Anycubic linear plus duet Wi-Fi conversion
-
Hi all. Complete noob here ready to redo my delta with the duet 2 wifi board. As well doing some other non vital upgrades. I suspect I might be back here more than once asking for advice. I’ve read the other builds in this forum, and I hope I won’t have as much trouble as them
I’m on my first hurdle. My inherited power supply is a 12v 25a box with two reds and 2 black wires. Previous board had two set of connections for them. On the board it says benieth 5A and 11A. The cables seems the same, so when I had it hooked up, each connection set got a red and a black each, and that worked fine.
How do I make the power supply work with the duet board? Merge the blacks and the reds separately? I’m extending the wires as well, so I got a 16awg cable to use. Is 16 enough?
Just to add, it also has a heat bed. Maybe I should use the two sets of wires for power and heat Bed?
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
-
Yes, run all + outputs of the supply to the + on the Duet, and all - PS to - Duet.
16awg is OK-ish depending on your total amp draw, which is almost all bed heater and hot end heater. It could potentially be a little thin, if you were drawing right at the max for that power supply. Wouldn't hurt to go a little thicker. If you stick with 16, DO, absolutely do, take care to use well crimped "bootlace" connectors on everything. No solder, no bare wires, just crimped bootlaces. They handle the most current.
LOTS of ways to run the bed "semi separate", perhaps with an external mosfet or SSR, so we'd have to pick one to discuss it with any clarity.

Hi Danal. Feel like I know you from all the other Anypubic threads
I’ve opened the power adapter up and going to use insulated crimp ring connector to the power supply, and the ferrules that came with the kit.
Decided to do it properly, and ordered 12awg wire for the job as well.
Thanks!

Hi all. I got it all connected now, with good wiring, and have a few more issues;
My 7” touch screen is stuck on “connecting’, not showing any live data, using the send connection option.
When I try to autocalibrate, the 2-pin switch? that came along the printer, goes bang into the build plate. It doesn’t seem to react to the sensor being pushed. I tried pushing it manually On the way down, and that doesn’t stop it. However, when idling, I see it going from 0 to 1000 when I press the button, so it’s getting the signal.
The extractor temperature sensor doesn’t work. It worked before the upgrade. I tried to connect the hotbed temp sensor (that works) in the same spot, and still no luck, so it’s a setting or something.

The usual cause is a problem with the 4-way cable (or the ribbon cable, if you are using that instead) between the PanelDue and the Duet. The ribbon cable alone doesn't work on older Duet PCB revisions.
The other possible cause is mismatched baud rates. Both the Duet and PanelDue default to 57600.

Test your Z probe as described at https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe.
The extractor temperature sensor doesn’t work. It worked before the upgrade. I tried to connect the hotbed temp sensor (that works) in the same spot, and still no luck, so it’s a setting or something.
Please provide more detail. How have you connected the "extractor temperature sensor"?

Hi. Thanks for the response.
Touch screen issue is now resolved. It was the baud thing.
I went through the z-probe testing and calibration, and came through it to the end. I added the number I got with G30 S-1, to the G31 in config. Which was -0.554. But it still crashes into the bed. Does it matter that the magnetic sensor that came with the kit is positioned about 20mm under the nozzle? Is this something I should take in account?
Heat sensor. I’ve connected the extruded heat sensor to the E0 as well tried E1. Like this:
https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0ZJtdOXmJqWHBUAlso, the error message on the panel consol is; ‘Error: Temperature reading fault on heater 1: sensor short to other wiring’
Also, in regards of the z-probing, I tried to my bed config line by line, to see where the problem happens and it’s at line 8:
G30 P0 X0 Y0 Z-99999 -
Update. I tried connecting the extruder temp sensor to the hotbed pins, and that works. So I know the sensor is fine.
-
Update 2: I rebooted with the temp sensors disconnected, and I still get the fault on heater 1. Could this mean that the board is faulty?
-
Updated 3: temp issue on extractor is resolved. It was set up as the wrong type in config. Probably what the error message was reacting to.
-
Zprobe problem - I’ve switched to extruder end stop Mode 6. Exactly the same problem though. Sensor goes from 0 to 1000, but auto calibration grinds the plate.
-
Z-probe update; I changed the Z parameter to 100 (from -0.554) G31 in the config, just to see what happened, now it seems to work. I expected it to float way above the hotbed, but it didn’t. I do get a couple of “Error: Z probe already triggered at start of probing move”.
I’ve read the references of the G31 code, but don’t really understand it, and don’t know what ramifications having the Z set to 100 will have.
-
Ok. Think I got it figured out. The problem was in the top of the config under the delta config. The height was set to 400. I replaced this number after having done a homing, so I could see what my real height is. Funnily enough it says in the config it’s to replaced and was set artificially high.
This is now my new line;
;*** The homed height is deliberately set too high in the following - you will adjust it during calibration.
M665 R162 L268 B85 H295.75 ; Set delta radius, diagonal rod length, printable radius and homed height
