Re: 32 bit controller recommendations

Oh, so not so helpful. Thanks for the info! I'll stick with the removable type boards. Has anyone tried them on a delta? How well did the anti-stall work? Thanks again! My comments on stall detection and deltas are not specific the the Duets. The TMC2130 drivers use exactly the same StallGuard2 fea...

Re: Looking for auto-leveling recommendations for my Metal Max

Another possibility is to swap out your effector and arms for the Smart Effector and magnetic arms (see https://www.duet3d.com/DuetAddons/DeltaSmartEffector) but that's probably overkill if you are happy with the existing arms, effector and hot end.

Re: 32 bit controller recommendations

The Duet WiFi and Duet Ethernet already support stall detection, see https://duet3d.com/wiki/Stall_detection_and_sensorless_homing. However, it is of limited use on a delta printer, because motors don't produce enough back emf at low speeds for stalls to be detected. On delta printers some of the ca...

Re: Big default "baby steps" - Duet

The Z baby stepping feature in Duet is set to .05mm+/- which seems to be a big default baby step for my purposes(a). I would like to have .01 or .02 baby steps. Where can that parameter be tuned? 0. I presume you are doing baby stepping in the web interface. Go to Settings -> User Interface and cha...

Re: No joy with browser connection

You can also run the Duet WiFi in access point mode, without a router. That's about as simple as it gets! Needs firmware 1.20 or later, and of course a smartphone/tablet/laptop/PC with WiFi.

There should be a positive click when the SD card is seated properly, then to get it out you have to push it again.

Re: Duet WiFi with E3V6 dragging on plate

I don't understand why you have commented out the M558 command. If you are using Z probing at all then you must have it to tell the firmware the characteristics of your Z probe. To get the first layer height just right: 1. Most users of delta printers with Duet electronics run auto calibration after...

I forgot, I changed the name in the report. It's this:

That's quite good, so I am surprised you are having connection difficulties. You may find https://duet3d.com/wiki/WiFi_disconnect ... out_errors helpful.

Re: First homing: horrible grinding sounds

Looking around for pressure advance, looks like a duet setting... I'll look into it. I've tried 3.5-12mm retraction, stuck to 6.5 25-60mm/s retraction speed, right now it's at 25 since that's what the profile has. I upped the travel speed from 100 to 400mm/s and that seemed to do the most at reduci...

Re: First homing: horrible grinding sounds

What retraction settings are you using, and how long is the Bowden tube? Are you using pressure advance?

On my delta I print PLA at 205C first layer, 200C or 195C after that; but that is with an E3Dv6 hot end.

Re: How to calibrate extruder? Different settings for every filament?

I leave the extruder steps/mm and the slicer extrusion factor alone.

Then I use that setting for the rest of that roll. It's normally ...

Re: Hot or Cold Auto-Calibration

I can't speak for the Artemis in particular. but for most delta printers: 1. Heating the bed may cause it to warp and/or expand a little. So any sort of bed probing is best done with the bed hot. 2. If the printer uses the nozzle as the probe, you need to make sure that there is no solidified plasti...

Re: Ros tock V3 heated bed not getting hot enough

If you increase the supply voltage then the hot end power will also increase, so you may want to re-run PID tuning. If you turn the voltage above 13.5V then in theory you should put one or two silicon diodes in series with the fans to reduce the fan voltage back to about 12V, however in practice 12V...

Re: The Artemis arrives in NJ

From what you are saying, the X motor works when plugged into the extruder connector, but the extruder motor still doesn't work when plugged into the X motor connector. That points to a problem with the extruder motor, or its wiring, or its mechanical connection with the rest of the extruder.

Re: The Artemis arrives in NJ

Blocked hot end perhaps? Or incorrect temperature calibration, so that the hot end is not as hot as you think it is?

Does the Artemis use a Bowden tube; if so, can you remove it and check that you can drive filament through the extruder drive by itself?

Re: Digipot Math

Why would you want to limit your torque? Reduced torque would cause increased skipping steps. When the nozzle becomes temporarily obstructed - for example due to a blob or curl-up in the print - then it's better for the extruder to skip steps than to grind the filament down. That way, when the obst...
