Just wanted to thank all those that have and continue to help me on my build thought I would share a pic of last nights print.
Still trying to get my head around the intricacies of S3D some good and some bad lol

This be the "Road runner" lol

Finished it last year enjoyed nearly every minute of the build lol

Thanks again everyone for your continued help much appreciated and will hopefully be confident enough to help others.

Morning all,
Wondered if i could pick someones brain please i cannot picture where my home is on my new build.

So as looking down on the printer i have one motor to the top left and the other to the lower left.
The printer homes to the top right corner heading to both low and negative directions.

So I'm trying to figure out is Z positive pointing away from me down that top right leg ?as this doesnt put Y positive anticlockwise to X.

Is it possible to hook up to the duet2 via wifi using simplify 3d software so I can use the live preview tracking feature of the software?

I've only been able to get it to work via USB.

Thanks for the reply I had to ask more out of curiosity

@dc42 said in PID tuning:

Those figures look about right for a V6 with a 40W heater and a silicone sock over the heater block. But a 40W heater is over-powered for that configuration, you should use 25W or 30W. 40W is appropriate when using a copper heater block and no silicone sock, for high temperature operation.

Thank you for the advise and reassurance appreciated as always

Evening Guys,
Wondered if I could get an opinion on the screen grab attached please thought I would do a pid on the E3d V6 40w bit concerned on the readings.

@Stevo .....and answers to my questions?

Hey,
I cannot hear any differences between the motors and neither of them are noisy or hot in any way. I will be printing the lid for the box over the weekend and will rotate this on the bed as you suggest by 45 degrees.

This being a snap shot of the third layer being printed which looks fine the rough area to be seen top right the layer in question as being rough.

The box turned out ok in the end two small supports didn't make it as I had decided to try printing without any supports. but it will serve its purpose momentarily.

Good morning both and thank you for the replies,
So if you were to stand the printer on its side and both of the motors towards the bottom and the print to be done square as per facing the machine infill will be done on a diagonal.
I am printing a tray for the duet the 4 initial perimeter shells went down perfectly followed by the initial infill which is going from bottom left to top right with one of the motors rotation controlling the back and forth motion and the other motor controlling the side stepping to start the next line of infill and this went down perfectly as the initial shells ( smooth to the touch and reflective to view.
With the 2nd layer again outer 4 shells went down perfectly however this infill is now going 90 degrees to the previous layer from bottom right to top left. The motors now having swapped roles with each other doing the side step and the other controlling the back and forth movement.
Visually to look you can see and feel its rough by comparison to the first initial glossy layer !
Once layer 2 completed it again prints perimeter shells for the third layer perfectly followed by equally good infill same as layer one glossy.

Thanks again for your input

Wonder if anyone has encountered this before my core xy prints far superior in one direction than it does in the other when doing infill on layers.
Almost rough in one direction under the control of one stepper but when movement is switched to the other to do the next layer 90degrees to the previous its perfect.
Both belts are of equal tension

Could it be motor or a driver ? any thoughts appreciated

Could I use something like this ? any recommendations on which connections on the duet wifi to make and break the heatbed circuit relay ?

I wondered if I could ask if there was anyway to turn off a Keenovo heat bed by means of an output from the duet ?

So I guess I'm asking is there anyway to turn off a 240v manis socket via an output from the duet.

Thanks

I have changed P1 to P2 for modulated and removed the H3 which is a heater setting remaining from previous BLTouch does it need to stay for the ir sensor?
