I'm using a Tenlog Hands 2 which I modified with a Duet3 MB 6HC and a EB 3HC.

So it's a IDEX with two tools on one X-rail.

Hey,

after taking measurements on the board for finding the problem regarded in my other thread I noticed that the connections of out0 to out2 are swapped.

Taking a multimeter and testing the connections of the header against Vin I have a connection from the pins marked "PWM_Vin" to Vin, and no connection to Vin on the Pins marked V_FUSED.

So if I didn't got the diagram wrong, there is a mistake, which can lead to wrong polarity on the connected parts.

My board is V1.0

It would be good if someone could also check this on his bord to verify the problem.

@jay_s_uk @droftarts

Updating totaly solved the problem... sometimes the easiest fixes are the best ones....

Thanks for your fast support!

@fcwilt Well, I would say for normal quality nozzles the tolerances are trivial, so it could be seen as the same for the particular manufacturer and nozzle type

@fcwilt correct, and (as I just edited ) the tool-offset of the second extruder

Oh, sorry that was imprecise by me...

I'm using a BLTouch, so I have to readjust the offset of the sensor so the nozzel touches the bed when at Z0

An for the second extruder the Tool-offset

Hey,
I'm often printing with changing nozzle diameters and therefore different nozzle with different heights (measured from the end of the screw to the tip, aka the height of the external part of the nozzle).

So it would be very helpful to have a input field in the settings to set the actual nozzle height for the extruders without touching the config each time.

Would be cool if someone could implement this.

Hey,
I just stumbled over a mistake in the tutorial for configuring a IDEX-Printer.

It states that the U-offset should be added / subtracted from the M208 U-Axis value.

"Subtract the U co-ordinates from the X co-ordinates and you have the rough offsets for U and Y. For the U value, increase or decrease the value of M208 Uxxx by the U offset, so that when the U axis is homed and then travels back to the spot it is above it for the same X co-ordinate as the X axis. For the Y co-ordinate add it to the G10 P1 Yx.x tool definition."

Source

By doing this you change the virtual length of the axis in relation to the actual length, which results in changing the relation between a virtual mm and a real mm (e.g. 1mm in reprap is 1.2mm in reality).

The correct way is to change the offset in the G10 of the corresponding tool.

For example: G10 P1 U3 Y-3 Z0 (resulting in bringing the tool 3mm more to the front on the Y-axis and 3mm to the right on the X-axis)

Would be nice if this could be corrected.

As stated in this thread, the problem is solved after swapping the cables connected to the 3HC on the out0 / out1 headers.

Hey,

I have a problem and didn't really understand where it derives from.
I'm setting up my Tenlog Hands 2 with a Duet 3 6HC and a 3HC.

The default hotend / extruder combination has a common trace for the hotend 24V supply and the fan's 24V power supply.

I connected the hotend to out0 on the 3HC and the fans to out7 & out8 on the 3HC with the jumper set to V_FUSED.

So looking on the wiring diagram they should also have common V_FUSED on the 3HC and the GND connection switched by a FET (PWM etc.)

But the Duet alsways resets if I enable the heater while the fans are plugged in.
If I don't plug in the fans everything works as expected....

Can someone tell me why this is happening and how to connect this board properly to the extruder?

Thanks
JNB
