Always good solid advice. Most of my issues with why I wrote in for help are related to no knowing which problem was creating which challenge.

@Phaedrux
Sorry for the delay. It turns out that I made some slicer changes to try to center the print on the bed, and then homed the printer, and wire tied the extruder tube...

The point is that I "fixed" multiple things at the same time, and my X limit switch became loose and that caused a huge set of issues until I figured out that it was not actually working / connected.

This is an ender 5 pro that I converted to the Duet 2 Wifi board. I kept the ender5 limit switches but replaced the wiring with generic 3 pin wires to the board. I am having problems keeping the wires connected at the end stops. I applied heat shrink tubing at the limit switch end, so they now all look perfect but seem to vibrate loose.

Would you be willing to offer an opinion on a more reliable end stop setup that I could connect directly to the duet 2 endstop to stop having endstop switch connection issues?

@Phaedrux
I am very happy with the print quality that I am getting. I'm trying to deal with a couple of small things that remain.

It happens from time to time between prints that I will get a message that I do not have an extruder selected or online or whatever. I can click on the tool and it will resolve. I would appreciate knowing how to make sure that it is always on when I either turn on the printer or send a job.

It would also be nice if it would automatically heat the nozzle to the temperature that I want up front. I suspect that I am missing a key line somewhere. Should I put it in config.g, or in the start code from the slicer?

Along the same lines, when the print finishes, I would like to shut off both the nozzle heater and the bed heater.

@TimV-0
All my plug ins say they are 3.4.4

@Phaedrux
Thanks for the file. I can't be certain for all of the files, but the .zip file is the one that I have loaded.

The heightmap tab was a big orange icon that said stop in the plugins. All the other plugins said start. Is this backwards or was it the only plug in running and I just shut it off? I clicked it again and it still shows the big green icon that says start?

I have lost the heightmap icon on the main DWC which is what I clicked to see it in the first place. Not there any more.

I'll just pretend I know what I am doing for now as I don't really want to restart the print

The screens don\t seem to display what I would expect...

@TimV-0 Hi: I sent out the G29 last night to generate a heightmap.
It sampled lots of spots on the bed and I got no feedback.

I tried printing today and I have a small forest of PLA that I wasn't expecting.

I clicked on the heightmap and it is empty. I'm sure the bed is not perfectly flat.

Is there somewhere I should have saved it when it finished? I think I sent an M500 because I thought I should.

@Phaedrux Thanks for all of your help and for sticking with me.

I will do the auto bed levelling next. I did look at the height map that I had and it looks terrible. I am currently printing a case for the duet 2 board to make it a little safer and hopefully protect the actual wiring. I know I should have done the auto bed levelling first. |I had some quality issues and some print lifting. I should have really cleaned the print surface first. Just because it's brand new doesn't mean it is ready to go. I will also need to go over the extruder setup as I can see from the print that it is no set properly.

I did add a dual gear extruder, but I am thinking that maybe I should stack it on the carriage and get rid of the long bowden tube. Any thoughts or cautions I should know about?

@TimV-0 Sorry, it is not perfect. I think I need to run the autobed levelling to set up the heightmap properly. I just hope it doesn't undo what I have done

@Phaedrux
Once more for good luck.
From the Test and Calibrate Document
HomeX Ok
HomeY Ok
HomeZ Ok After G30 is run, bed raises until bltouch triggers. Bed stops raising at 2.73mm from nozzle

Calibrate the Z probe trigger height
Issue M561 - done
Center nozzle at center of bed - done
Z is still reporting height = 2.73mm
Raise the bed to remove the 2.73mm
Bed not trapping paper
Issue M564 S0
Nozzle contacts paper at -0.4mm
Nozzle stops paper at -0.45mm
Issue G92 S0 - Confirm bed height indicates 0.00
Lowered Bed by 5mm
Measured distance to confirm 5mm
G30 S-1 stopped at 2.73
G31 P500 X-45 Y0 Z2.73 set in config.g
edited G31 in config.g.bak

Reset the duet 2 board.

Position indicator says Z 0.00

That is not true. after the board reset, the nozzle is 10mm above the bed

HomeX -- ok
HomeY -- ok
HomeZ -- ok

Tool position reports Z at 2.73mm

I don't want to do anything else on my own until I understand for sure what is happening.
Is this not the result of what I set in the G31 command in config.g?

Ok, I am really confused now. I started a print job and it is printing perfectly. I have a good, even first layer.
