Hello,
A few weeks ago i posted here that my sd card reader wasnt working properly anymore. I noticed this in the wifi not working all the time. I now replaced the sd card reader but now the wifi aint working anymore at all. I get the red light but not the blue light of trying to connect. Sometimes i get a low visible blue light but that is all. Does someone know the meaning of this and how I am able to fix this. I checked the solder connections and they are allright.
Berend
Thanks will try it with that part!
Hello,
Since quite some time my sd-card reader hasn't been working right. I mainly notice this in the wifi module not trying to connect. It cant get the config files to start connecting. The problem is that the sd-card clicking system isn't working anymore. I have been fixing this last year with a bolt just pushing it in but now the connector also have been damaged cause often the wifi gets disconnected. Now my question is where can I buy this card reader or some similar one which fits? I live in the Netherlands so preferably not from the US with like 20 dollar shipping costs. I already replaced my wifi module before (not my cleanest work) so I hope I will be able to also replace the sd-card module.
Otherwise I don't know if it is possible to bring it in for repair somewhere and what the costs would be of doing that?
@engikeneer That seems to work. I think I will use your method, maybe replace it in a few months. Seems to work fine for now, thanks.
Hello,
I just replaced my wifi card because it was not working right. First time working with hot air station but I think the sd card holder got a bit too much unwanted heat too. Because my micro sd card is not sticking anymore in the holder. I can push it as many times as i want and it goes in deep enough but there is no click or anything, the holder's spring just pushes it out immediately. The holder does still work electrically I think because different leds go on when I hold the card in. What is the best way to deal with this. Rather not do hot air again but if that's the only solution.
@jay_s_uk
Okay than I will look for the materials coming week and hope it works 
.
Thank you for your help!
@jay_s_uk
It only sends out 2.4ghz. A little distance makes no difference. Sadly I live in the Netherlands so if I send it I'm afraid it could be gone weeks with the transportation.
Just a simple hot air station which are used for smd works okay? Than I will learn how to do it. And would you recommend an ESP07 to replace it? I can't find the ethernet modules at the official duet sellers in my country so if the 07 is a better module I am willing to try that one. Furthermore are all the connections just the same? I can just replace it without rewiring some stuff?
@jay_s_uk
That's the thing right now, the wifi repeater stands almost next to the duet. Now there is no aluminum between them.
I dont have a hot air solder station or ever worked with it but if that is the only solution I will need to do it. Is it also possible to solder an ethernet module or something to it? A normal solder is something I do have.
Don't mind the wires, it is still a work in progress.
@jay_s_uk @Phaedrux
Changing the SD card did nothing. Changing wifi ssid did make the duet connect faster to the wifi (looking at the blue LED). But the webcontrol still gets interrupted and is slow. The dbm is also still 64 while the extender almost is next to the duet. My phone gets like 35dbm on the same spot.
@jay_s_uk
It has the same ssid and password as all the other ap's in house. I hope the duet picks the best one. Would it maybe work if i use a different name on this ap, specifically used for the duet? I think the duet is than still accessible via the whole home network.
@jay_s_uk
What do you mean with previous wifi information? The .bin file?
So this is a derived post from another topic. I recently suddenly got some connection issues with my duet2wifi. Since a few weeks it suddenly got a hard time connecting and staying connected to the wifi. The only thing changed in that time is a aluminum plate between it and the wifi but I have now placed a wifi repeater next to the duet so that is solved. The problem is that the wifi module takes a long time to first connect to my wifi. When it is connected the webcontrol often gets interrupted, it also gives this message then. Also things like sending commands have a delay and the icons not always load well.
Things I tried to solve it:
Sadly nothing seems to work as of now. This happened with now real cause. Is my module maybe broken? The led keeps on shining on the module when it is connected.
Maybe I better make a new topic with the right topic name.
@phaedrux
On the bottom when starting up, although it does disappear quickly.
@phaedrux
Yes, I tried it to get better wifi. Before it was also bad.
The board today with the new firmware also gives this popup when it's first connected.
Failed to connect to 192.168.2.164
Unexpected token '<', "
@phaedrux
I have just updated to 3.4.1 however my connection issues continue. It also happens with just browsing the webcontrol. Like sending codes in the console can have a delay of like 10 seconds. Also simple G0 commands. Furhtermore the connection falls away often. Sometimes the Duet needs like a minute to reconnect to a wifi after startup. However the dbm seems fine. Just randomly webcontrol also has to reconnect. Next to updating the firmware I also just update the wifi and webcontrol.
I did try to add an antena like explained here link text
but that didn't help.

Hello guys,
I recently designed and built myself a new printer mostly based on the Ratrig.
Getting it running was pretty easy but getting it tuned isn't as easy as I hoped. The printer is designed to run faster and print more accurately and uses a duet2wifi.
On straight parts it is getting pretty good although I get some lines in the layer height that i cant quite explain. Maybe I am getting too precise with that. But looking at corners I have quite some bad print qualities. I posted some pictures below and my config code to make it more clearly because it is hard too explain but the pictures show it nicely. (all printed with 0.6mm nozzle, 0.2 layer height, 100mm/s print speed, wall speed 60mm/s). I just added a acceleratometer too look at vibrations, dont seem too bad with the naked eye but it is possible of course. But I just see those sensors weren't supported at 3.2 so tomorrow I will update my duet. Furthermore my webconsole is giving more problems lately. Suddenly it got problems with wifi signal, M122 gives low dbm of like 70 but like 2 weeks before it worked just fine. I just placed an extra range extender and now the dbm is like 54 so a lot better but still the web console is slow often and uploading files it gets often stuck on the 100% for like a minute. Connecting is a bit better though now.
So my most important question to you guys:
Do you have tips on what part I need to work to print more nicely?

Interpolation on the extruder is back on and reinstalled a bltouch and filament sensor last day. The bottom side and top side of the prints look a bit better now but I printed this pretty big tool holder last night but the sides are just not nice enough for a printer. I understand that the corner parts are something I should work on in Cura but what is remarkable that round the 10th layer or something on all sides the outer wall is bad. Furthermore as you can see the side with the puzzle piece is pretty bad but the other side looks way better, a bit weird this.
Furthermore all sides except for one are a bit bumpy, bit visible but you can feel it pretty good.
@Phaedrux Hereby my full config file.
@dc42 Yes my cooling fan always starts at layer 2 at 100%.

Thanks for your response.
Currently not home, tomorrow night again, so then I will post my full config.
Yesterday I tried again some things and next to the firmware also looked in Cura.
There I adjusted some values in mesh and seam corner and the walls look a lot better now. Only the weird thing is that with RRF2 I didn't had this changed.
I tried to print with speeds from 30mm/s to 100mm/s. Had top speed before on 12000.
Ah the interpolation on the extruder. I will turn that on first thing when I get back!
My thermistor values seem to work okay.
With the walls better I tried some standard prints but now the top layer has some ugliness. In the first it somehow completely screwed up the top part and the second one the full top layer. However this is with ironing enabled in Cura but this worked fine for me in RRF2. This is all printed with nozzle 0.4 and height 0.15.
