      It seems to still be working so I'm going to call it fixed.

    • RE: Updating to a new 3D printer

      It looks like I can just go directly to the current release. I’m now running the current version and the basic machine functionality seems to be there. My PanelDue no longer works so I suspect I need to do some updates on it as well. Fortunately, it communicates with my iPad well so I’m able to keep going with this printer build.

      Now i need to figure out how to ge Bossa working on my iMac Studio.

    • RE: Printing problems with large parts

      @deckingman said in Printing problems with large parts:

      @mperdue. Try moving all the cables while it's printing a small part to see if you can induce the error.

      Heck with that, I just replaced the whole harness. It was working last night so I'll give it a good checkout today.

      Thanks for the help, everyone.

    • RE: Is the panelduet needed

      No, it's not needed. In my case the printers are not near my computer so the PanelDue is very handy. I would not want to work in my setup without the PanelDue.

    • RE: Updating to a new 3D printer

      @Phaedrux Yeah, that's what I did. I was in pretty good shape with most of the files. Now it's time to add the tools and the macros to support tool changing. It's all going smoother than I expected.

    • RE: Editing macros with iPad

      I’m pretty certain it’s an iPad/safari issue which is why I asked about adding a button. It would give an alternate way of doing it without a lot of overhead. For consistency it might be good to add it on the /sys page as well. Then a person could check the box next to the file name and click edit.

      I do find it interesting that the one page defaults to executing the file while the other defaults to editing the file. That might give. A clue to what is going on.

    • RE: Detect overheated driver

      @t3p3tony

      I agree that a lot more investigation is required. I have gotten some spurious errors and other unexplained wonkiness. I should receive a new Duet WiFi and Duex5 today so I'll first try to isolate which board it causing the problems and then try to narrow it down from there.

      Unfortunately, this thread seems to have been hijacked so I'll start a new one if/when I figure anything out.

    • RE: Editing macros with iPad

      @t3p3tony i can use Chrome if I have to. Currently I just walk upstairs and do it on my iMac. The exercise isn’t going to kill me. 🙂

    • RE: Adding additional stepper drivers.

      Thanks for the replies. I’ll take a look at the available expansion boards and give it a shot.

    • Adding additional stepper drivers.

      I'm currently running a printer with a tool changer using a Duet 2 WiFi and Duex5. This allows me to have 4 tools but I sometimes it would be nice to have one or two more. Yes, I know that will be true regardless of how many tools I have, but please humor me. 🙂

      It's my understanding that I can add two more drivers to the Duet using a header connector. I assume that this is best done with a small PCB plugged into that header. So, my question is, is there a PCB available for doing this or will I need to roll my own?

      My first tool change test worked! Now I need to get the tool connected to the Duet so I can test printing.

    • RE: Updating to a new 3D printer

      @Phaedrux Thanks for posting that. I was pulling what little hair I have left out while trying to figure out why my freshly upgraded devices wouldn't talk to each other. The M575 fixed me up. Now I need to go through the Gcode files and make sure I have RRF3 compatible files installed for everything.

      @HebigT Thanks. Once I get to 3.0 do I need to step thru all the upgrades or can I go directly to the latest version?

    • Updating to a new 3D printer

      I'm reusing a Duet Wifi that was previously used in an older 3D printer. It will be placed in a new Jubilee printer that I have built. I figure now is as good of a time as any to move to RRF3 since I have the standard config files and stuff needed for the Jubilee build. What is the best way to move to RRF3 in this situation. Is it best to clear the firmware and reload it from scratch or should I step through the updates.

      Any suggestions appreciated.

    • RE: Bambu Lab Printer (for discussion, not promotion)

      @pjl It certainly looks like they have invested a lot of time and money into this machine. The number of demo units that have been placed in reviewers' hands bodes well for them already having the ability to make and sell the device.
