Thank you very much darookee, can I ask what setup you have as well?

I've searched and I can't seem to find anything relevant to this and it could be my simple ignorance to this (As I'm new to the Duet and reprap firmware) but I can't seem to find anyone using 'Suggested' gcode start and end code?

Can I ask what all you lot out there are using in yours? I'm trying to work out what is needed and not needed now with my new setup.

This is what I am using now as it was what I used on my old printer

Start Code

G21 ;metric values
G90 ;absolute positioning
M82 ;set extruder to absolute mode
M107 ;start with the fan off
G28

End Code

M104 S0 ; turn off extruder
M140 S0 ; turn off bed
G1 X0 Y200 F1000 ; prepare for part removal
M107 ; Fan Off
M84 ; disable motors

I do get errors on start a print now but I'm not sure whats best to put in there? Should I do G29? As I have the mini IR sensor for auto leveling.

I'm curious to see what everyone else does for theres

Thanks

Thank you! Turns out it was a combination of two things! Added the H1 and it was a dodgy crimp on the connector!

I have an E3D Titan aero and I have my hotend fan plugged into fan 1 that should be thermostatically controlled with the hot end heating to 45oC but the thing will not turn on?

[[G-Code]]
M106 P0 S0 I0 F500 H-1 ; Set fan 0 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off
M106 P1 S1 I0 F500 H T45 ; Set fan 1 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned on

I've tested the fan connecting it directly to the 12v power supply and it is perfectly fine any suggestions?

Yeah I've completely replaced anything anet related now! So it's basically a completely new machine!

I'm got movement starting to happen on the printer but it looks like the z-axis keep skipping steps and I've just upped the mA to 1800! I've to get the printer printing again before I can attach my IR Z-probe as I need to print (And find) a suitable mount for it!

So is there anything you'd give me a heads up about on the quirks of reprapfirmware for a newbie?

What about the extruder microstepping? Would you guys use the 256 or leave at 16/32 steps? It's the pancake stepper from E3D

Hello all!

Completely new to reprapfirmware but not to 3D printing. Had my anet A6 for over a year now and I've upgraded everything to basically a new printer (bastardised AM6 to AM8 with with 0.9 steppers, ultrabase and titan aero) my new purchase has just been dispatched the duet WiFi!

So my question is, my old board needed separate MOSFET for the heated bed, and I burnt out my ramps 1.4 fuse with the bed as it was drawing 13 amps.

Will I need this with the duet WiFi?

Also I'm debating upping everything to 24v shortly other than hot end and rewiring the bed to 24v can the duet downstep the volts to 12v for the fans or do I need to pick that up 24v fans too?

Thank you!
