      But moving the thermocouple wires away from the other wires didn't help
      Only one of the thermocouples for the right extruder now is working correctly, but i can't say exactly what helped, maybe i crimped it better. Although it still can catch the interference from the other thermocouple, even if using it alone does not provoke interference
      They are still near the drives on the head, and i think that is where they pick this interference

      I wonder if using a thermistor will help
      Flexion extruder allows to install it, and the board has ports for temp sensors

        recrimping didn't help, i think I'll have to go with the thermistor
        that way i will not need a daughterboard and i guess that might help

          Captain's log
          Installed and configured thermistor NTC 3950
          Now I don't see 2000 degrees when extruding or retracting filament

          But my printer shuts down in a minute after that and then it is trying to restart over and over again, until I turn it off and turn on again

            It seems that @dc42 helped me again, even without saying a thing)
            I found my answer here https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/15897/duet-wifi-resetting-part-way-through-prints/30
            I disabled endstops, and it seems that the problem is solved
            Though I need to wire the endstops properly

                Sooo, I did recrimp endstops
                Thought now it is ready to go,
                connected Cura via plugin OK
                Started to heat the bed
                After the extruder fan started to work the printer started to restart again
                Then in a few minutes, after the printer cooled down, I thought I'll try to change some settings for fans
                But the printer began to restart in an idle mode. I did nothing, and it started its disco.

                Now I don't know what can be the problem
                Maybe something should be done to a board fan frequency, that is the only thing working when the printer is idle

                  Ok I started from scratch
                  I think the problem was with the board loosely fixed, it might have touched some parts of the case
                  I also checked all the wires and reinserted them, trying to fix them as tight as possible
                  Now it seem to work

                  Started the test print, I'll write an update after that
                  For now I hear the sound of silence and it is great
                  I'll have to change the coordinates though, the print started on the corner of the build plate

                      Finally it is working
                      Though I need to adjust tool offsets a bit more
                      And I also had to change the cooling fan number in cura settings for every extruder to the pin number of the fan (in my case fan #3)
                      And I need to try dual extruder printing

                      Thank you all who helped me achieve this.
                      Hope my story will help somebody)

                      I'll publish my design for the Big Dipper holder and my configs a bit later.

                        Configs have to be refined, so I will post them some time in the future

                          New update:
                          After some prints, I saw issues with layers positioning at different heights. Tried to tighten the belts aaand my printer stopped working)

                          For some reason the problem occured only when the bed was heating, so I recrimped the thermistor, because I made a mistake and the cables were in reverse order. Then I recrimped the bed power cables that are connected to the PSU. And I did that for a week or even more every evening)
                          I found out that I used 1.27 mm2 cable for bed power and that I had to use the right crimper tool
                          And I tried and tried, again and again to crimp even better
                          Until I checked the bottom of the board holder and found out that extruder cables touched the screw
                          I guess that was enough to short the board
                          My board firmware even got corrupted and I had to reflash it via USB
                          It even stopped connecting via serial port, only direct USB download of the .uf file helped me

                          Then i also had to fix other cables as well that touch the closing door of the bottom side of the printer

                          So I write this to warn you to be careful with your wiring)

                          But I still have this issue with my layers though. So I will continue to look for a solution.

                          Also I took the opportunity and installed the Z-probe, though I need a holder to start using it
                          And I haven't configured it yet

                          Also I found some useful resources along the road
                          For example a video about crimping -

                          And a guide with pictures how to wire a dual extruder printer to the Big Dipper
                          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZOh1NzqzzU
                          Although the cooling and board fans seem to be wired incorrectly there

                            I guess another problem is with my power supply like @garyd9 had when turning on the bed heater
                            https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/3553/converting-a-flashforge-creator-pro-to-use-duet/3

                            I wonder what should I take into account if I want to use a 500w 24v PSU
                            Should I replace the original 1.5 mm2 power cables?
                            Will the board survive the current?

                            PS: it is interesting that I had some almost successful prints even with a 320w PSU
                            Although there were signs of missed steps

                              Ok, I think the PSU was not a problem, because I get shutdowns even with the 500w PSU after trying to run a bed heater. Though I had some restarts in the idle mode too. Also after the shutdown it was hard to recover on the old PSU. With a new PSU it's the board manages to restart. Or maybe I crimped the wires a bit better now, but not enough for the bed heating

                              Two times I managed to catch an error Vdd Brownout

                                @Inlinebrother although your board is a big dipper as it uses the same MCU, dc42 may be interested in the output of the hard fault issue.
                                Please see the thread here https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/36689/random-hard-fault-resets-on-duet-3-mini-wifi/

                                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

                                  @jay_s_uk Hi, thank you, I updated my config file, and if I encounter HardFault again I will definitely write back

                                    Next update:
                                    So I received better crimping tools for ring connectors and ferrules, and I am pretty sure they should not be the problem

                                    But the nature of the problem is EMI I think

                                    For some time now I had a suspicion that the original board was grounded and that might be the issue
                                    The case itself is connected to the PSU ground, and i checked with multimeter that the screws my holder is connected to the case with are connected to the ground, but the board is connected to the plastic holder and not the grounded case
                                    Today I tried to connect one of the screws to the ground, and I think that did help a bit
                                    But still there is a lot of current when the target temperature is reached and the power is turned on/off multiple times
                                    Next time I think I'll try to connect all possible screws of the board to the ground or to the grounded case

                                      Grounding two screws that are near the power line seem to be helping

                                        But that wasn't the solution for the problem
                                        It did help to protect the board and it stopped to restart, but now I heard a sound of a breakdown, so I have to continue my search

                                          I installed the default 320w psu and now it seems to work without any extra sounds

                                            So now the board is able to heat the bed and start to print
                                            But the board shuts down after several minutes of printing
                                            I even grounded the extruder, but that didn't help a lot

                                            I wonder what I did wrong
