Problem solved! This has taken months. I checked grub screws, belt teeth…. I had noticed that now and then the hot end juddered when moving to position, but not all the time. The person I bought the machine from had cable tied the hot end cable harness to 1 of the Z motor arms. It was hanging loose and tidied up the harness, as it does tend to flop about on my other machine.
When close to the bed (within 10mm) and only in specific positions it held the arm causing the belt to slip! Also G29 failed most of the time as the probe was not triggered due to the arm being held back. The judder now solved, G29 completes and bed leveling showing a decent graph.
Thanks for your help. (I have learned lots of G code and Duet wiring though)

RE: Delta z height AC Predator
Hi, Sorted at some point the X belt had twisted with the non-toothed side running on the stepper. I didn’t even notice when checking the stepper grub screws. I couldn’t see the belt twist as it’s slightly recessed on the machine, but I noticed when looking closely at the carriage and tabs. Really noticeable when you manually move the carriage up and down. It makes sense now as when I did a HomeDelta quite often, but not all the time, the interface would report not all axis homed and they weren’t. I just thought it was an annoying “feature” that would sometimes happen and I would have to click Home again. The board was turning the stepper the 490mm distance I have in my HomeDelta and not triggering the end stop giving the error. Also when doing probing from high up the results were inconsistent – belt slippage. Down low with slow probes it was okay. After a Home the X and Y values were not zero on the interface and when touching bed the hot end was not centred on the bed. Now to change the belts and somehow fix the bed which got smashed at the edge when the Perspex lid hit it!

RE: Fan Problem - Blown Board?
@dc42 Thanks for the info about the polarity. That now makes sense! I bought some PMV20XNER MOSFETs, but the size of them is way beyond my capability.
I tried to PM you, but I get then message "This user has restricted their chat messages. They must follow you before you can chat with them"

RE: Fan Problem - Blown Board?
@bearer Thanks I will check as I have now visually blown P3. Also P1 stopped working. So all 3 now not working! Is there anywhere in the UK that I can send the board to get it fixed?
(I bought pre-wired connectors, but I didn't see that although the connectors were compatible at the hot end the polarity was reversed to the fan. I wouldn't have thought that switching the fan polarity would have blown anything - the fans would just spin the wrong way).

@Phaedrux Hope it's clear enough.

RE: Fan Problem - Blown Board?
@Phaedrux Yeah. Nothing physically obvious. What also confused me was the 2 Fans on the WebGUI. I didn't notice that one was Tool Fan and the other Fan 0, which are the same. I thought one was the heatsink fan, which thinking about it now wouldn't make sense as it's not speed controllable. Thanks for your help.

RE: Fan Problem - Blown Board?
@Phaedrux Tried the following:
fan0 Molex into fan2 header
config.g changes
;Fans
; M106 P0 S0 I0 F500 H-1 ; Disable FAN0: Set fan 0 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off
M106 P2 S0 I0 F500 H-1 ; Set fan 2 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off;Tools for p0
; M563 P0 D0 H1 F0
M563 P0 D0 H1 F2It seems to work!

RE: Fan Problem - Blown Board?
@Phaedrux I've taken molex off fan header connections and attached direct to 24v. All fans/wiring okay. My mistake about speed - it's just a quiet - ish fan.
That's maybe something if m106 and the sliders have no effect?
send M106 P1 H-1 and heatsink fan comes on. No change to WebGUI controls
M106 P1 S0 fan stops (WebGUI speed sliders - no effect)
M106 P1 S1 fan on (WebGUI speed sliders - no effect)
M106 P0 S1 no change to part cooling fan - still off -
RE: Fan Problem - Blown Board?
@Phaedrux MOSFETs look okay. Do you know if the WebGUI fan speed slider issues the M106 command?

RE: Fan Problem - Blown Board?
@Phaedrux M563 P0 D0 H1 Same as my other machine which works and dozuki says you can omit for tool0. Added F0 and rebooted - no change. M106 P0 S1 does not turn the fan on. Vin jumper selected as in working machine. I cannot figure it out. Thanks for trying to help. Strange that heatsink fan starts when over 45C, but WebGUI hs no effect on it either below or above 45C.

RE: Fan Problem - Blown Board?
I'm still commissioning the machine, so most of the config is from my other machine. Main problem is that the WebGUI fan speed sliders have no effect (also M106 no effect). Hotend fan kicks in at 45C. Fan seems slow, but it's hard to tell. (firmware 2.05.1)
