Dual Z options for Duet Wifi
-
Hello,
I have been researching some options for Dual Z with a Duet Wifi. I don't really expect it to do too much for my printer, but I do love tinkering with the mechanical options
I think there are 3 options for the Duet Wifi?
-
use the secondary port (located under Z slot)
-
use E1
-
use a splitter cable
To use the full advantage of Z compensation you would need to use E1 as an independent Z2?
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Bed_levelling_using_multiple_independent_Z_motorsHas anyone used E1 with multiple probe points before? how well does it work for you?
Also I would assume the splitter cable although is convenient is overall the worst option of the bunch since we have onboard options with the Duet.
Would also rather not have to crash home similar to what I hear the Prusa printers and at least my Ender5+ has to do to keep everything in sync from time to time. That is why the multi z probing has peaked my interest.
Thanks

@jnofsinger if you go for using the second z port or a splitter cable, both of those options are not prevented from going out of sync.
The best option is using E1 and then a z probe to level the bed/gantry pre print
