    • My Duet Printer

      20200715_125016.jpg

      This is my larger printer, approx 500mm by 500mm by 400mm in z. Fully enclosed with an arduino based air quality/temp/humidity setup. I need to swap out a ballscrew as I have a bent one (from new...). I am using Prusaslicer to generate Gcode which seems to work nicely for me.

      Next change will be to water cool the motors as they get toasty in there (all the electronics sit underneath with a fan to cool.

    • RE: G32 maximum deviation over 2mm

      aha, I have M671 X-85:620:620 Y300:60:500 S2
      Presumably I change the 2 to say a 5 and we are off?

      cheers

    • RE: Lack of extrusion?

      So, retraction at 0.3 got probably 90% of the way there. Will try the perimeters next

    • RE: Lack of extrusion?

      @phaedrux 20% was much improved. I am now going to try 18% as still some very slight marks. The prints take a few days each so feedback is not the fastest, but it is a good test. Thanks for help

    • RE: Lack of extrusion?

      @blacksheep99 OK, so perimeters have now eradicated it completely. I am however getting a bleed through of the infill into the outer walls. I am printing 3 outer walls (0.8mm nozzle) and only 5% infill (the wavy prusa slicer one). I didnt have this before but not sure if it is linked to the changes or not as I have swapped to fiberlogy filament as I ran out of the 3DFilaprint PETG large spools

    • RE: Lack of extrusion?

      @blacksheep99 so, I am using 1.4 mm retraction, I can try lowering that (35mm/s speed also)

      @Phaedrux yes, I have that selected, again I will try that

      I have just started a 2 days print so will tweak after that

      many thanks both

      Cheers

    • Lack of extrusion?

      2021-05-19 18.23.19.jpg

      I am getting strange gaps in the outer perimeters of parts. It looks to me like pressure advance but I have disabled pressure advance and it is still doing it. Everything else seems OK, steps per mm etc etc

      I am using a hemera extruder but was also getting this with a different Aqua extruder.

      Sliced with Prusa slicer

      It seems to be at the start of the extrusion

      TIA

      Essentially can a 'tool' consist of a toolboard AND other inputs elsewhere?

      be connected to different boards.

      yes

      ahh, yes, didnt spot that. Would help if I read things properly! Cheers

      @CTRDevelopments said in Duet 3 Tools:

      Is this possible using toolboards on the Duet 3 as one motor would be on the tool board and now wouldnt

      I'm not sure what you mean with this. Using a toolboard for the spool motor would be possible yes, but seems overkill for just a motor. Or I am missing what you're saying.

      sorry, what i mean is if I have the actual tool (direct drive extruder motor, heater, Pt100, filament monitor) all connected to a toolboard physically on the tool itself, can I programmatically sync a second bowden extruder to this. This bowden extruder will NOT be connected to the same toolboard, rather just connected to the main board.

      Essentially can a 'tool' consist of a toolboard AND other inputs elsewhere?

      Of course if I could connect 14 motors to a Duet 2 then I would be laughing 🙂

      DC, thats what I have got now, which works fine. Is this possible using toolboards on the Duet 3 as one motor would be on the tool board and now wouldnt

    • Duet 3 Tools

      I have a question re Duet 3 and tools. I am looking at converting from Duet 2 to Duet 3 on my larger printer so that I can implement a toolchanger on it for multiple tools. The need to change to Duet 3 is that I will run out of motor inputs on Duet 2. [1 for x, 2 for y, 3 for z and then each tool needs 2 and I want more than 2 tools if I do this]. However each tool has a direct drive motor on the toolhead and a bowden style motor close to the spools. These are physically 1.5 ish metres apart. The idea of the toolboard makes sense for wiring but to then have to have 4 wires going back from each toolboard (direct drive motor) to the bowden motor defeats the point. Is it possible to map the motors to a single 'tool' even though one would be on a toolboard and another on something else (direct into the main board)?

      Hopefully this makes sense

      Cheers

      Matt
