Second Layer Off & Offsets Question
-
So I've had a few interesting troubles getting my idex going with the duet 3.
The first is that my offsets only seem to allow for a negative offset and not a positive one. No error happens when I start a print with a positive offset on an axis, but it pretends like they don't exist. I've managed to make it work but it is a bit of a pain and I wonder why that would be?
The second problem is that my second layer height is printing too high above the print bed. I kind of wonder if it is related to my babystepping or if it is related to my z offset.
The third problem is that if I pause and then restart a print, the z height seems to change. not by a lot... probably less than .5mm but it definitely does change. and happens every time I pause then start the print again on the first layer.

Hi,
I've re-posted your files using the </> tag - it saves folks the trouble of downloading your files.

thanks... hows that work? do i upload the file then put it in like this: "<download link>" or do i copy past the text in "<text>"?

You use the </> tag and paste your code between the two sets of ``` characters.

M308 S0 P"temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138 ; configure sensor 0 as thermistor on pin temp0
all your thermistor settings are incorrect. find the correct beta value in your thermistor documentation
also what firmware verion are you running? there were some bugfixes regarding offset of tools in the last update.
-
@Veti I'll look into the thermistors... they are performing great though and not really an issue... if i was printing anything but pla on this machine for work it'd probably be more critical.
the firmware is: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC 3.01-RC9 (2020-04-21b1)

please update to 3.2

@Veti Will do.... as soon as i figure out how. I've never actually used a pi before and I don't really understand how to send the "sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade" commands. is there a way to initiate that from the duet ui or do i have to find a way to plug in the pi to a screen and keyboard? -
-
but if you are not familiar with linux, why are you running the duet in sbc mode and not standalone mode?
-
@Veti honestly cause that seemed like it was the suggested way of doing it... the instructions as i understood them made standalone sound like a dated alternative.
-
its not dated at all and works quite well.
some say it runs better in standalone. -
@Veti okay the ssh instructions seem clear enough. i should be fine pulling that off.
