The RS274/NGC language has no indicator for the start of a program. The Interpreter, however,
deals with files. A single program may be in a single file, or a program may be spread across
several files. A file may demarcated with percents in the following way. The first non-blank line of
a file may contain nothing but a percent sign, “%”, possibly surrounded by white space, and later
in the file (normally at the end of the file) there may be a similar line. Demarcating a file with
percents is optional if the file has an M2 or M30 in it, but is required if not. An error will be
signalled if a file has a percent line at the beginning but not at the end. The useful contents of a file
demarcated by percents stop after the second percent line. Anything after that is ignored."

I may change RRF to recognise these %-lines.

OK update, I went ahead and swapped it with my spare Duet WiFi that is going into the HEVO I'm building. I used the same SD card as the one having issues. It has the same firmware. Connected right off the bat. Working fine. I think there is further testing to be done though.

@norbs12 said in Simple filament sensor detection delay?:

Awesome, where can I order one?

The 50 we are having assembled are initially for internal testing. Then beta testing. Sorry for the delay in releasing these but I need to qualify them across a wide range of filaments.

@phaedrux wow, that's a neat idea using motor stall.

I believe this issue is fixed in the 2.0beta series firmware. Bete 3 seems to be stable with no known bugs, so please try that version.

Yes. That is what it was.
I guess sometimes it helps when somebody else looks over it after being on it for too long 🙂
Thank you!

@3dpmicro Its 8mm and of acceptable flatness, and maybe a little heavier than my 4mm boro glass. the prints are sticking well and once they cool coming right off without a fight.

Below is one of the corners for my printer I printed last night.
PETG@245C, bed temp at 105C and then I dial it back every 3 layers until I get to 85C

@bartolomeus Yeah, the lack of any maintenance needed apart from the occasional wipe is what sold it for me. But ideally I'd prefer something like the Prusa MK3 solution - a permanent PEI coating on a detachable surface. This way it's not that big of a problem if you do scratch or mess it up and it lowers the downtime between prints a great deal. All while enjoying the maintenance-free 3D print adhesion wonder that is PEI.

@benjamin said in Unable to connect:

Hi, I have had my Duet WiFi for less than a month. Recently, I have been unable to connect to it in any way. The green LED also does not turn on. No endstops were ever connected. The only things ever plugged into the board were motors, a hotend heater, a thermistor, and an always-on fan.
Thank you in advance for your help.

If the red LED turns on but the green LED doesn't turn on, that suggests a problem with the 3.3V supply. Please communicate with your supplier to get your Duet exchanged.

@dc42 Thank you for catching that I corrected M305.
I found the cause of my problem, the heat block was tight against the heatsink. I went back and looked at the Titan Aero assembly instructions and saw a picture of it ( Thank God for pictures).

They should put something in their instructions for dummies like me.

Everything auto tuned perfectly and have it set up in the firmware.

Now on to the rest of the setup, Thanks for being here for us newby's

@phaedrux it deploys it automatically now. the only thing that bothers me, as i said, is the pin popping back out immediately after triggering instead of staying inside while homing

and

the pin NOT staying out while moving to next probe point,

but as you said, that seems to be normal behaviour

@dc42 Yeah I have silicon on it, I think something shook loose or something I'm taking it apart. I have always been a little weary that I used cat6e cables for the hotend because I combined 2 for each heater lead and even though it's copper strand it just didn't seem to fit right so I may remake that whole connector.

What gauge is ideal for the 6 pin connector on the smart effector? I bought a lot of silicon wiring I think I'll use for the connector.

Edit: Specify smart effector

@doctrucker said in Material Order of Preference for Machine Components?:

How's the dimensional/geometric stability of the PLA through heat treatment? I'm guessing this triggers come cross linking in the material?

With regular PLA, it is poor. The only modified PLA I've used is MakerGeeks Raptor PLA. At least in my experience, very good dimensional stability except on thin, flat pieces. When dimensional stability is important to me I'll print two pieces, anneal one, and compare it to the non-annealed pieces.

There are other modified PLAs out there, but I haven't tried them.
