Anyone used a duetwifi with the Anycubic Chiron?
-
Im looking for some help with gettin my duetwifi setup with my anycubic chiron. i know there is people out there who have done this swap. Im looking at how the end stops and the dual z were setup. Also looking for the startin firmware for them because burnt both printer boards on both chirons so had a duetwifi v1.04 from years ago imma use again but need a little help with it

I have a chiron with a duet and a hermes extruder.
Did away with the optical z stops and fitted an IR sensor
-
Why are you not using levelling with the dual z axis motors?
And I'm sorry but the extra end stops for z are not required because you have a Z probe, so you are making things much more complicated than it needs to be.
-
I can't use the screw leveling because my z Axis has very stiff linear rails. The two endstops I use for syncing the motors

@rabbit said in Anyone used a duetwifi with the Anycubic Chiron?:

That makes no logical sense, because if the gantry is as constrained as you say it is you wouldn't need to sync the motors as they would never be able go out of sync and overcome the constriction of the linear rails and when you had built it, logic would dictate that you leveled the x gantry as you put it together.
So please explain why, if the z axis is so constrained enough to not be able to use screw leveling that it is subsequently not constrained enough to be able to sync the motors ?
I have a pair of MGN12's on my Z axis and an MGN15 on as my X axis and i can still level the x axis no problem.
-
You're right. but I had a stick slip effect on the axis without syncing the motors. Now I'm happy with it. Maybe I will give the screw leveling another try. But at the moment I'm busy building a diy large scale printer.
maybe you could also post your config so you can help the thread opener. -
I dont think my config.g would help the op as I like to do things in my own particular (some would say unorthodox) way, also my X axis (the MGN15 rail) is much longer than the normal X rail as I park the head way off to the left to allow me to use a wipe script in my slicer start g-code.
So my axis minimums/maximums and some other code would only create confusion.
