Merry Christmas to everyone!

I bought the Haydn Huntley delrin and magnets...and I made my own lenght arms...I buy 6mm carbon fiber tube...I made my own caps for the carbon fiber tubes...i print them on petg and then machined on lathe to final shape and dimensions.. using this on my 2 anycubic kossel linear plus...I spent 78$ for parts from Haydn + 24$ shipping fee and another 40$ on customs import fees, and 20$ on carbon fiber rods.. total 162$ ...custom lenght is 115$ each kit + 24$ shipping + custom taxes!. .for having all the rods same lenght I made a jig from a solid piece of aluminium machined on a mill with a shape of a big U where on each side I cut slots for m3 screws and I fix in place 10mm diameter steel balls with m4 holes in that I buy from aliexpress for this purpose...then the rods are glued on one side with epoxy glue and let them set for 48h...then I put them into the jig and glue the other side of the arm,this way I achieved the same size of all 6 arms.. I made 2 sets of these arms...in total 12arms to install on my anycubic kossel linear plus!some photos of the caps and the arms

Assuming you are using 1 extruder, you will need 7 drivers to drive x, y, 4×z and e motors...even if you buy duet 3 you only have 6 drivers onboard...in case you buy duet2 and duetx expansion choose the x5.. the price difference is so low...and maybe in future you want more extruders and you are set with duetx5 instead duetx2

@DoxfordC nozzle need to have a certain temperature for the extruder motor start moving...does you preheat your nozzle when you try to move the extruder?

@GeorgeM on the btt tft you need to match the 57600 baud rate as well...if not wont work!

5 pin Io.n connectors are Molex KK while 4 pin stepper motor connectors are JST VH
For Molex KK i use engineer PA-09 and engineer PA-20 with great result...I have both crimpers thoug lately i only use PA-20 as i dont remeber where PA-09 is...for the JST VH connectors recommendations is the use of engineer PA-21 with the 2.2 side of jaws for the bare wire side and 2.5 for the insulation side of the wire

Awsome...it's time to grab a duet 3 board for my cnc then

Maybe this can help you out:all my printers are with duet2 wifi, and upon building a printer for a friend with the hardware that he already had included a skr 1.3 and tmc2208 deivers, i came across reprap firmware for lpc boards and so i installed that port of reprap firmware to skr 1.3, and all and all was perfect.. my friend also has a btt tft32 that wanted to have it instaled(after i told him that with reprap firmware you dont need an lcd he still decided to have lcd)
So i installed the lcd to the skr1.3 board and in the config.g file i specified raw mode and i was suprise to see it working...i can do all things from lcd as it was under marlin firmware...nevertheless i have as well an mks 32tft lcd and tryed that lcd and again all working just fine...

@chimaeragh did you put it in cnc mode...if not will show the 3d printer interface!

@sindarius yes...it might shown the error because what I think is I'm still on the 3.2 firmware...not 100% sure...I'm at work now...in few hours when I get home I'll have time for testing again!

@hiroaki from what I've tested with rpi3b and the 10" touch lcd wired to the hdmi port seams bit too slow...I much prefer the standalone duet 3 and use the rpi with the touchscreen in kiosk mode where on start open the duet web controll web page...thats way is much faster and controll of the duet 3 didn't have the lag I had when connected in sbc mode!

@phaedrux said in Danal's passing:

Hard to believe it's been a year, both because it feels like it's been much longer than that and at the same like it was just the other day.

Can't believe it's a year. The forum has definitely felt slightly empty without his wisdom

Sure does!

@phaedrux Amen!

@masso ouch!
Probably if changing the 3.3v regulator might be back on track...post a pic of the board!can you identify if something is burned on the board?

@sindarius ok...now I have all working...just did an update from 3.2 to 3.3 rc2 and the dro plugin and touch plugin are starting now..

@sindarius yes...it might shown the error because what I think is I'm still on the 3.2 firmware...not 100% sure...I'm at work now...in few hours when I get home I'll have time for testing again!

@Sindarius I uploaded the touch jog and dro but it seems to get some sort of error when try to start them...I didn't had to much time into it but tomorrow I'll give it a new shot to see what's going on...I might need to do a fresh install of rrf and dwc as well...i will came back with news tomorrow...

@jay_s_uk actually just came across with this.. thank you Jay!

Hi...maybe an odd question, but I've just setup my duet 3 6hc board with raspberry pi for a homemade cnc, this is the first time using sbc along duet hardware and I came across to the issue that I have a warning everytime I log into dwc that the name set with M550 in config.g file is not the same as the sbc("duet3" in this case)
So my question is how can I have the name changed so it reflect the machine I'm using on my network along other duet printers...what file need to be edited?
