Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Went ahead and designed a FSR specific version of the heated bed bracket. This uses 4-40 nuts and the stock 3/4" 4-40 screws. It's based on mhackney's design with a revised plunger design for the nut and stock screw. As designed, it keeps the insulator very close to the frame rail when installe...

Looks good, you could integrate the FSR mount pocket right into these. I'll probably go that route when I get to that point. I've now figured out how to route the belt to clear my linear slides. I need to machine 6 "L" shaped replacements for the top bearing mounts. A smaller version of i...

I've also been working on an Enclosure for the Duet and 7" LCD panel AND, brackets for enclosing the build area without reduction of print area. The heated enclosure is based around the same concept I think most people have gone to on the Rostock Max v2 kit. I'm leaving room for heat set thread...

I'm been picking at a few improvements. I've added a new heated bed insulator bracket (version 3) to the Git Repo. This version allows use of an unmodified snow flake and moves the mounting to the corners of the frame. It will accept a 4-40 nut underneath so the original screws may be used. I pushed...

Interesting you has such trouble with the tape. I suppose I'm lucky, as I can't break my build surface (3/16 AL plate FTW). But I've not had problems so long as I used windex (soak the surfaces, then squeeze it out, don't try using only a little), and allowed it to dry between sides. (I tried once ...

I also see that Matterhackers stocks 12" round BuildTak now. And they're only 30 minutes south of me. https://www.matterhackers.com/store/printer-accessories/buildtak-3d-printer-build-surface-12-diameter [img]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/qMUNcubBybKCBUwVXmSLqKDkRP5LINn5jUvph7pFEMn0gdCLkW_...

I'm about ready to install my third Prometheus on my third printer. No issues whatsoever with PLA and ABS and PETG print well. Eric, the developer of the Prometheus is super helpful. He is young and I would agree inexperience krept into a couple of his initial posts, but he had the backbone to stick...

I've cheated by letting it skin over for a couple of hours and then setting the hot end heat to about 80C for about 6 hours. I've applied kapton tape to the exterior for extra insulation and protection against the thermistor popping out and causing a melt down. I've not had any issue with this appro...

I just had a 9 hour print job freeze 6 hours in when printing over usb using the Raspberry Pi2.

Put the same file on the SD card and it completed without issue.

On a related note.... a new version of the Duet is in the works and it sounds like mid year availability.

tnx.

0.100... working on a CAD model right now, so did some measurements myself.

Link is for a calibration object and guilde. This is the process I use to bring the printer into alignment without adjusting firmware.

Keep your Orion and build a larger printer.

Having a spare printer on hand to print repairs for the "other" printer is always a bonus. It can also serve as a platform for experimentation and not put a stable configuration as risk should you want to.

Both the Duet and PanelDue are now in stock, ready to ship. http://www.filastruder.com/products/duet-controller-v0-8-5" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.filastruder.com/products/paneldue" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Would it be possible ...

I've updated the limit switch bracket with a new version that uses less material and frees up some space on the top rail. The switch sits a bit lower to clear the assembly screws, but it still allows enough room for end stop adjustments. It's available in the Git repo in my signature. Limit Switch B...

XT30 connectors are now available instead of the XT60. The size is a bit more suitable and still good for 30 amps and helps reduce the bulk around the platform.

Plastic Emerges Inside?... Sorry, you can take away my joke card now.

Thanks Carl. ccavanaugh, although I do have Smoothie on 1 machine just to stay current with new developments, if one is starting with a clean slate and wants the best hardware/firmware available for delta printers TODAY (it could change tomorrow!) then Duet is a hands down winner. Note I did not sa...

Thanks!... It appears as if support for the Duet is quickly outpacing the Smoothie and it looks like it will displace most of the need to run OctoPrint.

... next build, no smoothie for me!

I suspect the missing features are for price point.
It would be nice if they would release a more full featured model instead of just the mini.

The printer will still home correctly if your steps/mm and microsteps are incorrect, but as you've mentioned is goes bad from there. The MICROSTEP_MODES is the number of fractional/partial steps per physical step the motor makes. The older Ramo's were capped at 1/8 stepping (#define MICROSTEP_MODES ...

The old 1.1 had 1/8 stepping while the 1.3 has 1/16 stepping. As far as I've been able to tell the firmware setting for microstepping would never override the hardware, but just keep the math and timings in check. // Microstep setting (Only functional when stepper driver microstep pins are connected...

Seems to be a tad bit more consistant. stil likes to drop to about 83 when its set for 90, but quickly brings itself back up.The Heated bed PID minumum is set to 80 i believe, should this be higher as well? I would leave the min alone. It will prevent you running at lower temperatures should you ne...

Measure the voltage at the heat bed when it's first turned on. It could be a weak power supply. It's about the easiest failure mode to check before you start swapping parts. i dont have anything on hand to test it with, but i can get something tomorrow probably. Any chance it could also be a PID is...
