@oliof Thanks, I just realized that my original Duet is the Maestro. The Ender has the Ethernet board. The Maestro is in a drawer. Actually, I would REALLY prefer to go the CAN bus route now that I think about it. I guess my Maestro is retired for good It sounds like the RatRig 4 with a newer Duet may be top of the list. I have a LOT of the bones left over from my old CoreXY. Not least of which a REALLY sweet industrial 24 volt PSU I scored.

I have a fairly geeked out Ender 3 with a Duet 2 ethernet and also a spare Duet 2 wifi board. I'm thinking of ditching the bed slinger and settling on one enclosed coreXY. The WiFi was originally in a 300 x 300 x 300 coreXY I built from scratch. I'd be pretty happy with 200 x 200 now. But I would like mostly metal kinematic parts if possible. Is there a thread or group somewhere tracking the best options for Duet retrofits. I realize it raises a thousand question. One thing I stumbled into recently was a RatRig kit. I have been out of the game a while, and honestly I just want to build one fairly reliable printer I can pull out of the closet from time to time. My Ender is E3D v6 / Bondtech, and I was thinking maybe the new E3D or a Slice engineering. Hoping to optimize for Matterhackers Ryno and/or PETG-CF class of materials. I have a lot of Ryno I never used. I print engineering and functional parts, not art or game related stuff. I'm not exactly sure if it makes sense to retrofit any modern coreXY Asia built printer these days.

For the record, 3.0RC1 on my Maestro seems to have the same issue Duets have always had for me. The DWC sometimes dies part way through the print. The print completes, but a hard reset is the only way to get the DWC working again. This happened in my WiFi as well.

@3dmntbighker WoW! thanks!!!

I had to "guess" the same thing 2 days ago because they didn't include those port names under Maestro? I presumed the names would be the same as on Duet WiFi (which I also have with a PT100).

need configuration help to connect PT100 via board to DuetWiFi 2 v1.03

after upgrade to rrf-3 i changed config and everything works but the extruder temp sensor. it shows 2000 deg...
downgrading to 2.05 shows correct temperature.

here are related lines:

I have an Ender 3 with Maestro, Bondtech, E3Dv6.

My advice:

Flip the Z so the motor is on top (I cobbled together a mount, which was cake) , no dual Z

I messed with 0.9 motors before and they were more trouble than they were worth. Especially on a direct drive extruder. You would be better served by a geared stepper on Z.

The Hemera should be awesome

If you don't have a Pro you need to widen the Y rail. I would not just stick a single linear rail there. I would stay with rollers and a wider rail. 3 point is also preferred to 4.

Mine has the updated hard clear rollers. They are well worth it.

Put in a good part cooling duct with opposing cooling ducts. Might be a challenge to find for Hemera. I dislike the single sided ducts.

@3dmntbighker TBH, I didn't know that S0 had been withdrawn either. I was going by this thread https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/13136/m574-usage-on-rrf-3 where David said his intention was not to withdraw S0.

That's what we get for being bleeding edge. I don't ask for apologies

DC is "the man". He's done as much for my 3D printing as anyone.

@dc42 said in RepRapFirmware 3.0RC1 released:

This is covered In the upgrade notes. S0 is no longer supported in M574. Use S1 and invert the pin using ! at the start of the pin name.

It's not noted in the M574 section of the RepRap changes document. Nor on the main G-code page. Which does have many notations about RRF3.

Thanks, I'm operational now. I had some issues with the Piezo sensor but I resolved those.

@3dmntbighker said in RepRapFirmware 3.0RC1 released:

I think the stuff after the T0 is just from copying from the DWC web page.

In any case, try putting the "M669 K1" at the top of the file. I don't think it'll make a difference but it may.

Yeah, looking at the file directly on the SD card it looks normal. I can enter M669 K1 in the console and no difference. It really seems to be an issue with M574? There seems to be no way to change the end stop from active high to active low. Changing M574 it always acts the same.

So, my config.g is shown above. But if I "select all" in the editor and paste into a standard text editor I get the following (ignore the extra stuff I had clipped out):

Is the extra stuff at the end normal?

@deckingman said in RepRapFirmware 3.0RC1 released:

Another thought.......you haven't got any M574 commands in your config-overide file which might be overriding config.g have you?

No

@3dmntbighker said in RepRapFirmware 3.0RC1 released:

It doesn't matter if I set X end stop active high or active low. The axis won't home (move) unless I hold the switch on, and stops when I release.

To clarify that, are you saying that you can change between S0 and S1 but the axis won't move unless you press the switch? What does M119 give you with and without the switch depressed?

Correct

M119
Endstops - X: at min stop, Y: at min stop, Z: at min stop, Z probe: at min stop

Pressed:

M119
Endstops - X: not stopped, Y: at min stop, Z: at min stop, Z probe: at min stop

Also, after I attempt to home X nothing will move. None of the axis respond to the move buttons in the interface. Changing M574 from S0 to S1 gives the same result.

It doesn't matter if I set X end stop active high or active low. The axis won't home (move) unless I hold the switch on, and stops when I release.

@deckingman said in RepRapFirmware 3.0RC1 released:

@3dmntbighker That's odd. Homing works for me on my CoreXY using H1. Mine is a bit complicated because it's actually a CoreXYUVAB but the pure X moves are essentially the same as yours. The major difference I see in your file is the use of G4 which I don't bother with. Try taking those out. If that fixes it, you may have found a bug.

Edit, There is one other difference in my homing files. I don't use H2 in the Z move - I have M564 H0 in my config.g to allow moves prior to homing. So if taking out the G4 commands doesn't fix it, try using M564 H0 instead of the H2 Z move and report back (in case you've unearthed a bug).

Now X doesn't move at all after the Z move...

Next question...

After I set M669 K1 and run the CoreXY tests the motors run as expected. But running a simple "G91", "G1 H2 X10" results in both axis moving in plus direction. And "G1 H2 Y10" moves X+ and Y-.

It's always been that way on CoreXY machines, because G1 H2 moves are individual motor moves.

Well my homex no longer functions after changing S commands to H commands.

What does the new "standard" entry look like on a Maestro for a Duet3D PT100 daughter board?

M308 S1 Y"rtdmax31865" P"ctemp" F60 ; Activate PT100 hotend temp sensor

This gives me 2000C at ambient, and the pin names for the daughter board were not obvious to me.

 edit: Ah, so spi.cs1 (from Duet WiFi section) seems to be the secret sauce. How do you do the virtual driver listed below?

 ; M308 P101 X1001 S"DuetDriversTemp"	; Virtual heater to display stepper driver over temp flags

Also, without changing my numbers when I converted the old M305 to 308 for bed thermistor...

M308 S0 P"bed_temp" Y"thermistor" R4700 T100000 B3950

I got 6.4C at ambient. Before they were within a couple of degrees at ambient.

Just a followup. I find the stepper connectors to be very tedious and fidgety to crimp, and assemble. The wire I ordered "seems" to be a decent quality. I did not have a single failed cable connection. It was annoying that the end stop switches were 2.54mm pitch and the steppers were 2mm pitch. I failed to notice and had to order more stuff to complete the work. I forgot at the last minute to add the wire twist to the motor cables So far everything seems to be working. And for the first time since I got the Precision Piezo Z sensor I have reliable operation. The wire I used was sketchy and it caused many crashes into the bed. I also beefed up my bed mounts using Materhackers Ryno. All in all my CoreXY is a far better machine than ever before. Now I'm dealing with issues surrounding going to a .6mm nozzle. My CoreXY is my larger format 300x3 printer. My Ender is my 200x3. I had the worst nozzle blockage I've ever experienced AFTER I realized the hot end cooling fan wasn't running. This was the first time I have had to resort to a butane torch to clear the blockage. Joys of the hobby.

I ordered all the stuff to build cables myself. I got the crimps and stuff from https://americas.rsdelivers.com. I got some "tinned copper silicone" hookup wire on Amazon. Fingers crossed there is actual copper in the wire.

@bricor said in Quality wire source?:

I missed the 24 ga part of your post.

I typically use 22ga and higher.

The Amazon NEMA cables are even 26
