Check what thermistor is really used for the bed. I think it's not the correct one.

@Quattro said in Noob building a HEVO in need of help.:

The sensor is connected like this, but the power goes to the 5V ext/fan output.

I'm not shure where you have puged power of the probe.
I would suggest to plug it in the +5V for PanelDue

And also check if the diode is in correct direction.

For the bed.

Looks to me like your bed heater needs to be tuned.

M303 H0 P1.0 Swhatever temperature you usually print

Then take the values it returns and put it in the M307 in your config.g as the A, C, and D parameters.

Heater 0 model: gain 129.7, time constant 343.8, dead time 1.0, max PWM 1.00, calibration voltage 23.7, mode PID
Computed PID parameters for setpoint change: P463.5, I24.749, D331.1
Computed PID parameters for load change: P463.5, I93.008, D331.1

Because the bed heating did not work with this command.

(Black cable) Signal connected to "Z PROBE IN"

(Brown and blue) Power connected to fan output (always on fan, measured 4.86V)
The probe does read "Current reading 1000, threshold 500, trigger height 4.000, offsets X21.0 Y0.0" with G31 now.

It's a cheap Chinese probe, so it might be crap, but I expect it to work.

So I think the part where I could support you is working.

As mentioned I have never set up sensorless homing.
But I have realized that the stall detection M915 is missing in config.g
I think you have found that?

Good and bad news. I got the probe to work. It is a 6-36V probe, not 5V as advertised. Its working on 24V. Should the non triggered value be "0" and the triggered value "1000"? The probe does not read thru the glass and down to the alu bed. Do i need to change to a BL touch? Is it reliable to manually adjust the springs on the bed and run without a Z-probe?

@Quattro said in Noob building a HEVO in need of help.:

Detail of the guide:
"HIGH during probing, LOW at other times"
I would expect that is correct.
Have you tried to remove the glass and maybe stick some tap on the alu plate?

Edit:
I'm a satisfied BlTouch user

[Quattro]

I have attached the belt to the X Y assembly and I am trying to home the X-axis. I had to change the homex.g and congig.g according to https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Stall_detection_and_sensorless_homing
But I can't figure out why the motor keep "skipping" for so long. After some time it is detecting stall and runs the next g-code. I did try a few S-values. I get G28 X Error: Homing failed.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

NPN-output sensors are usually active low, so you need to invert the input to get a reading of 0 when not triggered and 1000 when triggered. How you do this depends on whether you are using RRF2 or RRF3.

Capacitive sensors can usually detect glass beds. Inductive sensors don't detect glass, and may have difficulty detecting aluminium below glass. They work best on steel and other magnetic materials.

Thank you. I will use the aluminium bed with a glued on sheet to start with.

I got the X and Y homing to work with info from this forum thread: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/4830/sensorless-homing-oddness/2

The X-axis moves to the left with "- moves" but the y-axis moves further away with "- moves" that must be wrong, how do i invert only ones axis without changing the X-axis? Now i am trying to make the z-homing work ... EDIT: I got the z-homing to work!

I got the printer working!

But then it follows a bunch of new questions.

1: I am struggeling with first layer adhersion. Do i set z=0 with a paper between the bed and the nozzle?

2: The print with PLA is sticking to the bed, but I am struggeling with PC. PC is sticking to the nozzle. Is this taped on bed sheet bad?
This is PC.

3: The probe seems to measure inconsistent depending on temperatur. Is it because I have a cheap probe, or should they only be used for low temp printing? PC is printing at 260C hot end and 90C bed temp.

4: How do i set up time left the right way? After some time the countdown seems to be on point.

5: This is my temporary rigged extruder and filament holder.
Any suggestion how I should change this setup for a direct extruder? I am going to heat up the chamber and have the filament inside the case.

6: How do you guys attach the cables for the hot end, to the case?

7: I am struggeling with the setup for bed mesh leveling.
The probe won't measure more to the left than this. If I change the probe X-offset from minus to plus, then I can. What is wrong?

8: Should i use set up m671 to get better compensation for the prints?

9: The parts are printing to small. Where is the best place to calibrate the print size? I printed a cylinder with Ø: 25mm and height 25mm and the part became Ø: 24.56mm and height: 25mm.

10: Does the g-code for the test print seem OK?

But then it follows a bunch of new questions.

1: I am struggeling with first layer adhersion. Do i set z=0 with a paper between the bed and the nozzle?

No. You use the paper method to level/tram the bed because it's easier to adjust for even drag than for nozzle touching bed. The nozzle should just touch the bed when you set z to 0.

3: The probe seems to measure inconsistent depending on temperatur. Is it because I have a cheap probe, or should they only be used for low temp printing? PC is printing at 260C hot end and 90C bed temp.

Capacitative and inductive probes are temperature sensitive. You should probe at the bed temp you intend to print at.

4: How do i set up time left the right way? After some time the countdown seems to be on point.

The times are estimated based on file processed/filament used/layers printed. It usually takes some time for these to smooth out and converge because initial layers print slow and use more filament per layer than higher ones with less infill. If you want a better estimate, make sure your slicer knows your printers acceleration limits, which makes the slicer estimate more accurate (but it disregards heatup time). You can also simulate a file uploaded which should give you a decent estimate as well.

[oliof]

Bonus answer to question 7: the probe offset is plus X when it's to the right of the nozzle. The value is the distance to the nozzle, or how you would need to move the nozzle to get to where the probe is.

[Quattro]

New parts installed, and new problems.

I have changed to a e3d Hemera with vulcano hot-end and 40w heater, duet magnetic filament sensor, Piezo Orion, PT100 with duet daughterboard. The magnetic filament sensor is not setup yet.

1: I need help with the piezo. I have changed the config.g and got it working, but only when i tap the hotend. When I try to home Z the bed is pushing the nozzle and extruder up. It does only trigger with a tap, not bending slow upwards. If I change the sensitivity on the board it triggers of the machine it self. I did try to increase the speed on the z-motors, but it seems like I can't get them to move any faster. What should i try?

3.3V / V+ Red wire
GND black wire
Sig Green wire

2: The PT100 is working, but if I touch or bend the cables on the sensor it shows 2000 C on the display and the fan starts to run. Can this problem only be intermittent connection? Sometimes it shows the wrong temp aswell, like 46C when it should be 23C/ room temp.

M558 P8 C"zprobe.in" I1 R1 F3000 X0 Y0 Z1

You should remove the X0 Y0 Z1 as that's not been used for quite some time.

You've got a probe speed of 3000, and your config has M203 Z3000 as the limit, but is it actually moving that fast?

You're also missing a travel speed so try adding T6000 to your M558.

You should also consider lowering the Z axis motor current during the homing routine to reduce the risk of damage if it doesn't trigger.

It sounds like you have a bad connection with the PT100. Could be damage at the cartridge or the connector plug, or even the wire.

I have removed "X0 Y0 Z1" now. I can't see a difference on the bed speed when i changed the F-value. I added the T-value now and the bed moves fast, but it still crashes with the nozzle. The Piezo is very sensetive to vibrations and taps, but does not trigger when pushed. I installed one rubber damper on each z-motor, and the vibrations became worse.

The cable on the PT100 broke off inside the connector today. I have installed a thermistor for now, but i can't find all the values I need. Should I use 4300 as the B value? What about C and H?

The Z speed is limited in M203 as well as set by M558, so if you want to raise it you'll need to raise it in both places.

If your thermistor is from e3d, see here for the settings: https://e3d-online.dozuki.com/Guide/V6+RepRap+Firmware+Configuration/26?lang=en

This is the kind of document I was looking for. Yes, I got the bed moving fast, but the piezo won't trigger when the nozzle hits the bed now either. I am going to send an email to them and see if they got any suggestions for me.

Time for an update! Good and bad news as always.

I have had a lot of strange software bugs in the past.
1: The wifi won't always connect, I have to restart the printer
2: The axis won't home every time I try, sometimes there is no reaction, I have to restart the printer
3: I got some strange error in my macro files. It's not actually errors. The macro files were overwritten with these two lines.
Load and unload filament: Error: Bad command: {"main":{"language":"en":, "lastHostname":"192.168.1.38","darkTheme":false, "useBinaryPrefix":true
G29 macro ; Unload 20mm filament G1 E-20 F2000me":"192
I changed the load and unload manually and the commands are working again. The G29 macro was deleted.
4: The printer does not load the configs on the SD card always, I have to restart the printer and take the SD card out and in.
This is the error message that was generated in the load and unload filament macro.

The printer is up and running with a Hemera, IR probe, PT100, magnetic filament sensor and a chamber heater. I never got the Piezo to work with my setup. The enclosure is painted white to reflect a light source inside. Plexi glass and 4mm plywood. Magnetic door "lock".

The chamber heater connected with a SSR relay controlled by the Duet.

During the building process.

I made a cable support and the filament holder with bowden holder.

This is where i noticed the wobbling.

Next on the list:

• Further adjustments to get better print quality. I have already reduced wobbling.
• Prototype a new version of the extruder mount. I am losing to much space in the axis because of the size of the Hemera.
• Buy linear rails. The x and y rods are flexing.
• Buy and install LED light inside the enclosure. Any tips?
