Well here's the results lol.

The blue pieces in a 'square' are made with eSUN PETG as a fast test. First print with both X and Y gantries replaced with linear guides/rails (whatever people wanna call em). So now aka Janky v4

The clear/white is Solutech PETG with the carbon fiber tubes on both X and Y gantries..... noticeable improvement... holy crap... This is basically Janky v3

The gray pieces connected together are made with Hatchbox "Silver" PETG and have been significantly 'post processed' with razors and such. Done on what was Janky v2

And finally the blue pieces connected together were made on the very first version of Janky, which was holy crap terrible... but hey, it worked! Used the completely wrong settings for EVERYTHING... 0.4mm nozzle with 0.4mm layer height, 135% layer width, yadda yadda, complete garbage.

They were printed with Hatchbox ABS, and had the least 'post processing' of anything ironically. They just snapped together, and with alittle silicone lube, work perfectly fine. They have a slight 'uphill' travel to them but hey, they work!

Anyway, this was basically just to showcase that linear guides/rails are hands down just worth the money... 23 bucks for two carbon fiber tubes, or 23 bucks for a linear guide/rail... I'll now take that rail any day... so much easier to model parts for, so much easier to work with, so much easier in actual use....

Also, as a side note:
The test print wasn't entirely successful, hence the terrible look. The extruder kept jamming every couple of minutes, so the gaps/uneven looking shells are attributed to that... Idk why it jams so much now. All I did from v2 to v3/4 was move it from one z post to the other so that the filament was easier to reach lol.

See my reply in the other thread.

Will do!

That's the exact confusion though. Why would someone expect firmware to be in Documentation? Why would someone expect DUET firmware to be in 'reprap' firmware? Yes the machines that are using the Duet boards are basically repraps, and it is based on reprap firmware, but people going to the site are expecting DUET firmware. Then, further, 'firmware overview' is just as out of place because you go there to expect an overview of what the firmware is CAPABLE of…

All of which, yes that's where I went to get the firmware inevitably, but it was a chore to actually hunt down and locate after a complete site overhaul it seems.

The better, and by far easiest thing to have done... was at the top including a 'downloads' section, like just about every other website out there in existence that requires a download to take place in order to use their products (or at the very least, a 'support' link, which then contains a 'downloads' link)... Then a warning label of 'Attention! It is highly advised that you read through these notes!' and have the 'these notes' section clickable, or at least a link underneath the statement... Then followed by "Download this version here, and this version here" sort of things, and presto... you can find it all in one click…

I'm not trying to bash and such, just stating that man the organization structure is cumbersome to navigate, and multiple documents have conflicting information or straight up misinformation...

Also, as a plus note:
This version is WAY more stable (for me anyway) than 1.18 ever was... I don't have to power cycle the board 30 times to get it to connect to my Access Point, the sensors display proper information, fan sliders work without any weird tweaking, and the overall speed between navigating pages/tabs is alot quicker. Really do love the way it works now, even if it does typically take a long bit of work to get going.

Of which is another awesome note! Completely rebuilt the printer, and it printed perfectly the very first time with zero tweaks required! THAT I can say a RAMPS board would never be capable of doing lol. Good work! Seriously!

@It does not look like the RC connection is compatible with the ATX power on supported by the Duet:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX#Power_supply

The Duet expects to turn the power on by connecting the RC signal to ground. It looks like this power supply works the opposite way:
1 RC+ Turns the output on and off by electrical or dry contact between pin 2 (RC-), Short: Power OFF, Open: Power ON.
2 RC- Remote control ground

@darve16:

I had this same problem! My print head was visibly stuttering during perimeters where one perimeter pass would end and the next concentric perimeter pass would start. The issue was my jerk speed was too low. For some reason, M566 in the config.g file for jerk or instantaneous speed change is in units of mm/min rather than mm/sec, so you have to be cognizant of that when you dial in your settings. I just stepped mine up to 2400 mm/min (40 mm/sec) and now my perimeters are printing beauteously, and not leaving an obvious bump where the part's seam is.

I really hope this solves your problem. It solved it for me!

I don't know if you'll see this, but THANK YOU! This turned out to be exactly my problem.

The parameters stored are listed in the wiki entry:
https://duet3d.com/wiki/G-code#M500:_Store_parameters

I also resisted using M500 but now just use it to save typeing, especially after delta calibration:

Run M500, go to system files, open config-overide.g, copy the values. open config.g paste the values….

Maybe I should just remove them from config.g completely and only use the config-override.g values now i think about it!

Lol sounds nice. My printer is literally made from a recycled swingset into a prusa i3 style printer. usually it works perfectly fine and have had zero issues, until this week when it seems everything wanted to die all at once…
