        This is my very first successful Print:

        It should be 20x20x20
        And the actual dimensions are

        X 20.10 MM WITH STEPS 160
        Y 20.10 MM EITH STEPS 160
        Z 20.40 MM WITH STEPS 400

              i dont know what you mean by that

              here is a guide on how to calibration it

                @Veti My extruder steps are correct. 100mm are 100mm

                  the bottom looks a bit strange, did you enable raft?

                    @Veti brim was activated. but i´m struggling with the z offset a little bit. sometimes its really good , on the next try its scrubbing over the bed.
                    The cube was also printed on the backside of my buildplate. not the pei side to avoid any additional damage to my surface. 😞

                    i adjusted the bed to the subframe assembly with my digital calipers to ~ 0.05mm equal distances.

                    then i checked my bltouch mountig if it is perpenticular to the bed. that is also good.

                    then i homed z.

                    after that a true bed level with G32
                    another G32

                    Then mesh compensation with G29 and another G32 to Load the new Heightmap.

                    Now im testing with ABS Filament. because the pla before was constantly clogging in the heatbreak.

                    i adjustet my retraction to 1mm with 25mm/s speed and will see if it will be better. i have zero stringing with these settings.

                      that is not a good idea. the G32 after the G29 will mess up the mesh. also after running G32 you need to establish a new Z

                        @Veti oh, I didn't know that. Then I won´t do a G32 after the G28 anymore 🙂

                        is the software handling everything after the G32 automatically from the heightmap every time I start a new print?

                            G32 must be initiated AFTER the printer has homed all axises otherwise the printer has NO reference to work from.

                            Here is what the Duet G-Code dozuki lists G28 & G32 as :

                            G28 Home

                            Example

                            G28 ; Home all axes

                            The purpose of homing is to allow the printer to obtain a reference of where it is in space.

                            G32: Run bed.g macro
                            Parameters

                            None

                            Example

                            G32:

                            The firmware executes macro file bed.g. This macro normally uses G30 commands to probe the bed and then perform auto calibration of a delta printer (see Calibrating a delta printer), or perform bed leveling by moving the Z leadscrews independently, or display the manual corrections needed to the bed levelling screws.

                            So if you do not carry out G28 before you attempt to carry out G32 you will receive and error message ; Not enough axises homed

                            Unless the printer was already homed which is what G28 does anyway.....

                              @CaLviNx Thank you, then i think is everything ready. i startet to print a fanchroud out of ABS. im very curious how it comes out.

                              what would i have to change in my config.g to use a capazitive sensor with 3 wires ?

                              is the connection on the duet 3 like: +5V, GND, and io.in ?

                              what musst be changed in these lines ?

                              ; Z-Probe
                              M950 S0 C"io7.out"                                    ; create servo pin 0 for BLTouch
                              M558 P9 C"^io7.in" H5 F120 T6000                      ; set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds
                              G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z1.8                                 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
                              

                              the last point , i want to change my mechanical endstop switches to optical ones.
                              But what i am doing, the endstopps are lighting up but i cant get them to trigger.

                              i´ve got 2 different ones.

                              one with high level when no trigger
                              and one with low level when no trigger

                              2020-11-21_14h15_42.png

                              but i cant get the mo work

                                Im sorry i only used that type of Z sensor when i first started with the duet years ago, I found them to be very unreliable, they were very susceptible to temp changes , so I have forgotten how I wired them up. I only use the Duet IR sensor now

                                It would appear they would be as you say VCC, GND, SIG which would correspond with what you wrote.

                                there is a section in the Dozuki on Z-Probes

                                As for the optical end stops again I dont use them, I only use Omron mechanical switches, they operate fine even at high temps in a chamber.

                                You might try inverting the signal on either of those two switches to see if that gets them working, or another thing is to check to see what triggers them, i dont know they might be looking for a metal or a dark colour to trigger them if they are an optical IR sensor

                                    Well that's a touchy subject for me at the moment....

                                    I have 8 operational printers (and 1 core-xy in the build stage) at home, 6 of those that are running have Duet-3 's (with LC-1 tool-boards) 2 have Duet-2 wifi's installed.

                                    All have IR Sensors fitted. The Duet-2 machines are still running RRF-2 as they just run and run and print day in day out without issue and have ran for years and years without issue.

                                    The Duet-3 boards (all with LC1 Tool-boards) all suffer from an intermittent issue of the IR sensor triggering too soon (as in triggering when the head is about 20mm from the bed surface) doesnt happen all the time, you can boot and home and they home fine to the correct height. then you can go to home and the sensor triggers at 20mm again, I can overcome it by issuing a G92 Z30 command and manually driving the bed up very close to the head then homing Z again and this time it reads and prints correctly.(it is not the print surface as this happens on a few differing surfaces and if it was the print surface it wouldn't explain why it only happens intermittently)

                                    As of the other day i updated my boards (and tool boards) to the newest firmware and the issue seems to be gone but we will see.

                                    On the Duet-2's with older firmware, NO issues ever.

                                    And as much as I personally dont like the Bl-Touch (I dont like moving parts of the pin which can get bent, and I dont like the packaging issues in mounting it), I do have a genuine one here, I did test it when I started getting early trigger issues on the IR sensor and it worked fine.

                                        @Veti Thank you.

                                        Do you have an idea why I can't get optical switches to work? the LED on the sensor work and trigger, but the duet doesn't recognize it

                                          @CaLviNx WOW, 8 operationl Printers ? Thats amazing. Do you make a living out of printing ?

                                          Ok, good to know, i was thinking about getting one for testing purposes.

                                            Do you have an idea why I can't get optical switches to work? the LED on the sensor work and trigger, but the duet doesn't recognize it

                                            maybe you switched signal and ground. how did you connect it. the lerdge endstop work fine in my delta.
                                            btw only black objects will really block the light.
