well, I just made a short test in which I unplugged the Pendant and plugged the PanelDue as usual. The Macro in this configuration works just fine. So, apparently, it is a problem with the Pendant. I will post the problem over the Pendant post.

The closest thing I‘ve seen similar to what would be using Stall detection as a Z probe is the Smart Effector on a Delta. It is not the same, as it is based in some other phenomenon, but you effectively use the nozzle tip a sensor. Maybe one could design a carriage for a cartesian printer this this technology??

BTW, buying the Smart Effector for my Delta was one of the best decisions I‘ve done (3D Printing related, that is).

Well, I did change the trigger height to 16.25 and re-run the delta calibration. The Delta Height changed by 0.2mm (or so). I approached the nozzle to the bed until Z=0 and, sure enough, I got nice paper grab...

Thanks a lot, everybody

Yesterday I noticed something weird while using the pendant. The multiplier knob was set at x10 and, not thinking about it, I tried to move the Z axis. Because I turned the wheel too much, I got a message on the display telling me to chill out (paraphrasing here) because I wanted to move more than the axis allows. So far, so good. However the X axis moved a little bit instead, even though the Z axis was selected on the axis knob. Now that's weird. Once I switched to x0.1 multiplier, the Z axis moved ok.
Knowing that, I'll be more careful from now on, but I am really curious if this is a "global" bug or it is just me.

I am using an Arduino Nano and I changed the resistor on it in order for the bypass of the display to work. The Arduino Pro Micro I ordered came when the Pendant was already assembled, so I saw no reason to open it up again. Also, I did not update the firmware to the latest version, as I understood it was only Pro Micro related and I didn't see a point on doing it.

Cheers!

aren't you missing something?. The error tells you exactly what is happening. Instead of looking to your config files, check the continuity of you motor cables. I got this error once and it pop up because one of the motor cables was pinch by the printer's frame and eventually was severed. I repaired the cable and everything was fine.

well, if anyone is following this thread, I just want to mention that it has been solved.

The issue was the name of the macro together with the firmware version of the Paneldue. I changed the name of the macro to be just text and it worked fine. And just for the sake of it, I updated the firmware to the latest version. Everything works just fine now.

Well, i mixed the code on the 3 independent homing files into one homeall.g file (see below). It appears to work without any issues...

I hope this post helps somebody else with similar issues.

Thanks a lot, everyone.

@Phaedrux thanks a lot for your help. Actually shortly after I posted the question I found where the problem was. The command disabling the heated bed was being called twice. I cleaned it up and now everything seems to be working just fine. Thanks a lot again!

Well, I finally got the time to do some experimenting. If I understood that correctly, I was mistaken regarding the G10 command. It seems it's like this:

P1 is G54 (WCS #1)
P2 is G55 (WCS #2)
etc.

@mdalacu said in NEJE-like Laser as CNC upgrade:

@chimaeragh @FelixH Maybe someone with more knowledge than us could look at that test board and tell us if it is safe.
The test board has an IC roughly the same size as 74HCT02 underneath the 3 digit display, but I can not tell which one. I don't what to disassemble the board since it is working just great.

mmm... I do not need such information. As I said, I made myself the Duet recommended board for using lasers and it works as advertised...

@mdalacu I don't think they designed the circuit @chimaeragh displays just for the sake of it. I actually build that circuit with TTH components and it has been working great

Hi all,

Yesterday I just finished setting up a new printer I built from scratch. Nothing spectacular, mind you. It is a cartessian printer with 2 extruders (Bondtech) which connect to a single hotend with one of these 2-in-1 Y parts.

After much diving into the documentation and wiki pages, I was able to set up the different motors, calibrate them, etc. Now I can extrude from each of the extruders by selecting the corresponding tool.

Today I was planning to do 10 minutes research and set up the slicer and run a first test but, alas, I was too optimistic.

I only use PrusaSlicer even though I have no Prusa printer. I've never had a problem so I would rather stick with it as I am very familiar with it use.

For the life of me I have not been able to find a simple configuration example for my kind of setup on PrusaSlicer (or Slic3r PE, as it was formally known).

I know that for each tool change, on filament will have to retract and the other will have to be inserted. Also, as it is common nowadays, I will want to use a wipe tower.

Now I have no idea how to proceed or what the best option is.

On PrusaSlicer I have the following settings, which I thing they have something to do my my setup, but I am not sure:

I have also the Tool Change Gcode on the Custom Gcode settings.

Also on the Duet /sys folder I have a bunch of macros or .g files that, as I understand it, are called when a tool change is called.

Now, I am assuming that maybe the files on the duet and the Tool Change Gcode are equivalent? It is either one or the other?. The same is true for the Settings noted above (picture).

If somebody would be willing to give me a hand with it, I am really confused right now. The worst thing is that I've been digging the net and I haven't come across with any tutorial, instructable or video explaining the thing.

Any help would be much appreciated it

I've just checked. You can set separate settings. Actually I've just done it for the M92 command

I will try to see if it still works if it has only half of the settings. I have no idea...

Why wouldn‘t be possible to have different settings? What would be the point to have the possibility to set two settings if it wasn‘t?

If somebody lands on this thread looking for the same info as I was, here you have it. This is what did it after some headaches:

I have no M584 command. I think that's it. Going to see the documentation.

UPDATE: so, that was it. I had no M584 mapping command. I read it completely by chance while reviewing the M305 command... Anyway now it works as I expected on both the web interface and the PanelDue display.

Thanks for sticking with me @Phaedrux

So, when I turn on the printer a whole lot of error codes flashed on the PanelDue screen. It was so fast, I had to recorded with my phone with the Slow-Mo option. The errors are as follows:

Error in the macro file line 32 column 32: M350 array too long, max length = 1
Error in the macro file line 33 column 34: M92 array too long, max length = 1
Error in the macro file line 34 column 34: M566 array too long, max length = 1
Error in the macro file line 35 column 41: M203 array too long, max length = 1
Error in the macro file line 36 column 35: M201 array too long, max length = 1
Error in the macro file line 37 column 35: M906 array too long, max length = 1

So I checked the documentation and I changed this snipped:

M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16:16 I1                        ; Configure microstepping with interpolation
M92 X100.00 Y100.00 Z400.00 E408:408          	  ; Set steps per mm

M906 X650.00 Y800.00 Z800.00 E800:800 I30  	  ; Set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent

for this one:

Unfortunatelly, however. Nothing changed.

Yeah, but I have a new lead. Hold on

Just did, no change.

At this point I am wondering if it is at all possible a hardware error, like a bad crimped cable or something like that.
