        Ian I have a 300x300mm machine with Volcano 0.8mm on it and stopped using this one because I cannot sustain the filament requirements πŸ™‚

        Of course I'm building a machine for each hotend type I have, so it's ok. And I have a big E3D box.

          So you wouldn't like my 350 x 375 x 750 with 5 colour Diamond that takes 5 reels at a time πŸ™‚ I also have a 0.9mm diameter Diamond but that's only 3 colour. I bought it for printing T Glass but having re-mortgaged the house to buy 3 reels of T glass, I'm saving it for something really special πŸ™‚

            Oh, I read your other comment about this. This was in response to that.

            I would love it, but I'd have to make a version with a 0.2mm nozzle for myself so that I could use 5 filament color scraps instead of 5 reels.

            If we count all my half-built/ torn apart frames, I now have 20 printers.

            Deltaprintr Delta Go
            Vslot Mini Kossel
            P3steel (makerfront i3, heavily modified)
            2 x Wanhao Duplicator i3 - heavily upgraded. First one just became my best printing machine, second one is getting a diy 4x y splitter like prusa multimaterial.
            Duplicator i3 Plus. On the list for modifications.
            3 custom designed sheet metal based on CNC machanics - this is the 300mm^3 frame.
            Also have 1 where this was a box frame from 20x40 extrusion instead of a folded sheet metal frame.
            Yellowjacket (small 200x200 of the same frame type)
            Still have the 80/20 Frame from the gmax I tried to build as my first printer.
            600x600mm frame from 20x40 vlsot
            5 frankenbot. Our clone of the old laser cut wood Printrbot Plus, BOM around $125.

            DICE.

            I spend over $250 buying 18kg of PLA at a time from Microcenter.

              right guys part cooling fan and abs seams to fail regardless of what I'm trying ? maybe its to powerful… ? print bite temperature settings ? bed 115deg and hot end 220deg ? what do you guys think to retraction settings ?

                    What firmware versions were you upgrading from and to? Did you read the upgrade notes first?

                            Yes, but now you will need to install the new DuetWiFiServer.bin by copying it to /sys on the SD card in a PC. The upgrade notes link to https://duet3d.com/wiki/Upgrading_to_DuetWiFiFirmware_1.19.

                                      just to isolate board issue i changed it out for my brand new duet wifi at the same problem is it because of the new firmware change ? i have a p100 temp sensor for the hot end and I'm using the on board thermistor connection next to the heated bed power out ?

                                        There was a firmware change in 1.19 that requires an M305 command in config.g for each thermistor channel you use. So if you don't have a M305 P0 command in config.g, you need to add one. For example:

                                        M305 P0 T100000 B3950

                                        Replace the B parameter by the B value of your bed thermistor, if you know it.

                                          Those settings worked a treat πŸ™‚ thanks

                                          few more things both printers both running the duetwifi seem to time out on the network intermittently need to power cycle to get them back on ?

                                          also an existing issue with print surface print bite is proving a nightmare right now resorted to playing to the one printer more tuned and to stick ! cleaned and wet paper towelled the bed to no avail needed printbite because the one printer is my production one and i wanted to just pull the parts off they need to be abs for the oil rigs only managed to send out 10 ! any other surfaces that are reliable tried buildtak but its to adhesive sometimes

                                            If Printbite behaves like PEI, then putting the bed + print in the freezer may help to release it.

                                            My favourite print surfaces are plain (uncoated) glass and PEI, however I only print PLA and occasionally PETG, and I haven't tried printing on PrintBite.

                                            Regarding lost network connections, see https://duet3d.com/wiki/WiFi_disconnections_and_AJAX_timeout_errors.
