Over the past several years I have had different 3D printers and controllers, Melzi, MKS... I have used Marlin and repetier firmware, all with success and generally I have always been able to print what I needed.

My latest is a TronXY X5SA Pro, I really like the mechanics of this printer, it's solid and works well. The stock controller was not terrible, but I wanted better ( to me anyway ). I replaced the controller with a Duet WiFi and 5" paneldue display.

For the most part the new setup just worked. Had to change my way of thinking from what I did in the past, but it was not a big deal.

For what issues I did have questions about, folks on this forum provided quick and useful help and made things that much easier.

So thanks to the developers of this hardware and firmware and to the folks that helped me and the many others I see in the forum.

I had issues trying to set a static IP as well. I finally got it to work with some suggestions. The steps seems to be very picky. See this thread,

@droftarts

I did think of that, but I notice my MCU just never gets hot and I think it is too far removed from the drivers.

@fcwilt

If I ever open up my controller case, it would not be horrible to glue a thermistor to one of the drivers.

Thanks

OK, I think I got it, was not hard to figure out. Seems M584 is order driven. I just changed Z2:4 to Z4:2 and it seem to be working.

The macro sets the Z height offset which I do before every printing run.

Removing that line you pointed out fixed the issue.

@phaedrux

Shhh, don't tell my fans that

@drmaestro

Sounds like you are getting a handle on things. By any chance do the 2 12V fans you have run at the same time? If they do, maybe just run them is series on 24V.

@drmaestro

For the hot end fan, I don't think it comes on until a certain temperature is reached, I think set in the config file. For cooling fan, are you talking about the part cooler?

Are you starting with the same config file from the previous setup?

@drmaestro

For fans, I think you can power 5V fans from the duet, other than that, the fans have to match your supply voltage, so you will need 24V fans. You also have to set the fan voltage source on the duet

@drmaestro

I don't know where you are, but I saw some 480 Watt on Amazon.

@drmaestro

OK, 10W more than my guess. I think you would be better off with a bigger power supply, you could try the one you have and if it runs, run it till it quits.

With a 200W bed heater, the duet will be fine without a relay.

@drmaestro

If you got the 200W bed heater and if your nozzle heater is the standard 40 Watt, say that leaves you with 60W for everything else ( you probably don't want to run right to 350Watts of the supply. 60W is 2.5 Amps at 24V, you still might be cutting it close with the duet, steppers, and fans, but you could push that margin if you want. I would also step up to a 480W supply.

yes, 200W is more appropriate for that bed size anyway.

What size ( wattage ) nozzle heater are you using?
