I've run ~25 pounds of filament through this printer in the last 3 weeks, so far I've only had two failed prints both resulting from bed warping. I'm going to invest in a removable springsteel PEI sheet next to help with that. Here's a few parts:

Loving my duet hardware

@jay_s_uk Thanks, I flashed in fresh firmware and moved them to the proper menu directory. I'm still not seeing anything on the LCD

EDIT: Flipped my cables one more time and now have it working, thanks so much!!!

After almost a full year of on and off work, I've finally (mostly)finished my 3D Printer magnum opus, Zeta-1. This machine is a monster, standing at 60x60x36" and weighing around 300lbs, boasting a build volume of 24x36x44". The frame is 30/60 aluminum extrusions, the bed is fixed, the Z chassis moves up and down on 3x 12mm lead screws and 5x 16mm smooth rods. The drive chain rides on 10mm rods, most of the components here are printed. This IDEX printer uses the same modular Bondtech-titan extruders I designed for my Prusa's allowing for easy nozzle changes, seen here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3300607

First print! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFfbQU_8RHI

The bed is a 7001 1/2" cast aluminum plate with 3 industrial heaters wired to mains voltage. Separate heat zones allow me to heat just the portion of the bed I am using for each print to save power. A duetwifi-duex 5 board provides enough ports to run the required 9 stepper motors, I'll eventually give it a touch screen as well. Drag chains help to keep all the wiring in place over long axis.

I'm going to be using this printer for furniture and giant cosplay projects, among other things. I have lots more plans for future upgrades and tweaks, including an enclosure. I'm also going to make a magnetic springsteel bed for it to help with part removal, I've fallen in love with Buildtak's flexplates.

I'm having this exact same problem with the same hardware, I'm sure I'm missing something very simple. I have my display connected and can change the RGB colors of the display by editing the config file, but can't seem to get it to display anything. I have loaded a menu set from the suggested list and changed the master file to "menu". What am I missing?

I followed the Duet guides on making the wiring loom and updating to the most recent firmware and everything.

@phaedrux I can't feel any heat coming off the board from anywhere to the touch under VIN power.

I did connect a PanelDue and had that working fine, but then I tried to make a wiring loom to use a BTT LCD text display, the one most Vorons use, and encountered these issues after plugging that in for the first time.

I bought this duet back in 2018 from Filastruder in the US, it's been my back up board for years in case any of my other Duet boards fried I'd be able to swap quickly and get back up to running, but I never ended up needing it. Just took it out of the box 3 weeks ago.

@phaedrux Just plugged this into my Windows work laptop, nope doesn't make a chime and I can't see it as a USB device.

I've basically come to the conclusion I just need a new board, which is really frustrating

@t3p3tony Alright, I just had time to give this another shot. I removed the SD card, then wiped the board by moving the jumper and power cycling, letting it stay on for 30 seconds. Plugged it back in to just USB power, can't see the board. I put the SD card back in, still can't see the board.

Tried the full procedure again but kept the SD card in the board while erasing it, no change, still can't see the board with or without an SD card using a known good USB cable and connection. I also tried other cables to verify

@t3p3tony Nope, can't do anything to make a con port show up. I've been told it's time to try re-flashing the card, but I don't have a save file of what it was on it. Can you link me to what files I should be uploading to the same, or a new micro sd card?

Here's how it looks under VIN power:

@phaedrux I get all the way up to not finding a COM port. The board looks fine, still has a lit green LED as expected.

Here's what it looked like wired up:

I've been told to look for USB connection under system info on Mac, is it the billboard device? Still nothing when I usb into Simplify3D and search for it.
