Duet3D PCB delta printer effector sneak preview
-
David that is excellent news.
So I guess we are talking about 2-3 weeks for them to be available then?
Doug

Ahhhhh I need one lol
-
i really love the design and the light weight
now it will be great to have piezo sensor available for this effector with nimble it could be a beast combo -
It's a secret until we start shipping them.
does it will be compatible with smoothieware software?
i hope uk shipping cost will not killing us..(it so expansive..) -

i hope uk shipping cost will not killing us..(it so expansive..)It should work with other electronics and firmware if you accept the default sensitivity. Whether that will work for you depends on the level of vibration of the effector during probing.

Yes Dougal1957 has a Nimble mounted on it and indeed, it is a great combo.
His pictures of the combination are on page 6 of this thread, as is the link to the adapter he used.Lykle

I too will be doing the same as doug, adapter is already ordered from shapeways lol just need dc too send me an effector lol wink wink , can't wait too be fair it is a fantastic bit of kit and very good at probing from what I have seen from Doug's pictures.

thanks great
but does it will be better than a simple micro switch accuracy?
does it piezo or other way sensor? -

does it piezo or other way sensor?From what I have seen of mesh bed comp between piezo and dc effector it wins hands down, I know doug has had experience with piezo and dc effector and he can't praise it enough. Getting to 0.002 dev on his tests

do you have an idea about the cost for a kit?
i will buy one for my delta xxl project +nimble -
thanks great
but does it will be better than a simple micro switch accuracy?
does it piezo or other way sensor?Yes it will work better than a microswitch. I don't expect there to be any significant difference between the reproducibility of our effector and that of a piezo mounted in the hot end, if both are set up correctly.

Yes we can do 0.002 probing standard deviation too. If you're talking about 0.002 delta calibration deviation, then you'll need a very precise machine as well as a very precise probe, but the two go hand in hand. So far when you get to these levels of precision no previous probing tech, really enabled us to see whether the printer needed tweaking or the probe was just too vague. Now we can see the difference.
To be fair the sensing modality between our system and T3P3/DC's is very similar technology. I am quite sure DC and Tony will have done a lot of work on making it strong, reliable and above all reasonable to manufacture. The key question is cost. Given the accuracy/operation is likely to be very similar.
I think the market is quite big enough for two nozzle contact sensors. If you are using the PCB effector then you'll be using the nozzle contact sensor which comes with it too. If you are not then our sensors are an option.
But if you still think you can compete with this type of nozzle contact tech with an IR, inductive, capacitative, BL touch, deployable probes etc, then think again.

Simon I have achieved a delta calibration this morning of 0.003 with the PCB effector.
-
The best I'm managing is 0.007 regularly I've seen lower but this is a lot to do with the mechanical precision of the machine, the probes are accurate enough.
So well done. It's a great result.

How does your setup do with Russ's probing accuracy test? https://www.duet3d.com/forum/thread.php?id=1330&p=1
-
mine have been 0.006-0.007 until this morning haven't up;oaded the stuff to russ's test to be fair but once I get fully sorted I will upload them
