Re: Odd behavior on "reprints"

The usual reason for this is that no tool is selected. Look in the Gcode Console tab of the web interface for error messages to confirm this. You may have a T0 command at the end of config.g, which is OK for the first attempt, however the default action when cancelling a print is to deselect the ...

I should add that the hardware design is now frozen. We did take user requests from a couple of other 3D printing forums during the design process, but not from this one because I only joined it recently.

Next generation Duet

Some of you may already be aware that a new Duet is in the works. This is a joint design between Escher3D (basically me) and Think3DPrint3D.

Re: PT100 reading 2000°

Thanks, the "Hardware error" is the message I was looking for. When that error occurs, the firmware currently doesn't allow any retries before raising an error. I'll change that.

Re: Duet and Multi-Color/Multi-Filament Extrusion

A couple of suggestions: 1 You can do retractions and reprimes in the tool change files if you want, as long as you allow for getting a reprime at the start of the print. 2. To prevent oozing, make sure that the nozzle standby temperature is low enough. For PLA printing I use 150C standby ...

Re: PT100 reading 2000°

I have taken a look at this. For some error types, the firmware allows several attempts to get correct readings, but for others it flags a temperature fault immediately. When a temperature fault occurs, there should be a message written to the GCode console in the web interface and/or the USB port ...

Re: Auto Calibration Standard Deviation

Mine is currently 0.035mm using 13-point calibration over an area a little smaller than 300mm diameter. I am still getting a slight tilt of the effector when it moves near the Z tower, so I think I still have a small geometrical error.

Re: Stopping initial retract?

We recommend using relative extrusion with RRF, because it avoids rounding errors, avoids issues with resetting the extruder position to zero, and is IMO more logical. However, absolute extrusion should work too, provided that any prime or retract commands you have in tool change files, pause.g ...

For a few days I've been printing at 205°, and did not get the problem, got through multiple long prints with itout it stopping, today I went back to 250°, the same temp I was getting the problem at before, And it happened about 30 minutes into the print.

Re: Weird offset error...

It could be that you have your acceleration set too high and it is trying to do a fast travel move that needs more torque than the motor is providing. What do you have the acceleration set to (M201 command in config.g), and what is the specification of your stepper motors? If you have the Duet ...

Re: Panel Due Fuzzy?

The version 1.1 board can drive the 7" display as is, it's the version 1.0 board that needed a jumper wire added to the back of the board. Make sure you have the voltage jumper in the 3.3V position. The cable supplied by T3P3 is intended for the 4.3" display that they supply, but It's probably OK ...

Re: Panel Due Fuzzy?

It could be a power issue. If you have a multimeter, check that you are getting 5V between the 5V and ground input pins of the 4-pin connector on the PanelDue control board - that's the two pins closest to the mounting hole. Don't try to run a Duet+7" PanelDue from USB power to the Duet alone - the ...

Re: Duet + E3D Volcano = WTF?

Although the nominal B value for the thermistor supplied by E3D is 4267, if you look at the datasheet then for temperatures around 220C a more accurate value is 4388. It makes around 7C difference AFAIR. It's quite difficult to get good thermal contact between a thermocouple and the heater block, so ...

A few suggestions: 1. Your photos show 5 or perhaps 6 wires going into the terminal block of the RTD board. How do you have them connected? 2. If you choose a different RTD channel (say X201 instead of X200) and send the M305 command from the console to select it, do you get an error message? If I ...

Re: PT100 reading 2000°

When you issue the M305 command with X200 in it to enable the RTD channel, is an error message displayed, in the gcode console tab of the web interface, or in your USB host program?
