my LGX lite direct drive mount for smart effector for my 3 kossel printers

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

@jtimon as I know the only boards that uses CAN-FD compatible with duet boards are skr 3, skr 3 ez and fly super 8, I might be wrong but Jay know for sure!

@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?

@PCR yes...of course...I uploaded them to my thingiverse, just click on the signature and you go directly to my thingiverse page!

@gbartsch M104 S0

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

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

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...

@edsped you only need to use the 2 pins without * markings...those that are market with * are passed directly from IN and OUT CAN ports!

@edsped 2 fires is for data and other 2 wires is for power!

@samlogan87 I'm using my esun ebox lite to maintaining my filament dry while I'm printing!

@tecno your orbiter mounting is not good...I already told you on the other thread you asked...the orbiter mounting can't be in contact with the strain gauge of the smart effector because will not work properly, it only need to be connected with the 3 point mount holes and not the entire surface!

@tecno said in Software bundle 3.5.0-beta.3 now available:

@dc42

It is 3.0
Not same sensitivity on print area that is approx 450mm in diameter = No reliable mesh.

Also I suspect the mounting of the extruder /adapter may cause issues as well.

i remember when i designed the mount for lgx lite for my smart effector the first 3 iterrations of the mount was just like that and never had a good probe because the mount interfere with the strain gauge of the effector...and then i decided to raise it a bit and that sorted out...this is how it looks righ now

i added some spacers to the mount to raise it from the smart effector then i integrate them on the final deign

@IndeX4D magnum + will came in handy if you still have!thank you!

@dc42 tell us more please!

@MaukaEast what mount do you use? Can you show a photo? The mount you have is made by you or is what precision piezo send with the orion?

@MaukaEast the precision piezo orion v2 I have has a small potentiometer on it to adjust the sensitivity...have you tried adjusting it..
Adjust it and tap on the nozzle and see the impact it does...

@MaukaEast change the R value from 0.3 to 0.5...
