Yup... Strong magnets will do that. Wait till you troubleshoot a BL touch and it turns out the problems were due to magnets affecting the sensor. That was a painful lesson for me. Unfortunately, I can't just flip the rods. All my magnets are orientated same direction when I put the rods together to make sure they were all consistent.

@dc42 Yeah I have silicon on it, I think something shook loose or something I'm taking it apart. I have always been a little weary that I used cat6e cables for the hotend because I combined 2 for each heater lead and even though it's copper strand it just didn't seem to fit right so I may remake that whole connector.

What gauge is ideal for the 6 pin connector on the smart effector? I bought a lot of silicon wiring I think I'll use for the connector.

Edit: Specify smart effector

I thnk the issue you are having is probably this one https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Network_disconnections_after_uploading_large_files. If you are already using 64kb cluster size, or if reformatting to 64kb doesn't help, try the 2.0beta2 firmware release.

After I rebooted I deleted the partial upload and tried again and it worked, will keep those in mind in the future though.

The M109 command will prevent execution of the following commands until the hot end temperature has been reached. As a side effect, if no tool is selected then M109 will select the tool whose number is given in the T parameter, or the lowest-numbered tool if there is no T parameter.

Currently there is no such mechanism available. In the future I intend to implement condition codes and conditional GCode to make this and lots more possible.

What bed heater is that?

Custom made by Keenovo. 590mm dia (glass is 604), 1400W on 120V (US standard), with built in 150C thermal protector. $240 USD, shipped.

Took some extra time because I ordered it JUST before China holiday.

The glass is a tabletop advertised as 24" by 3/8" (604mm by 9.5mm, roughly) on Amazon in the US. About $40 us shipped. I've been happy with it, although I'd note it is not very round. This makes no practical difference, so far, just a little bit of tweaking any time you remove it and replace it in the clips. It is reasonably flat, reflections of distant items on the surface show no noticeable distortion.

So the total bed was about $280 US. Considering I had ideas in my head ranging from cast aluminum plate to who knows what, that were going to be a lot more money, I'm very happy to report that the simple heater stuck to the glass (the heater came with a sticky layer) works GREAT!! Very happy with it. And, if I every damage the glass, it is the cheapest part.

If it triggers too early or immediately (doesn't move), increase the stall detection threshold. That's the S parameter in the M915 command.

@danal Very cool! was looking for something like that. I would comment to add text box entry as well as I had a very hard time getting exact numbers without using the url, but very cool.

Yeah, I have considered that. Also, once a give slider has the focus (mouse click), you can use the arrow keys for "one digit" increments.

Good deal, I'll put the IR sensor on the Cartesian I'm upgrading then that has a solid bed, works out well.
