Ah you got me wrong : D

The other two colors are loaded until the nozzle, so the Bowden tube is not open. I did this mistake once and my ptfe clogged. This will not happen again : D

Ah thanks, good to know!

I'm actually printing with only one color trough the diamond until the parameters are set. I recognized that the other two are already clogged ^^will try to fix that later

Yeah, this is what the first prints look like : )

I'm actually fine tuning the parameters, gets better and better, thanks guys!

I don't really know the problem with the HomeAll.g, it was created automatically with these reprap config thingi.

I copied the homeX Y and Z in the homeAll, know that works.

Later when I'm home again, I'll try
At the moment I'm on an expo in Stuttgart Germany

Yeah, so this is what the first print looks like

I guess I need to check the settings in cura ^^

[SOLVED]

Hey guys, thanks for commenting : )

yes, i'm using the actual 1.18.1 firmware

so the first few lines of my gcode look like the following, but it still shuts down the heaters when i start the print.
Maybe the the order is the problem?

i also included G82 in the Config file and commented out the G90, was this the right action?

edit: the only output im getting on the gcode console is:
18:32:28
M32 1stTrinity.gcode
File 1stTrinity.gcode selected for printing

edit2: when i start the print, the only thing happens is moving the bed 10mm down, and then shut off the heaters. it somehow skips the homing and probing

edit3: so i found a new problem which brings us more to thee root of the evil ^^
when i home the axis individually, everythings fine. when i hit homeall.g, it shuts down the heaters as well, i guess the problem is here. scroll down for the homeall.g : )

edit4: okey guys, i solved the problem
the issue was the HomeAll.G, i corrected it, now it does the probe points and prints as it should, thanks for the support! it's my very first print with the duet, i will post some pictures here : )

Hey folks,

My DIY printer is already finished, today I hooked up the RepRap diamond Hotend and adjusted the bed.

Everything works so far, my only problem is the first print!

I tried the example Gcode EscherLizard, but it ignores the bed compensation. Manually including G28 (Homing) and G29 after G90 creates the issue that the print is "@100%" right after start and shuts down the heaters.

Sliced objects via Cura also don't work, same problems with G28/G29

Is there any special way to slice objects for the duet?

At that time I started the post, i did not have any adjusting possibilities for the bed

Now I installed a 3Point system for Pre-Adjusting the printbed

Actually I'm fighting with the first print, somehow it shuts down the heaters when I start a print, but that's another Story

The problem in this thread is [Solved]

Yeah, for safety I installed the probe higher so it would trigger before the nozzle could crash in the bed and I can react

Now it's calibrated better and I think tomorrow I'll start the first print

Again, thanks guys!

Updating the firmware from 1.15b to 1.18.1 solved the problem!

Here is a video! Thank you guys, love you all

Is there any way to Donate for Duet or the forums? ?

Okey, here is what i tried today.

I made a list of every possible combination and connection and tried every single one.

Best result i get is:

Connected on E0, using
M558 P4 X0 Y0 Z1 H5 I0 F300 T6000
M558 P4 X0 Y0 Z1 H5 I1 F300 T6000

in both Cases the Reading is Reversed, so i get 1000 when its not triggered, and 0 when its triggered

Connected on Probe Connection using
M558 P5 X0 Y0 Z1 H5 I0 F300 T6000
M558 P5 X0 Y0 Z1 H5 I1 F300 T6000

again its in both cases Reading Reversed, getting 1000 when it should be 0 and reverse.

in every other scenario i get constant 1000.

Here is a picture of the Wiring. i cut open the Shrink-tubes to be sure.

The Anode of the BAT43 is Connected in DuetBoard Direction

• is constantly on 24+ directly on the PowerSupply

The Sensor i'm using is described as LJC18A3-8-Z/BX, NPN

Here's a List of every Combination i tried and documented in Notepad.

1000 means, the reading was constantly HIGH
Reverse means, the readings switched when i trigger the Sensor, but Inverted

i also tried to Switch GND and SIG to get rid of the Reverse issue.

Z Endstop Try

Result:
1. Z Endstop Connection Reads ALWAYS 1000, no Matter whats in the Config.h or how its connected.
2. E0 Conection works only with P4, but Reversed
3. Z-Probe Conneciton works with P5, but Reversed

any ideas how to Invert the Reversed readings?

Whenever I get a new suggestion, I try to mix all the past settings, so I tried again everything with P0 to P5, with every combination of inverting the logic or enabling/disabling Z endstops options

It maybe seem like I only change one thing and ask here again, but that's not true, I'm non-stop experimenting with various settings ^^

P4 does not work, it maybe because of some other setting wich is set wrong, but I don't know which line conflicts with another

M574 X1 Y1 Z0 S1 ; Define active high microswitches
M558 P5 X0 Y0 Z1 H5 I1 F300 T6000 ;

(it's an i for invert i guess, seems legit, sorry ^^)

but it's still not working. The LED on the Duet glows when it triggers, but the Z-Probe value is constant 1000 and does not change, the Endstop-status is always triggered in the Machine Properties.

i feel kind of bad using that much of your Times, please be patient guys :x

Thanks for the Support

Ok, She BAT43 diode is connected, The codes are applied

this is the actual config.h:

https://pastebin.com/MAWMXcEA

only thing now is, the Z Triggers reversed, so it shows 1000 on detecting and 0 when its in distance

Changing to L0 is not the solution :x

Ouh, I didn't use any shottky or other diode :x

But I guess I'm pretty lucky, i found BAT43 which I buyed years ago and never needed.

I will solder it in the circuit and switch the connector to E0, and then do your suggested changes, I will give you feedback! Thanks!

It's not Analog, it is connected like a switch

LJC18A3-8-Z/BX, NPN

It switches when it detects something, I can see it in the user interface

@Sniffle

Inverting the Z axis via M574 Z1 S1 is wrong, it triggers when it should and is not triggered when it's not, so Z1 S1 should be right but thanks Anyway

@DC42, thanks for joining to help,!

I tried H5, it seems to do nothing, I also tried H50 to make it more visible, but it still don't change anything

Also it says still "Probe already triggered at start of Probe" although if it's not triggered, I moved the bed down 10mm to show

Video is uploading and should be visible here:
https://youtu.be/gap8o6vxVqU

Thanks for the support guys!

I'm kind of Confused..

If i'm using my Z Capazitive for both as Z endstop and for Z Probing, does that mean that i have "no Probe", so im using P0 in the M558 command?

"P0 indicates that no Z probe is present."

And the Z Paramter = 1 because i'm using the Probe as Endstop fo Z

"The X, Y and Z parameters specify whether each axis uses the Z probe for homing or not."

M558 P0 X0 Y0 Z1 H0 F120 T6000

Result:

• When i use P0, the Bed Crashes into the Hotend by Auto-Bed-Compensation, Homing Z works fine
• When i use P5, The Bed Stops like it should, the X&Y axis Move to the Probe points, but the Z-Axis is not driving up and down between the Points.

also i get this error:

Z probe warning: probe already triggered at start of probing move
Bed equation fits points [15.0, 15.0, 0.000] [15.0, 235.0, 0.000] [235.0, 235.0, 0.000] [235.0, 15.0, 0.000] [125.0, 125.0, 0.000]

Something is still wrong, and i don't get it

Hey there,

I'm actually working on the Last steps of the Software and Cannot solve the following problem:

I want to use a capacitive Sensor for both Homing the Z axis and Z Probing.

HomeZ.g and HomeAll.g are working with no Problems, but when I hit AutoBedCompensation or send G30, the Z endstops get's ignored even though it triggers, and the bed would crash into the nozzle.

I found other forums with similar problems, but couldn't find any Solution,pls help

HomeAll.g
http://de.pastebin.ca/3812988

Config.g
http://de.pastebin.ca/3812989

Bed.g
https://de.pastebin.ca/3812991

i checked everything, the hardware and the wiring was ok.

i guess the way my Z Axis is built and the fact that i used 1/256 steps for Z could be the reason why, im not sure

but the TMC2660 should handle 2,8A, and i'm sure there was no short or high-current drain
