Smart Effector set

dc42

Yes I think that list is complete.

Regarding IR sensor availability, I don't know why they are showing as out of stock on duet3d.com. I have plenty available to order at escher3d.com. But of course a printer with the Smart Effector doesn't need an IR sensor.

Now i'm affarid to ask - SmartEffector….

i found on thу web that it works as a "strain gauge“, thus works with any surface (including glass)
the precision is about than 7 micron

is that correct? thanks!

dc42

The repeatability depends on the resolution and repeatability of your tower motors and mechanics too; but yes, that is correct.

David,

im trying to put the order in, there are 2 issues:

IR probe (for other printer) is listed as out of stock
i want to pay by UK bank transfer.

order is:

IR
PT-100 board
Delta Smart Effector + Options: 6 Spare Magballs + e3d V6 (no Heatsink, 24V e3d V6 with PT100

can you please email me your bank details for payment of £146.65
thank you!

dc42

I can supply the IR sensor because I manufacture them (see my site escher3d.com); but I am sorry, I can't help with the other items, which are supplied by Think3DPrint3d of behalf of Duet3D. They are closed until 2 January.

c310

that is ok. i can wait till Jan 2nd… please email me the invoice. thank you!

dc42

You will need to email info at duet3d dot come with a list of what you want to order; except that you can order the IR sensor direct from me at escher3d.com now if you wish.

what is a fan voltage and RPM ?
can we use 3-wire fan with speed sensor?

dc42

The fan voltage can be 12V or 24V, whichever you supply from the Duet. There is a 12V/24V jumper on the effector to adjust the lighting current for the supply voltage.

You can use a 3-wire fan if you leave the speed sense wire (normally yellow) disconnected.

David, 2 questions

motor question i moved to appropriate section https://www.duet3d.com/forum/thread.php?pid=36907#p36907
smart effector has heater cartridge….
what kind of power does it take? is it 2Amp??? (i need to purchase correct cable)

thanks!

dc42

The heater cartridge comes with the E3D hot end and is available in 12V and 24V versions. The current will be 1 to 2A for the 24V version, and 2 to 4A for the 12V version.

thank you!

i want to return unused 2-wire PT100 and get 4 wire version. how much that will cost?

dc42

E3D doesn't yet sell 4-wire PT100 sensors. What I recommend is to use a 2-wire sensor but to run 4 wires from the effector to the Duet.

c310

ok… is there any other place to buy 4 wire sensor?

dc42

We have discussed 4-wire PT100 sensors with E3D. However, the 2-wire version is more than accurate enough, and the Smart Effector lets you run 4 wires from the effector back to the Duet even when you are using a 2-wire PT100 sensor.

Synapsis

I was wanting to buy the PT100 Daughter Board and the PT100 sensor, is this all I need because I saw on E3d website the is a little board that come with the sensor. Is this the equivalent to the PT100 Daughter Borad?

Also is the another type osf sensor I could use on the hotbed with this board to have a better reading?

T3P3Tony

E3d have an analog PT100 amplifier to use with Electronics that don't have our nice PT100 daughter board.

To use a PT100 sensor with the Duet you need just the sensor and a daughter board.

You can use a PT100 on the bed as well if you like. The daughter board takes two sensors.

Deltasquare

I know I am bumping this, but nevertheless, dc42, can you explain why you would go for the 4 wire setup even though only tow wires are in use? Is there some fancy amplifying happening before the measurements leave the effector or is it a mere "4 wires are better than 2 over a distance"? And do I need to jumper the spots (labeled jumpered for 2 wire) on top of the effector if I do so?

dc42

If you use the 2-wire configuration then the resistance of the wires affects the temperature readings. AFAIR the reading increases by 0.4C per ohm of resistance. If you use the 4-wire configuration then the resistance of the wires gets cancelled out. That's the only difference.

The two "jumper for 2 wire" spots are already connected. They only need to be broken if you are using a 4-wire connection and a 4-wire PT100 cartridge.
