Duet Wifi and Flashforge Creator pro
-
So I bit the bullet and treated myself to a Wifi Duet to controll my FFC pro, sorry if I may sound a bit of a noob but I finally got the board to work in a fashion from my friend and also from Jeff on this forum. The thing that iv'e noticed is in Simplify 3D the object is facing the wright way i want it to, but when printing It's the opposite way round. So I went back to S3D and changed it in Mesh and mirrored the X and Y to get it on screen the same layout as printing one and guess what, It changed direction on print bed. Maybe Iv'e missed somthing out in the config.g. But I don't want to mess too much with somthing I'm not to sure about. Any help would be great.
Cheers
Rob

Also I'm running it on Marlin. Is this correct?
-
When you use the jog buttons to move the head and bed around, do they move in the direction you expect? For most Cartesian printers this is:
+X direction => head moves towards the right
+Y direction => head moves towards the rear, or bed moves towards the front
If you are having to mirror prints, then one of these is probably the wrong way round.

Also I'm running it on Marlin. Is this correct?

Ok that sounds good. But as I'm looking at the printer the X endstop is on the right hand side and the Y is at the back on the left. So when I home all the head ends up back right if that makes scence.
-
So you need to reverse the X motor direction in the M569 P0 command, change the X endstop configuration in the M574 command to be a max endstop instead of a min endstop (use X2 instead of X1), and change the homex.g and homeall.g files to home towards maximum X instead of minimum.
-
Ok, so jog X+ it moves to the right towards the endstop and when home x it meets the endstop.
When Y+ is pressed the carrige comes towards me now away from endstop. When I homw Y it meets the endstop.
When I go to print It looks like the Y is mirrored and still printing from the back of the machine.

Did you change the M569 P1 command as well as the M569 P0 command? If so, you should have left it alone i.e. M569 P1 S1 so that +Y moves the print head towards the back (or moves the bed towards the front if the bed moves in the Y axis).

Hi Rob,
I also own a FFCP which was converted to DuetWifi.
Here is how my Simplify3d GCODE tab look like:
My home position is at the rear-right corner of the bed.
and this is my config.g file:

Hi Guyaros. Thank you very much for taking up your time with sharing your config.g file with me. It's been very frustraring few days for me as I got given a full file for the FFC pro by Jeff and i managed to mess things up with it. A big learning curve for me with the Duet, but I'm going to persevere with it and learn the setting up of It, as I've started to knock up a homemade corexy.
I'm doing some test prints with it now, so I will report with results and many other questions that I know I will have, so glad iv'e joined this forum, It's good to know there is alot of support here.
Many thanks
Rob

Hi Rob,
I'm glad I could help.
It does take some learning curve the learn how to handle the Duet.
fortunately, the DuetWiki is very informative, and I would recommend you to invest some time in reading the wiki.
Also, the support in the forum is superb, so I am sure you will be able to make your machine print excellent models very soon.
