Issues setting up duet wifi with dual x axis motors and endstops

@wingtip said in Issues setting up duet wifi with dual x axis motors and endstops:

what would you suggest for a max for nema 17s

It's recommended to target 70-85% of max rated motor current. You can go as high as 100% of rated but the motors will get quite hot.

@wingtip Are you running a 24V PSU? Mine is on 12V, but 24V will more than likely help you achieve higher speeds. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Choosing_and_connecting_stepper_motors#Section_How_to_work_out_the_power_supply_voltage_you_need

wow thats a lot of math. Im not trying to calculate a launch window and trajectory to mars..... lol.. That page talks about 150mm/s on 12v and mine is on 12v, 1000amp supply... dude im used to printing at a max of 40mm /s right now... if i got 80mm/s and kept accuracy i'd pee my pants with excitement....

If you guys want to see what im working on that requires a larger printer than my FT5..take a peek here... this is a collection of photos over the past several years of designing and redesigning, printing, redesigning, re printing, tired of paying others to print then build my own printer, then start building my big printer lol

You're making a model of Wet Nellie!?

@wingtip I saw that your profile image was the James Bond Lotus Esprit sub, but didn't realise you were making one!

Looking good. Keep us posted on your progress. And feel free to ask for any help as you go.

@wingtip I'm fighting the same issues with dual X and dual Y motors. Can you post your final config.g and homeall.g (or homex.g)? Might be able to figure out my problem without needing to make a new post.

Thanks.

@wesc I believe these to be my current config... id have to double check at a later time but these were my backup files so i think i had updated them when i last was messing with it... im still building/ modelling the printer so its not finished.
