      I wanted to share a video showing an additional axis on a delta functioning under Release 2.03RC1. Everything seems to be working as intended.

        Where did you get your smart effector mount from?

        Owns various duet boards and is the main wiki maintainer for the Teamgloomy LPC/STM32 port of RRF. Assume I'm running whatever the latest beta/stable build is

            Looks good! But can't the Bowden tube be made a lot shorter, if you tilt the extruder so that the filament outlet is horizontal or 45deg down, instead of what looks like 45deg up?

              I believe you're right on a lower angle. It was a big leap for me with all the added complexity - the extruder carrage falls when the motors are not energized pulling the effector down by the bowden. So I was playing it safe until I can work around that. I will probably end up moving the extruder mount to overhang the bed a bit and get the bowden angle closer to overhead.
              The firmware is really great - it basically just worked straight away with minor effort. I was shocked at it's ease of flexibility - and the added motion is highly enjoyable to watch! Thanks for developing the firmware this is great!

                @Hutch118 Hi, sorry to dig this up but did you ever publish your code or push it back?

                Thanks
