@dc42 thanks for the reply
May i signed for alpha/beta for 6xd
I have all the experience with d2/d3 and really wanna try it. Willing to test only recommended cl drivers
Dont want put 4x1hcl and waist all internal ports

@dc42 set it to preorder somethere %-) willing to put some buks there

My current WIP project
printer: east3d gecko
board: duet
extruder: nimble

suppose to work with 4-6 heads (at least I hope it will)

videos
unload
load

If it still relevant,
m92 e{move.extruders[0].stepsPerMm}:1333 works in 3.xx

Currently its all printed (ABS/PETG)
waiting for a steel locations pins
and after finish all the beta - will cnc both plates

After that - duet per tool config offset

Currently its kind of loosy, BUT, because of that and the magnets - it fit exact the same position every time %-)

Hi,
I found some curios bug if Im using G3 operation with f360 + universal pp 1.5 + enabled arc/circle

It creates oval (X axis is the most affected one)

The greater cutting feed the worse the "circle". That one on a picture if I remember correctly was made with 2400 mm/min

And here the result when I disabled arc movements (same feed rate)

@t3p3tony syntax, im talking about syntax
the idea is (same as it in programming)
you creating your own template system, you are using standard
you creating your own variant of the language, you are using same as a bigger project (so you can grab parts from there without modification)

@catalin_ro Im using 6xd, so no direct drivers
direct one - I had many issues with d2, with d3 not so much, but I rarely push the limits

overheating - not sure its an issue - used to run d3 in 45-50 outside

rest - donno,
I just foresee that due to limited numbers of users that env would not be able to grow naturally (not only create something required, but also support it for prolonging period of time)

example: I can create (and I did) cnc pendant, will probably code it till some finished module
but in case I switch to another project it most likely would be abandoned

same for all "not critical / not mainstream" parts

With 3d its easier (its more general in terms), but still linear adv, ....

at the moment it not limit me a lot, but will see how its go

I have issue with G3. it looks like something is wrong within the duet itself, it looks good in gcode viewers, but created an oval

will check and probably open a d3 issue
at the moment I back to thousands of segments

So I'll not be able to reuse code for other env, we have to create and SUPPORT owr own

@droftarts Im not talking about clear gcode
Im talking about gcode flavor

Example:
I cant use code post processed / designed for linuxcnc
I have to use separate post processor (which work quite good for f360 btw)

so if i want using something but f360, or use existed code for lcnc / mach3 i have to spend tremendos of time each time, so in long term it not worth it (except for me personally)

@chimaeragh Yes,
Im using it, with few modification (have probably made merger request if it'll be interested)
that's where I find that we are probably heading the wrong way

examples:

1. I want using the probe (fusion360), ok - let say, that I'll be able to write/debug code for it myown (support - probably no)
2. I want using linuxcnc addon for probes (they have like 50 scripts (tested/and updated) for probing,
   but different gcode flavor, so in order to make it work I need to translate it line by line
3. I wanna try other CAM,

What Im saying is - duet3d cnc community is not that huge (at least now and in a few years) to create/support all that may be required and avaiable on a open-source-like enviroments

If (IHMO) d3 uses some of the more spreaded gcode flavor that can help spread the board itself

P.S. I myself probably be able to code it myself
P.P.S. or I'd realize that I spend more time coding (something needed me only) than cncing

Hi,
Im start using d3 as cnc controller
Works just great
Im using some post-processor for fusion360 + some modification in it, but I think its no a road should be followed:

1. d3 has not enough cnc folowers (and would not have enough in a few years) compare to march3 or linuxcnc
2. as a result of p1 - it would be quite a limited support for post processors - probably only the very basic features for major cam only
3. if I try moving/port something from lcnc/m3 eviroment it would be quite hard, since I would be needed to emulate the difference in first place

That said, I think it worths considuring moving cnc gcode style toward lcnc / m3 or any other standard (tormach ?)

P.S. Im not even close to be named as a cnc newbe, im just walking around cnc ). I do IT system design for a living, and that exact part I force my teams to avoid in my projects )

@t3p3tony Thank you
and following our conversation the other day
pendant video

Next newbe question would be how to set it as a plugin

Hi,
Quite a newbe to Python DSF. may you please point me to the right direction
I'd like to be able to send multiple commands to Duet through python

Thanks
