@droftarts Got it. It was the delta radius issue. I didn't think that would prevent the move, but, apparently it did. Thanks.

Changed to X2, Y2, Z2, LED's now illuminate when away from end stops, printer homes, but still cannot move axis.

So, I've used the duet on a few (5 or 6) printers for several years, but it's been a while since I was in the nitty gritty of setting one up. I inherited an old delta and switched all the wiring over from the MKS setup. I can access the web portal and home the printer, but I cannot move the printhead. Any ideas on what might be going on here? Endstops seem to be correct, as it homes and the LED's light up upon homing.

So, I've had this printer running at work for years. Came in this morning after a successful print and tried to start another. Z axis drive was going bonkers. Opened up the back cover and found burned connector. Any ideas as to why this may have happened?
Is this board toast?
More info: The Z-Axis has two 1.5A motors running in parallel on it: https://www.jugetek.com/product-page/nema17-60mm-1-5a-high-0-65nm-high-torque-stepper-motor

Anyone have any ideas on what the issue(s) might be with my delta? I have four printers here, two deltas and two TF5's. Neither of the FT5's show this issue (after years of upgrades) and neither does the large delta that I built from scratch.

This print is off the first delta I built a few years ago (FT kit with upgrades) and I've never been able to get it to perform as good as the others. I'm wondering if it's thermal in some way since it seems to get worse in the winter, or if it's just some mechanical problem. I've never understood why it does the helical pattern either.

Awesome. Thank you!

As the subject says, I have a Duet WiFi, V1.02, and a wire was ripped from the hot end assembly (fan wire, if I recall correctly) which shorted the board. The board boots up but it's not working correctly anymore. It appears as though a component labeled "WK8 P9" (transistor, I assume) with three leads on it located at TR5 blew up.

Can someone tell me what this is so I can attempt to get a replacement and fix the board?

Thanks.

Update:

I had been trying to save the print, but eventually just gave up and rebooted the printer this morning. Guess what.. It's working fine.

Is it possible that the driver overheated?

So I've been running couple of printers with Duets for a while now (years) and I just had my converted FT5 (an XY variant) wig out on me. I was 97% of the way through a 5 day print when one of the stepper motors started acting like it was wired incorrectly, making grinding type noises and moving strangely.

I thought maybe one of the wires to the motor was frayed or something so I ran a new set in through the harness. Same problem.
I then ran a separate set of wires outside the machine from the board to the motor. Same problem.
I had another new stepper motor lying around, so I ran the new wires to it and ... same problem.

Did one of the stepper drivers die on this thing? I can't think of anything else it could be at this point.

It's right there.... in my last post... the third picture. I'll post it here again, but this time not as a picture?

FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 1.21 ELECTRONICS: Duet 0.85 FIRMWARE_DATE: 2018-03-21

Here's the relevant info:

M916 isn't supported. It's saying "M916 command is not supported".

Yeah, 1.21.

I did that.
The documentation says "... you can use command M916 to resume the print from where it stopped."

As I stated above, I set up the file sys/resurrect-prologue.g, but when I sent the M916 command, I got an "unsupported command" error.

I was guessing that this was because I didn't catch it in the first three hours?
Is there some other way to restart the print?

I added the resurrect-prologue.g file to the sys folder when I was trying to get it restarted this morning, but it didn't make any difference.

I was printing a rather large print at work over he weekend, and after about 40 hours of printing, the printer had a heater fault. Three hours later (10800 seconds), the console reported that the print was cancelled due to the un-cleared heater fault.

I've read that you can resume a print using resurrect.g, but when I try to use M916 to reactivate, I receive an "unsupported command" error. Is there any way for me to salvage this print, or am I dead in the water?

Speaking as a machninist/journeyman tool & die maker/mechianical and manufacturing engineer (yes, I'm old), what you want is commonly known as aluminum "jig plate". It's more formally known as MIC6. https://www.mcmaster.com/#=1c9j1n4

Jig plate is normally very flat on the top/bottom so it will make a decent heat bed. 5000 series aluminum is generally used in fabrication (punching/forming) applications, and as such, can be flat, but is usually sheared which can leave the sheet twisted. I used .25" (~6mm) 5000 series for my 12" X 12" (300mm square) printer and it's fairly decent when it comes to flatness. I should have used jig plate, but it was a bit more expensive and we had the 5052 here in stock.

OMG, I'm an idiot.

In my defense, I had this board laying around for a few months before I installed it (at work), and I thought it was the "ethernet" version…. I just searched the board for the version info this morning.

I'm sorry to waste your time everyone (especially Dave).

I've tried 1.18, 1.19 and 1.21, all called "DuetEthernetFirmware.bin" as I don't see anything specific for the V0.8.5.
