@fcwilt underneath the bed heater in direct contact with it. Will help with power consumption and excess heat in my workshop room.

@fcwilt Error was with the M906 command

Good job.

I know it was tedious but it worked.

I wonder how you do set the current for that stepper - clearly related to using the 1XD board.

@dc42 Thanks David. I can wait 🙂

@dc42 Thank you for the info!

I will try that first.

Thank you

@Phaedrux ok, i have started a new thread:

@gloomyandy

I am working with the E3D MS/TC setup.

The link was very helpful because it answered my other question in that other post. I should read the release notes more often, which won't be hard because to date it has been never. 😳

I like the idea of the extra switch. It would solve another question I have been thinking about.

Thanks VERY much.

@floppah said in Offsetting bed origin:

All I want to do is offset X by 12mm (M206 X-12). Can you advise what is now the correct way to do so?

Do you want this offset to be "permanent" or is it just on certain occasions?

Using tool offsets in G10 can work but it depends on activating the tool specified.

Using G10 to specify a workplace co-ordinate offset can work but you then need to use G54 to G59 as appropriate.

@joshctaylor

M564 S1 ; S1 = respect axis limits M564 S0 ; S0 = ignore axis limits

If the current state of the printer is to respect axis limits, G92 will not set a position outside the min/max limits for the axis.

You can do the M564 S0 command and then you can use G92 to set any position.

@annikamars

Please post your config.g file.

There are settings for a Z probe which can affect Z travel during probing.

@mendenmh I'll have to try that if I have issues. Right now the goop that I'm using is working perfectly

@yagodajm

The last M307 seems a bit wonky. It starts out with M307 H0 and then goes right to M307 H1.

M307 H0 M307 H1 A1396.0 C319.8 D9.1 B0

This seems a bit wonky too. It references two temp sensors but I don't see where you configured those two.

M106 P1 S1 H1:2 T45

@fcwilt PM sent.

@nikscha I did--for some reason it didn't like that.

@jay_s_uk said in Have accel add-on board - cannot install plugin:

@fcwilt you've downloaded the repo. You need to download the file from the releases section as you would other duet updates

Thanks much.

I clicked on a link in a article and it took me to where that other file was. I guess they assumed I know how Github works.

@dave-poltorak
Hi man,
Did you end up publishing your work on Github ?
I'm really interested and would love to have a starting point to work on something similar.
Thanks in advance.

It doesn't exist yet, but we could use CT-mode with a modified MMU or ERCF unit.
For multicolor prints we'd cut the required filament-length right at the MMU and feed it to the extruder without all the time- and material wasting full_retraction and purge stuff.
Problem would be to sync the toolhead motion with the filament feed and that would probably be easier if the MMU would work in constant torque mode 🙂
Everytime we cut the filament off and reposition the MMU feeder towards the next color, we'd see a gap in the feed.
But in CT-mode we quickly close this gap, once we feed new filament.

It would require a closed loop MMU-motor and/or a filament monitor to keep track of the feed. A second filament monitor (switch) on the toolhead would tell us, when the first piece of filament feed arrives, so we can start the actual print.
It would require working with dual-gcode stream:

one for the MMU to work out the required filament length the other for the real printer-motion system incl. direct drive extruder

Best way to start a print would be a single color bottom layer.

@gloomyandy Due to the design of the tool holder, the probe and the tool (paint brush) can't be fitted at the same time. We have to swap one in, do the ABL measurements, and then put the brush back in again.

I'll take a look at changing the endstop configuration from low to high and let you know how it goes -

Thanks for the top!
Best,
D

@gloomyandy here are some example start and end snippets from files I've been running - do you see anything which looks like it might cause this delay?

I'm running a g-code generator which we developed inhouse so we have lots of control over what it does.

I know the final Z move is slow, but it doesn't take anywhere near 10 seconds

Any ideas?
Cheers!
