    • RE: 70 year old retires - Thanks to DC42/T3P3 +everyone who helped me.

      Wow - over 24Kg of parts and tools sent, and I now have one empty shelf.
      The only items I discovered that remain are:
      1 x DC42 mini IR sensor v1.0 @ £10
      1 x DC42 mini IR sensor v1.1 @ £10 (or was it called v2.0 ?)
      First one to go gets a fully wired/crimped cable . P&P included.
      Both should give 3 flashes on power up or full refund given.

      T3P3 Mini Kossell carbon fibre rods with TRAXXAS rod ends assembled by me, so not as perfect as Roland's.
      @ £10 plus £2.90 p&p.

      E3D V6 boot with cartridge thermistor - never used.
      @ £4 inc p&p.

      Just been drooling over the spec of the T3P3 Kossell XL - well an old man can still dream!

    • RE: 70 year old retires - Thanks to DC42/T3P3 +everyone who helped me.

      Very interesting and an unhappy coincidence?.
      My condition is cluster headaches too.
      Had them for over 12 months now..
      My neurologist, the top man in London in this field, also prescribed Oxygen and Sumatriptan.
      Oxygen @ 100% for 20 minutes at 15 litres/min - seems to work.
      No alcohol and no caffeine as these can also be triggers 😞
      Now i am on Zolmitriptan which is Sumatriptan in nasal spray form - when Oxygen does not work
      or out of town. Much easier and a much cheaper than the injections.
      First i had 4 weeks heavy does of steroids
      That was only a temporary fix.
      No I am permanently on Verapamil 40mpg x 3 times per day.
      I have been cluster headache free for over 3 weeks.
      If it returns they will increase the Verapamil dose
      I hope this helps you.

      Oxygen is for another condition, and the Oxygen risk assessment would not allow 3D printing in same space - very dangerous.
      PLA was fine I agree.

    • 70 year old retires - Thanks to DC42/T3P3 +everyone who helped me.

      I built my own mid size of DC42's large Kossel Delta with many metal parts and many other parts from T3P3
      I now have to give up it up as 3D printing is not good for Ashtma sufferers and my Oxygen tanks!
      So my 24V, 0.9 deg, DuetWifi Kossel Delta Midi is for sale at a Bargain price or I will sell it as parts.
      Anyone interested please send me a message and i will photos and price list .
      Thanks

    • RE: Extrusion always starts with nozzle raised 1.45mm above glass bed?

      G31 Z0.672 P500
      I believe I'm already following all the guidelines to setting this value.
      But if, after all the calibrating and levelling, I go back and lower the nozzle until it grips the paper it then shows Z = -1.5/1.6mm instead of 0.1mm?

    • Extrusion always starts with nozzle raised 1.45mm above glass bed?

      For any print, extrusion starts with nozzle raised 1.45mm above glass bed?
      This is not caused by the print g code. I have to correct this every time with baby stepping.
      DuetWifi firmware 1.8.1 with dc42 IR sensor
      Bed levelling -Map looks good, almost all in the green
      Anyone have any ideas what might cause this?

      sample code:

      G1 X0 Y0 Z5 F8000 ; centre nozzle 5mm above bed

    • RE: Mini height sensor Having Problems

      I have a workaround.
      I took 0.8mm off the unthreaded end of the heat break.
      now the IR sensor fires at z=0.35mm, so before the nozzle hits the bed glass

    • RE: Mini height sensor Having Problems

      Duet Wifi v1.0 with 1.81 firmware; T3P3 hot end printed part with brass inserts , version for All Metal effector.
      dc42 IR Sensor , new version with surface IR emitters and detector. 24V psu
      E3D V6 hot end with new heater block for cartridge thermister and silicone sock.
      T3P3 glass bed with black paper.

      Sensor flashes 4 times on power up , and reads 537 when white paper triggers red light.
      Using feeler gauges the height between bottom edge of IR sensor board and the hot end nozzle tip is about 2.4mm
      The problem is that with no white and in a darkened room, after calibrating G92 Z0 to cartridge paper thickness =-
      the Z probe reading stays at 465 and never triggers the sensor fully so nozzle end hits glass bed!
      Does this simply mean the trigger height is less then 2.4mm?
      With this hardware configuration I cannot see any easy way to reduce the distance between ir sensor and nozzle tip.
      Anyone any ideas?
