Trying to set up Duet WiFi in very small increments.
-
I'm using an E3D V6 clone hot end with an Amazon extruder. It was supposed to be a Bowden extruder (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06XPFSY3F/?coliid=IX8CW2V5YGT0R&colid=38O416I9FE2TM&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it) but I took the pneumatic fitting out, and instead, I ran a 1/4" NPT to 3/8" hose barb fitting. I put the hose barb into a 6mm thread die, so it is now a 6mm male thread to 1/4" male NPT adapter. The V6 clone had a 1/4" BSPT pneumatic adapter in it. BSPT and NPT are close enough to thread into each other, though the threads will not seal, due to a slightly different cut angle on the threads.
The leadscrew printer has only ever printed PETG. I have never put PLA or ABS through it. It does stick to the heat block and nozzle quite a bit, no idea what it's doing inside, but I imagine that it comes out pretty quickly when filament is changed, it's all just melted plastic after all.
On my MBot printer, I have tried running PETG, but have never managed a successful print through that hot-end. Trying never seemed to hurt the PLA or ABS that I run through that printer though, and it doesn't seem to need any longer to purge any remaining colour.

Well, this may have been for nothing. Something happened a few minutes ago. I was at my desk with my back to work bench. The Duet was on but not doing anything while I read documentation. I heard a small pop and found that now, I can not connect to it or ping it. The wifi blue light is on and solid and all the other lights are are on, but no go.

@supraguy said in Trying to set up Duet WiFi in very small increments.:
You can see that the accel/jerk values slow down the honeycomb infill a little.
You might be interested in trying gyroid infill. It may be better or it may be worse. The change in direction is more gradual, but then maybe the higher speeds would fair worse with the rotational momentum of the lead screws.
One other thing I've found to help with PETG infill and keeping it off the nozzle is to set infill to every other layer or more to let it lay down at a higher layer height.

@crchisholm Sorry to hear that.

@dc42 Edited for clarity
My Duet (or at least the wifi module) seems to be dead. I have contacted my reseller, but so far only get a recording and no call back. Email faired no better. I will give it more time to see what happens (have no choice).
