    • RE: What is the best 3d printer for beginners

      @milesthomas I’d say look at a Prusa for ease of use.

      Here is the original slicing software https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f1yuOidiOxlcGvqfJhKm9rftpKGLOB2k/view?usp=drive_link

      It's old and clunky. You can use a slicer like Cura or Prusasclier with the printer with a little bit of work. If you want to update the printer then as @droftarts says look at one of the current duet boards.

      If I can help let me know, I'll try asisst.

      Give Prusaslicer a go. I’ve moved to it from Cura and I’m impressed with it

    • Feature request: Search function in 'Jobs'

      Hi, hope this is the right place to raise this. It would be great if we could search within Jobs. It would make finding old prints a lot easier. Thanks.

    • RE: Vertical lines vs. geared extruders

      Interesting videos. New gear design required. I had the thought of using two motors to drive in unison but that comes with it's own issues.

    • RE: Not homing in correct direction.

      @BattleDroid said in Not homing in correct direction.:

      @fcwilt

      Ah, gotcha. That makes sense now. Thank you. You guys have been super helpful. I just closed about 30 tabs since those questions have been solved for me. haha

      I am now trying to see if I can get the probe to work. I am googling how to change the mesh grid(?) when it probes. I noticed when it first tried to probe it wasn't quite on the bed. I am assuming its coordinates on the m557 line. Still searching. The other thing I have to find is why it doesn't deploy the probe when it starts homing. It is lit up, it will kick in and out when I turn the printer on. But I need to find what I change to make it deploy when it goes to home.

      Do you have a deploy probe and retract probe script? M401 should deploy it and M402 retract. I was in a very similar position to you just the other week so this is all very fresh and familiar for me! 😄

      @900turbo Interested if you completed this? We have a Extreme 2000 Pro and a Duet conversion would be something I'm considering. I'd like to replace the extruder and add some modern quality of life functions. Thanks.

      @robinzulu I have the old slicer on my google drive.

      https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f1yuOidiOxlcGvqfJhKm9rftpKGLOB2k/view?usp=share_link

      You can create a profile in something like Prusaslicer and use this with the ST3Di as well. Just takes a bit of work.

    • RE: ST3Di Modelsmart 280 - Duet Maestro repair/upgrade

      @Hpnonthuis I swapped out the control board for a Duet so it runs RRF. The original board was locked so it wasn't possible to upgrade the FW.

    • RE: Flashing firmware on Mac OS X

      @droftarts No, I found that setting. Now I think about it though I had already downloaded the file so changing it afterwards makes no sense. I needed to download the file again..... Sometimes looking at things with fresh eyes help! thanks

    • RE: Flashing firmware on Mac OS X

      @jay_s_uk Sorry, I kinda did a thread hijack. I was trying to update via DWC. I was on a 3.4.1rc and wanted to update to 3.4.2

      It was just incredibly frustrating yesterday trying to get it to work.

    • RE: Flashing firmware on Mac OS X

      I tried updating my Duet yesterday using my Mac but couldn't simply because when I tried to upload the firmware instead of uploading the zip it automatically extracts it and shows the file contents. I couldn't figure out how to resolve it.

      In the end I had to use my work laptop (Windows). Would love to know how to use the Mac for this.

      @zapta Is he buying the boards himself or are they provided FOC. The pain isn't the same when someone gives you these things.

      I Got one .
      It is fast.
      Also very close to experince like geting HP laser jet and runing it. Espesialy with PLA.
      This thing will take away the good sleep of Prusa, ultimaker, Raise 3d etc

      I got mine last week, Have to agree. Only going to get better as well.

      @asdfasdf426

      These are my old 280 files. Maybe a better starting point.

      These were my notes to myself.

      Printer Profile

      Explains how to setup a new printer profile, also where to save/edit the files.
      https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/wiki/Definition-Files-Explained

      Created by GH (15/5/19)

      Updated version (20/05/2019) NOTE: May need to switch the left and right extruders in the definitions to match Cura. Currently Material 1 prints on the right extruder, I think logically you'd want it on the left and Material 2 on the right?

      If you want a representation of the build plate (helps with positioning). Then save this to the meshes folder

      Material I created (PLA)

      In addition I wanted to find a way to have Cura save out the gcode files with the ebp extension. Using this link I was able to find a way….

      https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/1059

      Save the file below to this location.
      C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.0\plugins\GCodeWriter

      Copyright (c) 2015 Ultimaker B.V.

      Cura is released under the terms of the LGPLv3 or higher.

      from . import GCodeWriter

      from UM.i18n import i18nCatalog
      catalog = i18nCatalog("cura")

      def getMetaData():
      return {

          "mesh_writer": {
              "output": [{
                  "extension": "ebp",
                  "description": catalog.i18nc("@item:inlistbox", "G-code File"),
                  "mime_type": "text/x-gcode",
                  "mode": GCodeWriter.GCodeWriter.OutputMode.TextMode
              }]
          }
      }
      

      def register(app):
      return { "mesh_writer": GCodeWriter.GCodeWriter() }

      The next thing I'd like to figure out is how to edit or stop Cura adding text to the start of the output file. This needed to be deleted before you can print.

      Example: Yellow text need deleting or a way of having the ebp@280 line first (I think the printer FW looks for this to authenticate the file is suitable for the printer).
