@gloomyandy Wil do, Im pleased to help

@dc42 I have reverted back to DWC 3.3.0 (FW still 3.4.0) and text editor works as one can expect - keyboard pops up, copy/paste is back etc.

@kr15_uk the hangprinter kinematic may support a polargraph; a hangprinter is like a 3D polargraph. I’m not sure if you can just define two motor points, or whether the hangprinter kinematic may need to be adapted to support polargraph (one for @dc42 !) to allow support.

@adammhaile @chrishamm Quick update. Obviously this issue went into final 3.4.0 🙄
But... I have downgraded just now to DWC 3.3.0 (FW still 3.4.0) and it works as before, not saying this is a solution but I'll call it good enough for now, until (if at all) it gets fixed.
Might find it useful if not already back on DWC 3.3.0

🤦‍♂️
I was stuck on PanelDue SD card (aka card 1), didn't occur to me to tap on SD card image to switch to Duet card.

Thanks and sorry for silly question.

Kris

There are no silly questions, but sometimes there are silly answers! (but not in this thread).

This idea is pure sport for long winter evenings.

I do already have 3x various Duet boards in my draw, well 2x in the draw hence one is out currently “trialing” on one of the machines.

Thanks for the heads up on mini board though.

@droftarts said in Is this board Genuine or Clone?!:

Duex5 looks similar to my genuine one, except for the heatsinks on the stepper drivers. Do these actually make any difference to? I thought the stepper drivers conducted very little heat through their plastic tops, mostly through their bases into the PCB, and had read that you get better cooling by mounting the heatsinks on the other side of the PCB!

Ian

Precisely so! The stepper drivers have a large metal pad on the bottom to conduct heat away through the PCB. That's also why there are all those small holes underneath each stepper driver - they're called "thermal vias" and serve to increase the surface area of the connection between the chip's power dissipation pad and the copper of the PCB.

Putting heat sinks on top of the drivers is quite pointless if the PCB is correctly designed (which it is in the Duet3D hardware).

Putting them on the bottom might help with the tiny little plug in stepper driver boards used on other hardware, but compared to the size of the PCB on the Duet/Duex boards, I wouldn't imagine they would make any significant difference.
