    • RE: Bed heater tuning questions

      Get a custom one made. They don't cost all that much, and you can just get the exact size you need to avoid the hassles of either specing them to run in series, or dealing with multiple thermisters and heaters from the control side. I would recommend a thermal switch (manual resettable) that is just above your max temp range incase the SSR fails closed (does happen). Alternatively, you could add a contactor that will trip if a fault occurs (more industrial oriented persons will prefer that method).

    • RE: 3D Printer Water Cooling advice?

      I run my pump when the hot end or chamber temp is over 40C. I have a diode at the end of each trigger. One going from the hot end thermostatic output and one going to the chamber thermostatic output, to the relay for the pump. My fans also exhaust heat from my electronics bay, so they run when the system is powered up, with a powered intake to the electronics bay. You could probably set this up without diodes with conditional operators if you are running a compatible firmware version.

      I have flow controls on the returns of all of my tools and steppers, and I adjusted the flow by watching the flow rate out of the returns and making sure that they all were flowing around the same rate.

      I don't know if cold side temp will affect much in print quality, but I assume that colder is better considering the limitations of watercooling with ambient temps.

    • RE: Intermittent extruder loss and stutters. 6HC/toolboard/RRF3.2

      @phaedrux Thank you.

      Should there be any type of response from the Pi? Everytime I send those commands, it seems like nothing is being changed.

      How can I verify what DSF I have installed?

    • RE: Intermittent extruder loss and stutters. 6HC/toolboard/RRF3.2

      @chrishamm Thanks for the insight.

      I was under the impression that I did update with SBC to the unstable feed, but maybe I am doing it wrong. Could you post the apt string that will give me 3.3b2 for DSF? I thought I was using the correct file link, but the whole process of loading from the unstable feed is very vague to me. I just upgraded to 3.3b2 firmware, and I redid the DSF following the guide for unstable feed, but it seems that it is still not upgrading DSF. It does seem like it took, but when I check, there is no change.

      Regarding the t-codes, this is just factory Cura, and that is how it generated the prime. I use the same gcode on my other duets, and I have never looked into changing that, as it has never been an issue before.

      @dc42

      Just wanted to let you know that in standalone mode I have a print running just fine. So it does seem to be an issue with SBC mode. Thoughts?

    • RE: Intermittent extruder loss and stutters. 6HC/toolboard/RRF3.2

      @dc42 Will do. It is a pretty long task to switch to standalone, so I will try to get that done next week. I have to get our IT department to set up the network (huge pain...I have to do it for anything connected, and I am not running a panel). I'll give standalone a shot next week and report back.

      As far as the gcode goes, that was what Cura output, and it seems that it does that for all of my slices (for any printer). I commented it out and ran a test, and there was no change (extruder did not turn when printing).

      Are there any tricks that will let me keep it in SBC mode and test? If so, I can try to run the tests over the weekend.

    • RE: Intermittent extruder loss and stutters. 6HC/toolboard/RRF3.2

      @dc42 Thank you. I think you might be on to something.

      When it is extruding fine, and when it is not extruding, the input2 name is file, but the drivesRelative is always false (when extruding correctly or when not extruding). Sending m83 or m82 does not change the print or the issue. If I send a m82, I should see that object model change to a drivesRelative=true, and with an m83 I should see it change to a drivesRelative=false. Is that correct? That is not the behaviour I am seeing. I see no change in the object model values.

    • RE: Intermittent extruder loss and stutters. 6HC/toolboard/RRF3.2

      Thank you @dc42 . Just as a note, I do not have to reboot to get a good print going (when it does happen). I just cancel and restart over and over, and after a few tries it will start working correctly. When it does not extrude, I can still pause and extrude fine, but it will only extrude with gcode when I do multiple "restart print"s.

    • RE: Intermittent extruder loss and stutters. 6HC/toolboard/RRF3.2

      I have just confirmed that this is not extruding, but I did have one instance of it extruding with gcode until I paused for less than 5 seconds, and then it reverted back to the same behaviour of not extruding upon resuming the print. I have tried 20 times since, and all attempts do not extrude. I can still extrude just fine with DWC at very high rates, I have tested extrusion with all wires being tugged and wiggled, and I have tried 3 different motors and motor cables, all showing no change.
