Thanks a lot for your answers.

I found a very good solution from a nice Company, they have a nice system where you can by the pliers and add inserts for various connectors.
https://www.rennsteig.com/en/products/crimping/200-crimp-system-tool-pew-12

I talked a bit with the support and they told me that there insert "624 1324 3 0" should work with the WE connectors.

I will send them some connectors and some wires for testing now. Let's see what they say after there tests.

That may sounds a bit over the top but I love good tools and I'm sure that it makes sense to support good engineering. I think that this is the case with duet, isn't it?

@jay_s_uk It seems like I instantly felt in love with BtnCmd.

Cheers....

I use Cura and I hate it... the very last version needs a restart after every print and it is crashing all the time. (on my linux workstation)
But the tree support is a gamechanger for me.

I will test PrusaSlicer 2.3.0-alpha2 after I saw that here in the thread.

This is how a real slicer should look like:

+1 This would be nice. And I ask for a Endstop status too!

@oliof said in Error messages improvement?:

@Chriss you aren't the first to ask for this, see https://forum.duet3d.com/post/325796

Not a surprise to be honest.... It is more a surprise that it took so long that people ask for that feature....

Yes, we can close the topic now..... It was my bad! The tool 0 was selected for homez and not deselected anymore. I changed that and it is working as expected now.

Thanks for your support guys!

Cheers, Chriss

I rebuild the toolhead including the extruder and it seems to me like the problem is gone now. I will do some more test prints but I think that we can close the problem now.

Cheers, Chriss

@bearer Thanks.. that did it. I'm a bit confused, it my first reflex was the mode 8 but it did not work. Well, I played a bit with the config in the meantime, that ańd your confirmation did the trick.
At least one success today.

@oliof This is clear to me and what is clear from the docu of M600. But what is with the rest? Will the printer than in the "Pause" state? How will it resume regarding G91/90?

Cheers, Chriss

Hi *,

I have a question regarding the inter print filament change drill.
I realized that the SuperSlicer likes to add a "filament change" code to the generated g code when it detects a logo etc.
I had a quick look at it and it seams to me that it generates a M600 at the needed layer to change the filament. I understood M600 that it executes filament-change.g or pause.g if the first one does not exist.
So what can I expect here? The M600 executes the filament-change.g and goes in "pause" than? And I can continue the print than with a "resume" via the DWC or the display? Does the firmware resume than at the same location and with the same G91/G90 as it was?

Cheers, Chriss

@dc42 Many thanks for the hint. That looks exactly like the solution I was looking for!

Cheers, Chriss

Hi *,

I have the idea to extend my 6HC based printer with some features. One idea includes the need to execute a external shell script on the PI, do make some tasks happening. Is there any way to do that? something like "M??? -P"/path/to/shell_script.sh".?

If not: Can we make it a feature request?

Cheers, Chriss

@jay_s_uk It seems like I instantly felt in love with BtnCmd.

@jay_s_uk

That is a bit strange, I have found this in one of my older configs:

;; Bed Corner temp sensor (2=Orange, 3=Brown, 4=Green, 5=Yellow, 6=Purple 7=Black, )
; Configure Bed corner temp sensor as thermistor on pin temp2
M308 S5 P"0.temp1" Y"thermistor" A"Bed-Corner" T100000 B4138

So at least the colours of the sensors have/had that feature. I can remember that I created the list of colours in the past.

I guess that we all agree that we want to change the colours here, don't we?

"BtnCmd"?

Cheers, Chriss

Hi *,

I can remember that there is/was a possibility to specify the tool colour in the DWC somehow in the config but I can not find it anymore. Could somebody give me a hint please?
The docu from M563 or M308 did not help me.

Cheers, Chriss

@dc42
Let me point out one more thing here: The printer I see this problem does not have this problem since some weeks anymore. But all of the print which the printer performed are below 100mm in Z. I'm not sure whether that is time ore high related. I just wanted to let you know my observation.

Is there a am64 repo for that? I would like to play with that in a VM.

No. You could build it from the sources for different architectures but since it requires an SPI link to work I guess that's rather pointless.

OK, so no VM than, I will grep a other PI than for testing that.

@Chriss said in duetpluginservice(-root) not starting....:

I'm confused that I'm the only person reporting that, I used the most recent raspberry image from the duet homepage and I did not altered anything.

If anything went wrong during start-up, the journal should tell you. No idea why they were empty on your machine, though. They should be enabled by default. What variant are you using, 32 or 64-bit, with or without GUI?

64 and without GUI.

Cheers, Chriss

@chrishamm Strange, most strange.... Is there a am64 repo for that? I would like to play with that in a VM.

Am I right when I assume that we need to have the process running twice, one as uid 0 and one as the dsf? I will create two supervisord script to manage the processes till I found the reason for that behavior via the systemd.

I'm confused that I'm the only person reporting that, I used the most recent raspberry image from the duet homepage and I did not altered anything.

Needless to say that I want my init system back.
