Duet3D PCB delta printer effector sneak preview
-
We already know they'll be available when they'll be available, no need to echo…
I too would appreciate a time estimate as I'm currently looking for a new effector. Something like "probably within a week / few weeks / this month / before Christmas" would suffice just to give me a rough factor to work with and narrow down my choices.
If the team doesn't want to give out specifics for whatever reason (lack thereof, refraining from giving out guesstimates, strategic reasons, or such) knowing that could be helpful too.
No pressure, just my two cents' worth of idle talk.
Whether I'll be getting this particular effector plate (or system) or not, I'm excited to hear about people's experiences and measurements when the availability extends beyond beta testers. Some of the technology coming lately from the team working on Duet has me thinking these guys might go far and - more importantly - have the agility to keep up pace with the competition (present or future).

Probably within a week, barring unforeseen circumstances.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll be holding on then.
-
Not having a board, that is kinda tricky, but I think it is OK, looking at the photos.
Thanks for the measurements.I hope this helps a bit more:
-
I thought they were only going on the shop when ready, I can see the addons and can add to cart but still saying out of stock
-
It seems that this is the first public picture of the bottom side of the printed circuit board with sensor electronics
Unfortunately, the quality of the photo is very poor and labels of IC chips are not visible.UPD: SmartEffector is called as StrainEffector 1.3 on PCB silkscreen. Maybe this is the key to unraveling the way of bed probing?
-
I had 50mm for some time, but I like the 40mm compact size, same as classic 40mm fans, but it can be put alongside the e3d for a narrow design. If you take time to search you'll find ones with more than 10CFM
A 40mm blower fan would certainly fit better than 50mm. I had ordered the 50mm, as it is what it on the Prusa i3 MK2 I have, and it does a fantastic job. If I can find a 40mm with a healthy CFM, that would certainly fit better on my T3P3 Kossel Mini.
Here's one possible contender (at 12V) - showing 9.5 CFM.

Why do you want to unravel the thing ? are you looking to reverse engineer it to rip the technology off or something ?

It's just curiosity, nothing more. It seems strange to me that it is so carefully hidden. I'm just happy Duet user and don't want to rev. engineer anything

All will be revealed when we start shipping.

Does it mean we will see them in stock today seeing as before we were told they will show on site when there available

They won't be in stock until next week. I put the listing up to answer some questions about the cost.

Ahhh ok thanks

Glad to hear it! And could I order 12 not 6 Magballs as spare addon?

Off-topic but I found your question of "why" strange. Like we're unraveling the order of nature just to rip it off. It's funny because it's true.
I've gotten the impression that the people behind Duet are very OSS/RepRap-minded, a central point of which is "ripping off" without shame. Maybe your second sentence suggested commercial purposes, but that's quite a leap to infer from a mere motivation to figure out and understand how something works. -

As Dougal already pointed out the information as to how the unit operates was ALREADY revealed.

Only conceptually if my memory and attentiveness serve me right. I think that's beside the point anyway.
My point was that some people enjoy tearing down and reverse-engineering devices built by others, and I found your question strange especially in the broader context of 3d-printing which as a hobby still involves a lot of DIY, tinkering and generally; involvement.

Thanks. Been looking for a fan like that for a while.

The Last missing part of the puzzle (for me anyway) I have highlighted, I need the distance from the centre of the hole to the short edge of the effector
Please accept my apologies if it's out there and I have missed it
