Well confirmed, heater cartridge needed to be replaced. Thanks for the help.

@phaedrux nope, will try replacing the heater tomorrow and see if that solves it

@phaedrux Yes the hotend heater screw terminals.

I'm not actually sitting at it right this second but earlier I actually measured between E0- and GND, which showed ~24V when off, ~0V when the heater is on. So the FET seems to be working fine. Some kind of configuration error then maybe? I guess potentially the heater cartridge could be toast.

I'm having a problem with my Duet 2 WiFi, it was working though I was getting intermittent heater faults on the hotend. I thought that maybe this was due to a flaky connection (I had leads soldered right to the board because the screw terminal had fallen off) so I ended up replacing the screw terminals. Now I see 20 degrees on the dashboard, but when I turn the heater on (LED comes on), I don't see a change in temperature.

I unplugged the thermistor and saw -273.1, measured the resistance of the thermistor at 125 kOhm, saw the resistance decreasing when I held onto the hotend.

My config is attached below:

I think I ended up narrowing down the issue. My apologies as it seems to have been setting related (I was driving my new NEMA23 way too fast according to the reprap firmware EMF calculator), I backed off the maximum speed and my problem seems to have resolved itself. Thank you all for your suggestions and help.

@dc42 so just tried it, and it doesn’t seem to have alleviated the issue

@dukemachine my apologies life got a little busy. Will try it today.

@phaedrux I’ll give it a shot tomorrow and report back. Thanks!

Well for anyone looking at this one I have a temporary fix anyhow:

I disabled arcs in my post processor (no G2/G3 commands) and my output is as expected.

@mjlew Thanks for taking a look!

Well M115 reported the following:
FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.3 ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 MB6HC v1.01 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2021-06-15 21:45:56

The other G2 commands seem to be behaving fine. I originally suspected it might be a mechanical issue, but this is the second cut its happened in, and it doesn't happen in the same spot on the X axis, and its suspiciously consistent (i.e. in the cut, it occurs at the same point, but not the same point between cuts). Belts are tight, pulley set screws are tight, its not binding so

So I recently updated to a Duet 3 and my CNC has been behaving oddly in the corners. See the picture attached

I wonder if maybe there is something screwy going on with the G2/G3 commands. I've attached the gcode file Beer Flight Chamfer.gcode the error seems to occur here specifically:

G1Y134.004
G2X88.871Y119.004I-15.000J0.000
G3X74.070Y106.441I0.000J-15.000

I've also attached my config.g file config(2).g

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Just wondering if anyone knows if the Duet 3 underwent any vibration testing during development?

I’m thinking of mounting my duet 3 on my CNC gantry but that can be a pretty violent place when stuff goes wrong.

Hi, do you have schematics and such available for this board? It looks like it could be useful for something I'm doing.

Tried a second SD card with a fresh folder structure and it works. So I guess now the question is, why did my SD card get messed up?

I've been using my Duet Maestro in my Lowrider CNC build and its been working fine, previously came out of my Delta printer where it was also working fine. Today I tried to log in to the webpage and couldn't, so I went and looked at the Maestro and neither of the ethernet lights were on, so I figured it was a network issue. After ruling out network issues I decided to connect to the Duet via USB. I was able to enable the network but then when I tried to access the webpage I got the following:

Your Duet rejected the HTTP request: page not found
Check that the SD card is mounted and has the correct files in its /www folder

After that and looking on the forums for some clues I found that I should run M503 and M39 in YAT. For M503 I got an OK response, but for M39 I got "Error: No SD card mounted in slot 0".

Any idea whats going on? Do I just need to reformat the SD card? I plugged it into my laptop (Mac) and it tells me the card needs to be reformatted before it can be read...which I'm reluctant to do, as I don't have a backup.

@Phaedrux So I do have one more question, I have my z-axis home at my lowest point, and I have no bed probe. How exactly do I get the printer to recognize that prints need to start at Z maximum not Z=0?

Solved it, you pointed me in the right direction. My motor directions were different, swapped M569 P4 S0 to S1 and it works great now. Thanks for the help.

Uh now that you mention it, it seems Y moves it in left and right, X moves it backwards and forwards. Whats intended to be the X-axis endstop is front left, y-axis endstop is also front.

Probably a good idea, here they are:

So I'm working on getting my new CoreXY build working. So far, I've run into an issue that I can seem to figure out, the printer will home in Y, but then it will go to home in X when Y is at minimum, and it doesn't move and makes a horrendous racket (motors skipping). If I set the middle of the print area as X0 Y0 with G92 I can move X and Y no problem and they move in the directions I would expect. End stops are all reporting correctly. Any idea whats going on here?
