Switching to an Orbiter 2.0
-
have been using a E3D Titan for years on my Tevo Little Monster.
DWC 3.4 Paneldue 3.3 Duet3d Ethernet 2. I was installing my Orbiter 2.0.For initial testing I just have the orbiter hanging in the wind. Yes...brought the hot end up to temp I usually first calibrate my extrusion length without passing through the hot end, then verify all is well all hooked back up as ready to print.
I used the settings from [https://trianglelab.net/u_file/2112/11/file/Orbiterv20FirmwareConfiguration-031c.pdf](Triangle labs paperwork)
Those settings being:
Reprap Firmware Configuration:M350 E16 I1 ;micro stepping set to 16 with interpolation M92 E690 ;steps/mm - you may need to fine tune it M203 E7200 ;max speed mm/min M566 E300 ;instantaneous speed change mm/min M201 E10000 ;acceleration mm/s2 M906 E1200 I10 ;motor current 1.2A idle current 10% M572 D0 S0.02 ;pressure advance – to be calibrated M207 S1.5 F7200 Z0.2 ;firmware retraction
But it appears to just make the motor dance, not a smooth rotation (with stepper removed from the orbiter) doing a simple 1-5mm extrusion at 1mm/s via DWC screen.
After a moment or two...the Orbiter will start running faster and start heating up. This is a brand new Orbiter just received this evening, after having smoked the first one a day-2 ago, having gotten a 'short' error from the Ethernet2 board in DWC error (and a super hot motor) the first time I tried to test it. (yes that first stepper now has a bad coil)I reinstalled the old Titan, reset all the printer.cfg settings and that extruder runs just fine so apparently did not damage the Ethernet2 board.
So the question is...shouldn't I just be able to change the appropriate M commands in printer.cfg? nothing changes in firmware correct?
I've been away from RRF for a while working other projects. So I'm a tad foggy here. But this doesn't seem like it should be such a big issue. But I can't seem to get a simple stepper motor change to work!
HELP! -
@ptegler DOOOHL! (brain fart ol' age) forgot stupid 6 pin stepper motor connectors (uses 4 of 6 pins) or NOT straight across coil to coil.
1-4 is one coil and 3-6 is the other coil (2 and 5 are not used) So the little adapter I made to go from the original Duet3d cable to the Ethernet2 board, I connected wrong. Swapped the two center pins of the mating 6 pin adapter connector (3 &4) and viola'.
all is well.
....head back under my rock
oh...P.S. love the idea of mounting the Orbiter directly on the Smart Effector, even printed up and had it mounted. But I've found higher speeds with less vibration artifacts leaving the extruder 'flying' as designed by the TEVO team (with my own adaptation to the flying bridge of course) works much better with lass mass to sling aroundptegler
