Probably a dumb question.

Is there a possibility to have 2 options for autocalibration? I have doors on my printer and when the doors are closed I have a printable diameter of 20 cm. When the doors are opened I have a printable diameter of 30 cm.

Is it easy to swap between 2 different sizes for autocalibration?

Everything arrived I'll be changing everything on Sunday (I hope).

Yes, just create a copy of bed.g with the dimensions changed, put it in your /macros folder, and run it to auto calibrate with those dimensions.

Next question, I can't find an answer for.

I have the following on my printer
-3 ledstrips connected to 1 connector (always on fans)
-1 fan at the board connected to always on fans
-1 fan for the hotend connected to fan0
-3 fans for cooling the print connected to 1 connector connected to fan1

I'd like to have the following
Leds always on, Board Fan always on, hotend fan on when printing, print fans controlled by slicer off when printer is powered on

How do I do this?

Thanks

I suggest you swap the Fan0 and Fan1 connectors. Fan0 defaults to being the slicer-controlled print cooling fan, and Fan1 defaults to being a thermostatic hot end fan.

I powered up my ethernet board.

First thing, no network connection.
Because the Ip adres is hard coded to 192.168.1.14, and my subnet is 47.
So I had to change the IP adres to 192.16..47.80

I tried to calibrate.
My Z-probe sensor isn't installed yet.
I tried the manual calibration(Pressed Delta Calibration on the Machine Control), but that gives me only the possibility to change the X value, not the Z value.
Then I tried this http://www.escher3d.com/pages/wizards/wizarddelta.php and used the G-console. After calibrating things are even worse.

Is there a way to do manual calibration?

Which versions of the main firmware and Duet Web Control are you using? You need to use more recent main firmware or an older version of Duet Web Control.

RKS7204

I'm using
Firmware Electronics: Duet Ethernet 1.0
Firmware Version: 1.19 (2017-08-14)
Web Interface Version: 1.19

Hello,

Great board, first print came out and was excellent.
No elephant feet, and the only noise is from the fans.

dc42

Please upgrade to 1.19.2 and DWC 1.19.3 from https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases.

Hi probably a dumb question, the z probe offset is related to the nozzle or to the center of the head?

dc42

It's relative to the head reference point (HRP), so are the nozzle offsets you specify in the G10 command(s). You can choose the HRP to be wherever you like; but in a printer with just one nozzle it would be unusual not to chose the nozzle location as the HRP.

RKS7204

Is there any documentation available? Couldn't find it.

G31 is what you need https://duet3d.com/wiki/G-code#G31:_Set_or_Report_Current_Probe_status

I ment documentation on setting the head reference point.

dc42

You don't set the head reference point, you choose it and then set the nozzle and Z probe offsets relative to it.

RKS7204

If I understand it correctly, it's like this:

My nozzle has an offset of 9 mm X direction to the center of the head.
I can choose the reference point where I want.
For 1 nozzle that would be the nozzle.
How does the printer know it has an offset of 9 mm?
And this is important for the build plate, how do I eliminate the 9mm offset in X direction. Like I have now.

When I add the 2nd nozzle,
I can choose to keep the HRP on nozzle 1, and give nozzle 2 an offset of -18 mm.
or I can set the HRP in the center of the head and gibe both nozzles a +/- 9mm offset.

dc42

Once you have chosen the HRP, you can use the M208 S0 and M208 S1 commands to define the bed limits and your X and Y homing positions in terms of that point. That's how to get rid of your 9mm offset.
