Does homey by itself work properly?

twistedechos

home x and y work well but where should x home be it is at the front right atm and y pounces when i click home z and when i say bounce i mean it tries to go past boundarys

Phaedrux

Sorry I'm on the road at the moment so I any take a closer look. But I suggest you go through the testing endstops and homing links above to work it through. You'll have to flip a direction or change a positive or negative sign maybe

next question how dose it know where the print bed is?

twistedechos

i cant figure it out i really just want to start printing agian

twistedechos

OMG!! i got it it homes very nice now here are the files for everyone to use ctc bizer should also work on replicator 2 good luck guys

also @Phaedrux i should be able to print now right?

twistedechos

dang i still need to figur out the fans on the extruders could it be cus they are 24v and not 12v the psu is 24v but maybe the board puts out 12v to fans?

twistedechos

ok got think i got the fans working but i dont know what is going on with the heaters i put new ones in and it is still telling me there is a fault

Phaedrux

What is the fault error message?

Double check wiring.

twistedechos

Error: Temperature reading fault on heater 1: sensor open circuit i wonder if the temp sensor is bad but the other side says Error: Temperature reading fault on heater 2: sensor open circuit could it be the type of sensor im using or could they both be bad?

What type of temperature sensor does the CTC use? Is it connected directly to the Duet, or through an interface board?

I found a thread on another forum that suggests that the CTC uses thermocouples, whereas you have config.g set up for thermistors. However, if you connect a thermocouple where a thermistor is expected, I would expect it ti tell you that the sensor is short circuit, not open circuit.

twistedechos

@dc42 that is probably the problem then can i change it somehow in the config.g or do i need to change the temperature sensors i have others that came with my e3 hot end i just did not know if i could use them with the 24v psu but i got to thinking and i was being dumb the motherboard puts out different voltage to the components i guess im just getting to exited and over thinking things haha but if i can change the config.g to work with these that would be great if not i can swap them

twistedechos

and it is right to the duet sorry i forgot that part

twistedechos

and from what im reading and seeing it looks like the k type the ones i have that came with the e3 v6 look kinda cheesy

dc42

If you bought standard E3Dv6 hot ends, they will have been supplied with thermistors. If you have a multimeter, you can check this. Unplug the sensor from the Duet and measure the resistance. If it's a few ohms, it's a thermocouple (assuming the wires are not shorting to each other). if it's around 100 ohms, it's a PT100. If it's between 100K and 200K then it's a thermistor.
