Dual Extrusion issue with Y adapter Cura 3.4.1

I was having an issue where sometimes Cura would insert M104 T1 S0 in the wrong place causing all of the heaters to shut down when finishing the second filament. This code should be at the very end of the gcode. I think Cura gets confused when using two extruders with one nozzle when all of the temp...

Re: Mods.. (The Good, The Bad, The Ugly)

Why wouldn't you use the Capricorn inside the hot end? Are you having to print slower with the Titan because of the weight from the direct drive. Have you seen the Nimble yet. They're out of stock but I want one for my v3. The ir probe is not nearly as accurate as the fsr. Plus they're a pain to use...

Re: Heater issues

I'm having the same issues with my fans. With mine the fans are higher than the heater block. I'm going to rebuild my hot end next week. I might add some spacers to lower the fans and see what else might be going on.

If it's really stuck on there and you're afraid of it breaking then contact support. It may save you $40.

Re: Enable strain gauge Z probe?

You could always download the configuration files and the bed configuration file and compare them. I find my calibration results are identical between the FSR probing on the Artemis and my v3 using the Duet board and accelerometer. About .02 sometimes .015.

Re: Noise from Y axis stepper

Let us know what you find out. I'm getting noise from my y axes as well. It's taken a while for me to track it down but it's in the rail. I have play in my carriage towards the bottom 1/4 of the rail. I may also have some bearing issues as well. The rest of it is fine. Mine's been doing this from th...

Re: Duet 8.5 Groundwire overheating

Thanks, that's a very good explanation. I'm wondering if using 12 awg wire made it worse. I'm very thorough with tightening when installing but didn't think to go back and retighten. Now that I know about ferrules I will certainly use them. I noticed SeeMeCNC doesn't use ferrules on the Artemis and ...

Duet 8.5 Groundwire overheating

What's going on? I'm using 12awg power wires. Everything was tight and striped properly. None of the other wires were even warm, only the main ground wire to the Duet. The heated bed wires were fine. I've been using it over a week with no issues. I was 2 hours into the print when I smelled something...

Re: Hot end goes to the bottom and stops.

Problem fixed. Turns out it's a Matter Control issue. I imported a gcode from a different slicer and it works perfect. It's been a while since I've used Matter Control and the RAMBO board so I probably just have a setting off.

Hot end goes to the bottom and stops.

I'm not sure if this is a HE280 issue or MC. Everything moves and calorbrates perfectly. I even used the calorbration wizard gcode. When I go to print the calorbration cube the HE goes to the bottom at the X tower, moves a bit and stops. After a while a red light starts flashing on the HE. I'm actua...

Re: Duet HE280 Probe i2c interface

Have you considered connecting the Teensy to the 4 pin Z probe connector instead of to the E0 endstop connector? You could use the Mod pin on the Z probe connector to do the reset. Selecting probe type 3 in the M558 command will drive that signal low, then select type 5 before you probe to drive it...

Re: EzStruder Over Heating With Duet

If the extruder motors are rated at 1.5A then I suggest you set the current to about 1.3A to that they run cooler. You can put a command to turn the unused extruder motor off in the tfree#.g tool change file, where # is the tool number. I don't recommend using I0 in the M906 command unless you real...

Re: EzStruder Over Heating With Duet

1. What is the rated current of the stepper motor? Is there a part number label on the motor that would help you to look it up? Try turning the current down to 80% of the rated current. 2. You can use M18 to turn motors off selectively, see http://reprap.org/wiki/Gcodes#M18:_Disable_all_stepper_mot...

Still nothing. I checked the pins and there's no continuity between the pairs. Please explain. Do you mean that you DO get continuity within each pair (between pins 1&2, and between pins 3&4)? Or no continuity anywhere? No continuity. I checked the other pairs as well and there is no contin...
