I have a Duet 2 Ethernet which was running 2.xx but I have now just upgraded to 3.0, on a custom delta with smart effector and a Mosaic Palette 2.

I want to be able to move the effector outside the limits of the print bed in order to set up an in-place side transition for the Palette 2 - effectively allowing me to purge the transition material generated by the Palette 2 off the side of the printer into a container, rather than needing to print a transition tower between the colour changes.

To do this I expect that I will need a before- and after- purge script configured in Canvas3D to permit the effector to be moved outside of the print bed dimensions, and that I should simply be able to use M564 S0 and M564 S1 in these scripts respectively.

However in testing I cannot jog the print head past the edge of the bed even after I have issued the M564 S0 command, even though according to the documentation I should be able to - I can get to the edge of the bed but further jogs are ignored (or just edge towards Xmin / Y0). This happened on both 2.xx and 3.0 firmwares.

Is there something I've missed to allow movement outside the delta print bed limits? I know that H0 is not permitted on my Delta but maybe S0 is also being blocked in error?

@bearer said in M564 S0 (Disable limit axes/think outside the box) has no effect:

@zylantha said in M564 S0 (Disable limit axes/think outside the box) has no effect:

but maybe S0 is also being blocked in error?

S0 is depricated anyway so shouldn't be used. (It has conflict with laser mode where S sets power level)

I was referring to M564 S0, not G1 S0. There were no publisihed notices with respect to M564 that I had seen?

Did this work in 2.xx or is a new function you're adding after the 3.0 upgrade? Also you may want to post your config file for the wizards to review

It wasn't working in 2.xx that I was on, so I upgraded to 3.0 and still didn't work - behaviour was identical between the versions.

Here is my config
