@moth4017 thanks guys for your help,

So in fact, macros are just normal config commands, but are temporary

Hello,

I recently added a Biqu filament sensor that I have in stock since they sent it to me to beta test
It's a pulsing sensor, so can detect filament runout and clog or tangle
It work with M591 D0 P7 C"121.io1.in" L7 R80:120 E15 S1

It works perfectly, but sometimes it give fake error with soft TPU, because the TPU extend

I know I can change the R value to bigger spacing value.

But I really want to find a way to make one Enable and one Disable Macro for enable or disable sensor while printing
And if possible with some visual tip in the menu like a green dot or something to show if it's enabled or disabled .

Someone more familiar with macros can help me with this please ?

PS : also, is it possible to make a different Pause routine for filament runout than a normal Pause ?
Because it can be useful tu Up the Z height automaticly when in runout

Thanks a lot

Hello,

I recently modified the heated bed of my 1000x1000x1100 printer.
Indeed, I went from a single 2000W heater, whose temperature is managed by a basic external thermostat, to 4 silicone plates of 500x500 each with its individual control.
(Finally the two at the back are coupled together)

They are each controlled by an individual SSR by the Out1 Out2 Out3 ports.

I managed to configure them perfectly, but I found no way to add the Q parameter to the M950 in the configurator.
I have to remember to add them manually after each upload of the config.
Indeed, I have to use Q5 to avoid overloading the SSRs

Is it possible to add a frequency box on the Config Tool?

Many thanks

@qlqlo I really dont understand why you want to spend lot money on duet to put in a klipper printer ??

and just for fun, here is a normal benchy printed on it

(for now I use 0.8mm nozzle, but sucessfully tested a custom made 1.6mm nozzle

Here is the Beast it's one of my DIY projects, I had designed it with a biqu board + DM542 drivers for all nema23 motors.
It was noisy and not great .. So I decided to put a Duet 6HC + 1LC in SBC and hopp no ​​more need for any driver, the 6HC manages all the motors by itself (1X + 1Y + 4Z)
In addition I had fun adding instead of the single heating mantle of 2000W controlled by a useless external thermometer, 4 silicone plates of 500x500mm and 800W each, and thanks to the 6HC I can control them one by one, like that no need to heat everything and eat 2000W for nothing.
All 4 heating element work in 220V, controlled by one 24DC 220AC SSR each

What do you think

Hello all,

I sucessfully setup my Duet 6HC with 1LC with my giant cartesian printer (900x900x900mm)

For homing and bed mesh I use a BLTouch,
everything work like a charm after some optimisation and prints

If I home X or Y manually with homing button on SBC web control, it's perfect : Z rize some mm, home X or Y or both and go back to the previous Z height

But last day and today i made an error in the print, and Pause and after Cancelled it, After this I removed the print and hit X home button,
Z rize like normally, X go home, and at the moment when the X homing finished, Z go down without never stopping, no stop at 0, no BTtouch deploy, nothing, it crash into the bed and nearly broke my completly new setup ...

I made this 2 times, and after I tried on purpose, with a print cancel, and X or Y home, and it reproduce this 100% of time, even after a hard reboot . and with multiple different gcode in case of..

What file can I give to you to find from where this problem comes N because it's really dangerous for the printer

Also I have one other question : If I fail a print on the first layer, and for some reason I hit emergency stop or unplug, when the printer restart, BLTouch directly try to self test, but the probe hit the bed (normal it's too low to self test) the only way I found to go out of this situation is to make a M564 H0 to disable security and after this up Z and restart the printer to remove the BLtouch error signal.
Is there a way with gcode or a config file to make the Z directly go up 5/10mm when you plug in the printer and AFTER this make a BLTouch initialisation ?

Thanks a lot

Hello,
I setup a new 1000x1000x1000mm printer,
I Use a 6HC + 1LC boards,
ConfigTool Version 3.5.0-rc.2
I setup all perfectly with the Config Tool, but no mater what I try, there was always a BL Touch Z prob notfound error no matter how I try th set the probe ... I even brought a new one ....
No change ....

I tried averything and it become to drive me creazy ...
I even tried to create a new config zip wth one other browser in case of .... same...
After this, I tried to open the config.zip and see inside ...

After a long search I found the stupid error .... in config.g:

No matter the browser, empty cache of other when I create the zip it give this in Probes :

; Probes
M558 K0 P9 C"""121.io0.in""" H5 F120 T6000 ; configure BLTouch probe via slot #0
G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z0.7 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M950 S0 C121.io0.out ; create servo #0 for BLtouch

As you can see C"""121.io0.in""" it's normal than the board does not understand ...
And after M950 S0 C121.io0.out without quotes

I cerrected manually the file to give ;

; Probes
M558 K0 P9 C"121.io0.in" H5 F120 T6000 ; configure BLTouch probe via slot #0
G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z0.7 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M950 S0 "C121.io0.out" ; create servo #0 for BLtouch

After three days to have insulted all the names the Bltouch, the duet etc .... it works ...

So now, if I hchange something with the ConfigTool I always need to edit this lines again...

Can you fix this please ?

Thanks a lot

@droftarts Wow.....
I contacted 4 different EU resellers ... no one single answered in 7 days ....

Can you say me how can I buy this things .... and i am also interrested to be a French reseller, because there are no active one in France

Thanks

@droftarts I don't know remember names too it was a cool guy with Glasses

I represented Revopoint 3D Scanners in Europe, and was on the Revopoint booth all the week, I come to Duet on friday.

But all of you looks profesionnal

(And I nearly brought your rotating mini 3D printers, whith the non flat printing round buildplate )

I Think I will choose the first suggestion with an additionnal Accelerometer, and it's because I don't really have the choice, The Y Nema23 motor has a dual shaft, one on each side of the motor to moove both Y betls on same time, so I can't make it close loop with the magnetic encoders

Now I just have to fing a good reseller who sell all o this componnents at same time Because I see some, but not all sell all parts

If I have any trouble, I will come back.

For now, big thanks for your help (because as I jsut see, Duet is good, but duet let you many different way to do the same thing, so a little bit confusing

@DiegoSuarez 2000°C ?

Wow congratulations, you are able to print Aluminium, iron, steel and even Titanium XD

Sorry, I don't resisted to do this joke

Hello,

I'm Zoltan from Zoltan3D in France, I own a 3d printing and design company and own 28 printers.
2 of those printers are totally selfmade and have a 1000x1000x1100 build volume.

For now, they work with a chituboard F motherboard, and it's a piece of shi******** ...
Your salesman totally convinced me to upgrade to Duet at Formnext

Can you help me draw up a list of equipment to buy)

Here is what my two large DIY printers contain:
Chituboard F with touchscreen
A fixed buildplate
4 Nema32 4A for Z axis, with DM542 drivers (if I understood correctly, the Duet can control the nema23 directly in the DM542 controllers)
1 Nema23 3.5A for Y axis
1 Nema23 3.5A for X axis
1 Nema17 for E
2 mecanical homing switch, 1 for X and 1 for Y
1 magnetic homing for Z
2 cooling fans
1 head cooling fan
a standard volcano head with normal printer thermistance and heatblock
1 self made mecanical switch based bed leveling
all in 24V
And a 1500W heatbed controlled externally with a simple electronic thermostat directly plugged in the 220V (why no wire them on the board with a relay or something)
So in fact i want the right board, extensions if needed, what is better for the 4 Z axis ? couple them 2 by 2 and after in the duet or plug all 4 on the duet ?
I want also Wifi, and of course a good touchscreen.
Duet have some accelerometer like in Klipper to reduce resonance ? espacially in this printers with heavy moving parts.

I am sure those printers will work Wayyyyy better with Duet (I don't even remember why I used Chituboard F ....)

Thanks for your answers
