@Phaedrux Thank you, how did I forget this? Anyway, I updated the post.

I've got the following Dued3D boards that I'm no longer needing and would like sell them:

• 1x - Duet 3 6HC : $150 - This board has never been used. I purchased it for a Voron build but ended up not using it. This price includes the 1LC tool board.
• 1x - Duet PanelDue 5i : $50 - Never used.
• 2x Duet 2 Wifi boards : $90 each - These boards have been used in two, now retired, heavily modified, Ender 3 printers.

These boards are not clones. The Duet 2 boards were purchased sometime around 2018 I believe, and the Duet 3 board were purchased sometime around 2021.

Photos of the board are in my google photos

I'm somewhat flexible on the prices, though, not by much.

I'm located in the Minneapolis, MN area and will ship anywhere. Buyer pays actual shipping costs.

@dc42 They indeed are Dave. I believe I got them from MaterHackers.

I've got several that I'm wanting to sell and wondering if posts about this are ok?

OK, I figured it out. Reading another post, I discovered the M997 command.

I issued M997 and it reapplied 3.2.2, and then M997 S1 to apply the web update.

Then M552 S1 P"SSID" and it connected.

I have to say it. There is no better way to run a 3d printer than with these boards. The ability to make config changes like this without having to recompile the firmware... priceless

I upgraded my Duet 2 wifi to Release 3.2 back February 2021 and again to release 3.2.2 yesterday. But something did not work as expected(or it did and I did something incorrectly, more likely.) because now wifi is not coming up.

I downloaded Duet2and3Firmware-3.2.2.zip and did the upload as normal from the system page. I left it and when I got back to it today, there was no WIFI. I can connect vi USB ok. I've tried bringing it up manually from yat:

M552 S-1
ok
M552 S1 P"SSID"
ok
M552
WiFi module is being started
ok

What I find interesting is, after doing the above to manually bring up the wifi, M122 says WIFI is disabled:

- WiFi -
Network state is starting2
WiFi module is disabled
Failed messages: pending 0, notready 0, noresp 0
Socket states: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
ok

Everything was working normally before the attempted update, but I've been tried manually doing the update by copying the firmware files to /Firmware and removing the firmware bin files from /sys but this has not worked. I figured, before I get too far down the rabbit hole, I should probably ask for help as its been about a year since I've played with this stuff.

My config file should bring WIFI up, however, when I issue M552, I get: "WiFi module is being started"

If I issue a M587 I get: "Error: M587: Failed to retrieve network list: another SPI transfer is pending"

My M122 output:

Its it best if my G30 probing locations are equidistant from X center? Just wondering as with my probe on the left side of the extruder, I can probe the far left edge of my bed.

Awesome guys.. Thank you. That's one thing I love about 3d printing, I never stop learning new things.

It was mostly working, I was just trying to be certain I understood what was going on. I think I'll need to remeasure the distance from Xmin/Xmax to the screw centers, I just took a very rough measurement the first time. How accurate should these measurements be?

I've got a very modified Ender 3 with dual z motors. For a few weeks now I've just been running both motors in series but just last night moved the second motor over to E4:

M584 X0 Y1 Z2:4 E3                             ; set drive mapping

I'm having trouble understanding the relationship between the axis limits defined with M208, and the X/Y coordinates I specify in the M671 command. Currently my axis limits are:

M208 X0:210 Y0:210 

And M671:

M671 X-20:220 Y0:0 S0.5

My assumption is that the X/Y settings in M671 are the offsets to where the Z acme rods are, in reference to the X/Y locations specified with M208. So for instance with M672 X-20, the X-20 would be 20mm BEFORE X0. Is this correct?

My config files are attached:
config(4).g
bed.g
homeall.g
homez.g

That did it Danal. Thanks much. I would not have figured that out myself.

I'm stumped. Maybe I've just been looking at it too long. Maybe someone here can see something stupid I'm not seeing.

My system: Ender 3 pro with a Duet 2 Wifi running 3.01-RC2

Problem:
I have some endstop offsets set for X & Y axis that moves the extruder a few mm away from the edges of the glass plate and the clips that hold it down:

; Axis Limits
M208 X-3 Y-3 Z0 S1                       ; set axis minimums
M208 X200 Y215 Z200 S0                   ; set axis maxima

If I issue G0 X0 Y0, I am able to manually jog to X-3 and Y-3. I thought that G0 X0 & Y0 positions would be limits and that I shouldn't be able to move beyond them? What am I missing?

config.g

Can you post your config.g and bed.g files

@Phaedrux said in Quick question about Z endstops and z-probe:

Otherwise, using the probe as described in that link is the prefered method since it's using the actual bed surface to find the position and tilt of the bed. If you use endstops, you're leveling the gantry to the endstops, not actually the bed. Since you have the probe, might as well use it.

My concern with not using endstops and leveling the gantry to them, is I'm using linear rails and they need to be kept inline from my understanding. I could be wrong.

@Phaedrux said in Quick question about Z endstops and z-probe:

Setting up the independent z motor leveling isn't too difficult. You don't need dual endstops to do it if you have a probe already. It probes one side and then the other and adjust the motor to level it to the bed. You can also use mesh compensation on top of that to map out the bed surface and any other existing tilts or deformations.

Yeah, that's where I'm at. I need to figure out how to config this. Either with dual z endstops or using the bltouch for both.

The problem is, my Ender really isn't an Ender any longer. The weight being supported by the single leadscrew, and driven by a single motor is significant. And I've got an E3D Hemera that needs to go on.

Thanks guys;
So what about a dual independent z-motor configuration? I'm not currently using two z motors but given recent purchased by me, this is something I may need to do. Honestly, only thing really stopping me was that I didn't understand how best configure the two Z end-stop switches so that the X-axis would home level,AND have the BLTouch for mesh bed leveling as well. Or maybe I don't need mesh bed leveling with dual Z endstops, but it seems like the would still be some benefit.

I have an Ender 3 that I've had working with the Duet 2 WiFi board for some time now, most recently on v3 of the firmware, and things are working well. I've been using the BLTouch for Z-homing and mesh bed leveling and I quite like it, but the Ender also has a two-wire switch on z which at present is not configured.

Is there any benefit to using the z-switch for homing z, which X & Y already do, and just using the BLTouch for mesh bed leveling? If so, how do I go about configuring that.

My configs are here

L O L.. ok I feel stupid. You were 100% correct. I've been printing PETG lately and it does not like to be squished, so I've got a slight Z-offset in my slicer for this. I had forgot about that when I printed this.

Thanks @garyd9

Most of the major config for my Ender 3 pro is working so I figure would try a print. The print is this and its clear that something is not right. I would guess its something to do with steps/mm or something like that, but I'm not sure.
