Ender 5+ Beginner need a hand before start up. :)
-
I've been reading up on as much as I can about upgrading to the duet2 wifi on my ender 5 plus. I know there's other posts about this topic so I'll keep it .... Eh whatever. I would like someone to look over my config files if you'd be so kind and let me know if there's anything I might need to fix before I plug everything in and fire it up.
I would pay someone to do it all as I have no idea what I'm doing. This is a new hobby but I need this particular machine for prototyping a few inventions I have, so I'd like not to blow it up. I'm mechanically minded so this has been really tough for me thus far.
Anyway, here you go. And thank you in advance. And please let me know if there's anything I'm missing you might like to see.
(Upgrades, all metal hot end, direct drive. Will be adding 60w heater cartridge, ktype PT1000 thermistor for PC printing.)

Double check you steps/mm for the micro-stepping you have chosen Z looks wrong and I have no way of knowing if E is right. In my 5+ the motors run the other way but that might just be how you have the wires attached or the difference between the Duet2 and a Mini 5+.
And you're not running independent Z motors and that's fine but you should look into doing it. once you get this config working. My 5+ one side sags a bit every time I power down so its really nice to be able to tram it when I start up.
Other than that I don't see anything that look horrible. This should get you up and running and then pick an area and tweak it til you like it and then pick another thing. Homing speed. Bed Leveling etc...

@shifu87 said in Ender 5+ Beginner need a hand before start up.

M92 X160.00 Y160.00 Z800.00 E407.43 ; set steps per mmI would suggest you run with x16 microstepping with interpolation enabled. You're not gaining anything from using higher with interpolation disabled except more motor noise.

Wow thanks for the quick replies!
I'll be keeping this on hand so others with otherwise stock printers can defence and use my settings. Hopefully no one has to be afraid of this install anymore.Time to set those z motors and get that interpolation reversed and off we go! I'm excited thank you again!
But I'm wondering if it's really necessary to set them as independent. Lake you stated @Nurgelrot you have an issue with one of them out pacing the other, I would imagine that's because they aren't directly linked step per step? Idk just a question not an assumption.

@shifu87 The issue is when the motors are not powered the can free spool and the weight of that 360mm bed can make one side or the other drop. Anti backlash nuts help with this but its not a 100% fix. Also when you power the motors back on they will jump to the nearest step. Over time this drift will make your bed not level to the x axis anymore and you have to manually correct it. With two Z controllers you can let your probe and a macro just fix it for you from time to time.
