I'll give it a go First sensormount was having the filament to close but It seems that it will work if I move it out 1mm.

@gaweyo It was a bit easier from a pc than from my phone I have some issues in the Z axis after a crash during config but it still shows great improvement of ringing in the lower print with input shaper enabled. Upper print is without input shaper. Both are done with 1500mms accleration increasing each 5mm up to 7000mm/s accleration and the print speed is 100mm/s.

This is the Z stepper.

Edit; found this info on a makerbot 1, sounds a lot better now. will measure heat after a while

The MCP4018T-502E/LT digipots value is set to 118 for X, Y, A and B which gives Vref 1.75V (810mA max.), and 40 for Z which gives 0.60V (278mA max.).

Edit2; this solved my heat problem just to reply incase anyone else comes across this.

I'm also waiting for the duet wifi 3. No interest what-so-ever in a raspberry pi for this application. KISS is gone out the window it seems. I want to upgrade my printers but until the duet wifi 3 is out there just isn't any point at all.

I got many IR probes lying around and I was wondering if anyone ever tried to use these as filament runout sensor? Is it possible to lower the sensitivity enough to be able to detect filament missing?

you also get that message if you home against limit switches (for example on a delta at the top) without homing with the Z probe. My Z switches on my delta is good enough for me not probing with BLtouch each time so I get that each time I don't do a probe run before loading the height map. It's not a error it's just a warning telling you that the height map is based on the Z datum set with the probe and not the limit switches you home against.
