@Phaedrux No ... That was not the version of the plug I've been messing with. That one went in fine.

It's always the little things :-p. Thanks for the assist.

@T3P3Tony
Thanks for the update!

@SANJR Order dependencies are listed in the Gcode dictionary, where relevant.
M208

Order dependency

If this command refers to any axes other than X, Y and Z then it must be later in config.g than the M584 command that creates those additional axes.

M671

Order dependency

M671 must come later in config.g than any command that changes the kinematics, e.g. M667 or M669.

So it shouldn't matter if M208 is before M671, or vice versa.

Your M671 does look a bit strange, though.

M671 X5:5:545:545 Y70:455:455:70 S5.0

This effectively says that the leadscrews are within the bed area, at (X,Y) 5,70 and 5,455 and 545,455 and 545,70. As it says in M671:

M671 is used to define the pivot points of the bed or gantry where it connects to the Z axis. These pivot points are often at each leadscrew, but may also be offset from the leadscrews, if the bed/gantry rests on a carriage extending out from the leadscrew, for example on a kinematic mount.

Generally with 4 Z axis motors, I'd expect the pivot points to be where the leadscrews are, rather than on Kinematic mounts under the bed.

@o_lampe

No OpenPnP has no knowledge of this machine as it is totally standalone.
2 head with rotation and it has JUKI nozzles but no way to connect cherry on the cake.

Machine works but I would like to get cameras to OpenPnP PC to simplify working process.

@droftarts

I absolutely agree with your thoughts if your concern is power failures.

I don't like power failures for variety of reasons.

So my approach was to install a propane powered generator with automatic transfer plus dual-conversion UPS units with enough runtime to power the printers until the generator kicks in, which is typically 30 seconds.

Overkill? Probably but its nice to have power that doesn't go away because a storm rolls in. I will admit that I only have enough propane in the tank for 10 days, so a serious power outage due to say, storm damage, may mean I will lose power.

Moving the endstops is a much cheaper solution. 😁

@dc42 well, here's the odd thing. I read that link and thought I understood it. I was running 3.5rc1 on Github and it would always just move 1 axis and sit there.

Today, I saw you linked a newer RC1+ build. I installed that, went back to read the input shapping page and put in two movements and I got both movements.

So perhaps, i was hitting a bug in 3.5. Now things make a lot more sense - i thought i was missing a step or needed to click the play button that the second movement had next to it.

Now it complete more than 1 axis and it says motion profile #2 is complete.

Now its time for me to see the data and see what to do next 😉 may have more questions but at least this latest build unblocked me.

@dc42 awesome, I may give those a try 🙂 thx for all your great work on this!

@ecnsupplies

Not sure how I helped but always willing to try.

What is the size limit for g code files in dwc

Please send an email to warranty@duet3d.com and CC your reseller. Include a link to this forum thread and the details of your original purchase. You'll receive a reply with a form to fill out.

@elmoret Done.
Meanwhile I made a quick repair by recycling used heatblock and thermistor. I also sealed the tube parts with silver soldier 20231121_142016.jpg

@dportero morning!

It is in my workshop and stripped of all the original control gear. I've planned what I intend to do, but not actioned it yet because I've had a few paid jobs bunch up.

The screen fits in the old holder with a few mods. I'll mount the Duet3 (doesn't have to be a 3, the motors are low current) on the removable flat panel undervthe machine. I'll likely need to print some cooling ducts to ensure the duet is happy, but other than that I think the biggest mystery will bevthe vslues if the thermistors. I have noticed that one company does upgrade hotends for the machine. That may be an expensive but reliable waybof doing it.

@omni @SDJ
you can see work has begun here https://github.com/supermerill/SuperSlicer/commits/nightly_dev

@fcwilt
I downloaded a different slicer and will run it tonight just so I can say I did.
Let you know tomorrow

@ecnsupplies

Regards bed.g versus mesh.g:

One of the reasons I suggest folks not depend on the RRF config tool is that it doesn't generate very good code.

It seems that the tool is behind the times and is not aware that G32 is not intended to be used for Mesh Bed Compensation.

Unless you intend to enable True Bed Leveling (either automatic or manual) bed.g should be empty or perhaps contain just a M291 command to put up a dialog stating that bed.g is mostly empty. 😁

Regards starting a print at the center of the bed:

You may recall that I set the X and Y axes min/max, via M208, to put 0,0 at the center of the bed. I have never had an issue getting prints to start in the center with any of the slicers I have (and I have most of them). You do have to tell the slicer (just one time) about your printer and the size of the bed and the location of 0,0.

Regards G28 in your config.g file:

NOT a good idea. You don't want any part of your printer to start moving or heating or anything just when you power it on.

After I power up my printers I manually home them just to get a sense that all is fine and there are no disturbing noises being made.

Glad to help when I can. Feel free to ask why I do or suggest something. I like my approach to these things but everyone is unique and has their own likes and dislikes.

@T3P3Tony
Well i'm far from knowledgeable enough to make my own board, not to mention the firmware for it.

That said, if such a board was to be made i personally wouldn't have an issue with it being connected through CAN rather than wireless. The filter needs two wires ran to it anyways, so doing a CAN pair in the same loom wouldn't be a huge issue.

Being able to connect VOC sensor(s) to Duet3D boards would be a nice feature in general though, the SPG40 for instance 😅

@Aurimas I have my homing files such that homing X homes XYU, (same of homing U or Y). Because U homes off X, X must be homes before U can be homes in my setup. I added Y to the mix as well because there is a "safest place" to have the X and U heads positioned with their cabling and filament tubes for homing Y. So hitting home for any of X, U or Y will home X, then U, then Y in a predictable order.

@Kiolia Glad its working. In advantage of having them setup as mixing is you adjust the mixing ratios if needed to balance the extruders (unless they are truly identical and seeing identical loads)

@Phaedrux

Thank You!

I wasn't sure... Then I can check that off the list and figure out what else it must be.

Cheers,
Gumby

Yes familiar with that. Thats why i got the bl touch because using a paper and moving it a hundred times. LOL
Thank you for the advice
