It looks as though it is starting the print a little high. So try setting the trigger height (G31 Z parameter) a little less negative, for example -0.05 instead of -0.12.

Hi,I've done the backdate to 2.0.5 as suggested and now I don't seem to have odd movement don't get me wrong it's still not printing and the endstops are way off still..but now I've noticed and this is new the smart effector light is flashing constantly while stationary ...not every second or 2 seconds but randomly all the time ,interference ?

That suggests either a bad connection to the 8-way connector, or interference from the fan. Does it still flash with the fans turned off?

@dc42
I'll try that now
Thanks for your help -
No just unplugged and it has stopped plugged back in and not flashing that must be a poor connection on the fan?
I'll change it now to fair I have had this apart once or twice.Sorry I've changed my setting back to 2.0.5 could someone please have quick check of my configs as I've homed again and it's showing homed height way off but end stops fine,
Also Heater 1 is missing so figure I've missed something though it works

The config files between 2.x and 3.x are not compatible. If you want to switch back to 2.x you'll have to use a backup of your config file, or if you don't have one, you might have to recreate one using the web configurator tool.

@Phaedrux
I have switched the settings back all seems to be working except I get a homed error as per the picture above
and the Heater 1 is missing so I can't activate or switch off via it.
Actually the homed error is only if I M500 and have a config overide file if I delete that it shows what I assume is correct home height.Thanks for your help.
-
Your config still has a lot of commands specific to 3.0.
In the gcode console send M98 Pconfig.g and report back with any errors that come up.
-
@Phaedrux
Hi,It reported 2 fan command not supported which I corrected with M106 now only no config override but I deleted it.
Thanks for your help
-
What do you mean by heater1 is missing?
-
@Phaedrux
If you look at the above screen shot its missing Heater 1 from Tools .Thanks

You can remove the R value entirely. The Duet knows what resistor value it's using.
-
@Phaedrux
Thanks I've removed the R value.
The temps have always been correct as they both show very similar values at room temp I just can't switch the hotend off via Tool0 only to standby and active.I think I'll redo the configs from scratch as you suggested.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
So regenerated the files via on-line tool this did fix the Heater 1 missing but not the homed height or endstops being way off also can't move any axis once homed without:
M120 G91 G1 Z-50 F3000 G90 M121
Error: G0/G1: target position not reachable from current position.
Had this before new files were uploaded if I delete config override it shows correct height.Config override below

@Phaedrux
Hi,Is there anything in the home file to suggest why my machine is homing at twice the actual height ?
I did think it was because of the config override but it's not as it's deleted and still appears to do it without one
As soon as I hit emergency stop it returns to the correct height if that help until I try to print or delta calibrate and return to home
Also setting the probe height to 0.05 means it can't extrude as it's to close to the bed I'm experimenting with the heights some more ..though it leaves a nice keyed surface for when I eventually get it to print a layer(that's a joke by the way)! keeping it lite hearted and all that. -
Nothing that I can see or understand given my rudimentary experience with deltas. All I can suggest is to go through this very carefully. It holds the key to your success:
