Event\trigger for following the Z position on Delta
-
Hi, can someone tell me if there is an easy way to have some kind of Gcode script event that could trigger a motor movement of the Duet base upon the position of the virtual Z position on a delta printer using a DuetWifi controler.
I have a camera on the Z axis rig to an linear stage, I would like the camera to follow the Z printing position but not necessarily on 1 to 1 ratio

@frcwifiduet Set the camera on it's own axis. In Prusa Slicer, use the before or after layer change to add the gcode or macro to move the camera. Other slicers should have something like that. You'll need to use homing or a macro to home the camera.

@stephen6309 Thank. but I would have prefer something build in the Duet like a external script auto triggered. Because if I use many slicer or config this setting becomes annoying to include in each config

@frcwifiduet yes you can configure a 4th axis on a delta printer coupled to Z movement. this has been done in the past to hold an extruder but i suppose no reason not to use it for a camera.

@t3p3tony who's to say that the extruder would not be sided close to the camera

@frcwifiduet You could use deamon.g to move the camera on layer change, job.layer shows the layer.
