      @snowcrash said in Laser Filament Monitor 'SW' PCB Pads - Unsolved:

      Ok, so... was my original understanding correct? that is, the voltage reading between the 2 pads (High/Low) serves as an indicator for filament present/not-present?

      Our intention is that if you want to add a filament presence switch, you add a switch that shorts those 2 pads together when filament is present.

      To make it easier for us (or anyone else) to prototype new functionality.

      In what why exactly? could you please give an example?

      No, because we haven't used them yet.

      Ok, thanks

      Hi,

      Well my understanding is that you want to be able to achieve common layer heights (multiples of 0.05) with a integer number of stepper steps.

      When you do the math with a 8mm lead you get (400 x 16) / 8 which yields 800.000 for 1mm of travel as opposed to the 533.333 steps with a 12mm lead.

      So with the 8mm lead 0.05mm layers need 40 steps. A 4mm lead would need 80 steps.

      If it were my printer I would go ahead and change out the hardware to use an 4mm or 8mm lead.

      @kraegar the ‘slop’ in the z-axis/vertical artifacts is/are now the biggest ‘issue’ that I have in my RailCore after having spent a lot of time massaging all the other bits (of course I still have artifacts from the belt teeth, but best I can tell a big design change would be needed to fix this & unfortunately 2GT belts have the same pattern as any other GT series like GT3. As per distributor & personal inspection).

      Now I will admit that one of the z-axis motors could be aligned a little bit better with the corresponding leadscrew/rail/extrusion, but after having done a bit of research a while back on flex couplings & seeing how expensive they can be I figured I’d see what I can come up with.

      So I did some searching and shopping and today I received 3 Gerwah DKN 15 bellows flexcouplings. These are very quality German couplings that are clamp style (rather than using set screws which are tricky to center), have aluminum hubs with a stainless steel bellows that I believe is of the edge welded variety, & supposed to have effectively no backlash while also being one of the most misalignment forgiving styles. Downside is bellows can’t take much torque, but size 15 seems to be able to handle considerably more than what I need I believe.
      They are quite lightly used, some minor superficial scuffing on the finish, but other than that in great condition - and I paid under $60 total for them on eBay!
      Definitely not nothing & more than the 10/12 dollars for the Misumis (but with tax & shipping the difference is prolly almost negligible), but these guys generally have a 3 figure price tag. Per coupling.

      There were a bunch of other options on eBay too so I figured I’d throw this out there as an alternative option for sourcing flex couplings

      Thanks for the suggestion, @dc42.

      I considered setting the limit higher, however the Lite6 has a PTFE tube inside and E3D warns that the HotEnd shouldn't go above 240 deg or that tube can get damaged so I kept the limit to that.

      @snowcrash said in FSR Controller Module for Auto Bed Leveling:

      So, assuming I have version 2.01 of the firmware, I can use: M42 P60 S0/S1 to control pin CS5, and M42 P65 S0/S1 to control pin z_mod_probe? Is this correct?

      Yes, but you will have to wait for 2.01beta3 to use M42 P65.

      Thank you very much, @Phaedrux & @deckingman!

      Definitely something I'd like to try out, but it's a lot to chew on (at least at a glance), so I'll add it to my TODO list and report back once I've had a chance to study it carefully and test it out 🙂

      I meant I've written a few posts here on adjusting rod length, not delta radius.

      M500 doesn't give an acknowledgement it should return "Settings Saved to config_override.g", maybe a quick fix for DC in next release?

      I suspect your probe may have a 0.75mm offset, Piezo works at around 0.1mm but still a slight offset. Determine the probe offset by experimentation, by doing G30 at bed centre, then raise the nozzle 5mm. Jog down manually in small increments until you actually have nozzle to bed contact. Now read the indicated Z height.

      The real offset is the difference between 5 and the amount you jogged.

      So if you got down to 4.25mm then the nozzle touches the bed then the offset is -0.75mm.

      Use this measured z offset for your probe offset in G31. Its positive if the probe triggers above the bed (IR/inductive), and negative if the probe triggers below the bed (nozzle contact).

      Then calibrate and manually check height, If you are still getting the height discrepancy (you shouldn't be), then put
      G30
      G1 Z10
      in your start gcode so that you "zero" Z height before each print. However, this still relies on the z offset for your probe being correct, and consistent. This is why Piezo and Smart Effector are so well received they are very accurate 10 microns or so, and very consistent varying no more than 5 microns (in a stiff, well built machine).

      Edit, also see Adding trigger height corrections to the bed.g file on this page https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Calibrating_a_delta_printer

      Yes, but the values in them are not the ones you obtained from auto calibration. You said:

      I've run auto calibration and it seems to have worked fine (all points were triggered and I got the following messages for M665 and M666:
      1:05:59 PMG32
      Calibrated 6 factors using 16 points, deviation before 9.854 after 0.099
      1:06:07 PMM665
      Diagonal 350.000, delta radius 166.907, homed height 325.688, bed radius 140.0, X -0.183°, Y -0.217°, Z 0.000°
      1:06:23 PMM666
      Endstop adjustments X-0.79 Y2.25 Z-1.45, tilt X0.00% Y0.00%
      I've entered these values into M665 & M666 in config.g, reset, and watched the hotend crash once more into the bed... (I get the feeling I'm not setting the z-height properly, but don't have a clue how to do that).

      @roland said in Current Sense Resistors on the Duet:

      At the moment we are using RL1632S-R051-F but with current shortages of passives you may need to search for others with the same specification - 0R051 1206 1% >=500mW.

      Thank you very much, @Roland!

      Yeah, the shortages are becoming a real pain, but I was lucky enough to find a slightly more powerful alternative in the form of ERJ8BWFR051V so I'm good 🙂

      @snowcrash said in External 5Vdc Voltage Input Reporting Bug in DWC?:

      That just leaves my 2 questions above which are easy to miss so I thought I'd repeat them here:

      Do you think I have a voltage leakage somewhere? Is it something I should be concerned about (short- or long-term)?

      No I don't think you need worry about that. I just tested a board on my bench with USB power only and I get similar results: 1.7V across the VIN terminals on my multimeter, and DWC also shows 1.7V. My guess is that the TMC2660 drivers leak a small amount of current between their +3.3V and VIN pins.

      Very happy to hear! Thank you very much for taking the time to test this on your machine, @dc42, very much appreciated!
