Hi Guys,

I thought I will share with you unit that we developed

• 5 colours
• active heating
• rewind of the filament

Hi,

has anyone used Duet boards to build a waterjet cutter?

@Phaedrux I have been pining target and had disconnect - ping had no issues at all.

Filament counters are not working on RC1

@dc42 thanks a lot for the info.
I think i will give the macro a go
and no I am not using pogo pins - I am using USB cable.
I made a small PCB board to go on the extruder and a distribution board to split can signal into two feeds.
by using USB C 3.2 i think I can supply ennough current at 24V
if anyone is interested I could share the designs

@T3P3Tony you guys missed the fact where I say that the filament usage is reported correctly.
also the extruder drive was correct at the start.
I believe this is an error with the coding and the counter flips once it has reached certain distance
I believe it is a code bug with variable type definition - it simply cannot handle such a large number properly

@magnets99 it would be impossible to experiment due to the fact that it used over 12kg before it got to this point

Filament counters are not working on RC1

@dc42 yes. There is no issue at all. Works fine with mechanical endstop. It simply doesn't detect sensorless stall so the motor keeps rattling when it hits end

@gloomyandy would you have one ready?

@dc42 can't get to work - max sensitivity of -128, 10% power, different speeds
What would you suggest?

ok, this time it is 1LC issue
trying to do sensorless homing and cannot get it to work - no matter what I do.
Same settings on Mini 5+ - no issues at all.
I have tried to go down to 10% with current while homing
fast speed, low speed - no chages
changed S to values all the way down to -128 - still nothing.

@dc42 is sensorless homing enabled on 3.6.0B3 and RC1?
No need to ask for config file - other axis works just fine with the same homing file and settings.

@Chriss well guess again - I have done fair few of them. no need to be patronising because some other people might have done a lot more than you.

@Chriss regardless how long they last - they are cheap, neat and super easy to replace.
Instead of running bunch of cables and having no quick disconnect option one cable is simpler.
Connectors big? Not sure where you got that

@dc42 will do

@dc42 @T3P3Tony Mid print
6HC+1LC for toolhead
printer didn't reset
It was still reporting as "Printing" no actions performed

@T3P3Tony Nema23 ad additional 750-1000g to the weight
when the motors are mounted on the axis and they are moving together it is a lot of weight
I was considering using 42mm servo motors with intehrated drivers.
