Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Yes it does! I just did not assume that building a metal Max from scratch was your first experience with delta's or 3d printers at all :roll: Yeah, I actually had my stock Max V2 (save for a few minor upgrades) for about a year and a half or so before beginning to cannibalize it to build this metal...

I was able to start my first successful company, so there's that. (link for anyone curious http://www.kilovoltcollection.com/) Nice items you make in your company! I think for most people going Duet they do that because they want to have proper auto-calibration and take the necessity of a probe for...

Hey, long time no see! It has been too long! Unfortunately, I had to take a break from the hobby due to some personal matters I needed to deal with, but on the plus side I was able to start my first successful company, so there's that. :D (link for anyone curious http://www.kilovoltcollection.com/ ...

Hello All! Attempting to setup duet 0.8.5 (dc42 firmware) with a metal max I am building, and am running into some issues. I want to first attempt to use it without a z-probe or fsrs (using similar calibration steps to the max v2), but all resources I can find point to using a z-probe or fsrs. would...

Sorry, homework got the better of me and I have not got the time to work on it. I did just realize I bought the wrong relays (I got the DC-AC ones, which won't work). Would something like thisdo the trick to isolate the heated bed from the duet?

That's cool, any particular reason why?

Also more build pics later tonight!

No it does not. Currently, PanelDue is the only panel that works with Duet. There is work being done to support another panel (not sure which) but I wouldn't hold your breath. That sucks, Ill just have to find a use for mine somewhere else. Possibly for temp control of the enclosure when I get arou...

Okay, question. Does the reprap discount GLCD work with the duet? I can't find anything conclusive either way.

Thanks for the pictures and we anticipate many more! These are the cat's meow and I loving reading the new builds from users such as yourself. Thanks! I love doing these builds :D How large will the bed be? The most practical way to heat a large fixed bed is to use an AC mains voltage silicone heat...

what happened to your original Rostock... it's... been gutted and left to rot :( Not to rot, but to be re-incarnated as this new printer! I just haven't finished gettign everything useful out of it (mainly steppers and bearings) If the circuit is designed to support 24V from the outset and the powe...

Update: Everything else is ordered! I ended up not going with the 24v power supply as of this time, but I will be putting an SCR between the duet and HBP as well as the hotend, just for an added layer of protection. This week I will be using my local maker-space's printer to print some items like fe...

I would also go with a 24V supply to the bed in the base, switched via SSR, so that you need very minimal wiring down to the base, namely the power from the main supply up, and the 2 pairs of signal wires down (Bed thermistor and SSR switching). Would one like this work? https://www.amazon.com/SMAK...

Just did a quick non-committal assembly, no thread Locker or anything to get a feel for how it would look and how it fits together. I am blown away by the quality of the frame, Brian you have really outdone yourself. More to follow soon!

Oooh shiny

Suggestions are always welcome! Yes, I have seen his parts and they are very nice, potentially a future upgrade later along the line. I would be more interested in trying to develop something myself, however. Purely for the fun of it. I had thought about a 24v supply, it makes a lot of sense, but it...

I'm looking at using a duet for the controller board, as I have now had two Smoothie boards crap out on me, leading me to doubt their quality. As far as an extruder goes, I'm going to use either my Prometheus V2, or I may buy an E3D V6, I'm not really sure yet. My goal would be to easily swap betwee...

To keep things nice and tidy I started a new thread for the actual build. Mods feel free to delete this one.

new thread:

My frame is in the mail as of yesterday, and I have my workplace all cleared off! This will be fun...

All progress photos, updates, and questions will be in this thread. Can't wait for it to arrive!

This one? IMG_4006.JPG If so, it's mine. What you like to know? If not, sorry, carry on. Well now that you mention it I do have some questions for you about the misumi linear rails. Which size EXACTLY did you get and how did you determine what rail length would be needed? I got the PLRH25-880 rails...

I have started machining the parts! First off, the nozzle. I bought a blank, undrilled nozzle from filastruder. I then machined it to this profile: [img]http://i.imgur.com/2IC1xuJ.jpg[/img] Pics of the final result: [img]http://i.imgur.com/Yg0ydNJ.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/i6dMszX.jpg[/img] ...

Update! got most of the parts, I'm just waiting on the heaters, insulator tape, and bearings now! Pics soon! (Also CAD file is coming along, still not ready to share yet)

You weren't too clear about which diagram you wanted, so I drew both a physical (Showing approximate placement), and an electrical, showing wiring placement. Note that the numbering is consistent. 20160406_202714.jpg Of course, there is no real reason to wire H2 before H3, it might even make more s...

Personally, I would run three heater bands on it, to make it easy. Main heater connected to the PID module on it's own. Two others in series with each other (and parallel to the main heater), with a smaller gap between the middle heater and the main one as compared to the middle and the end heater....

[img]http://i.imgur.com/gLJZkiB.jpg[/img] Xenocrates: What about running 2 heaters off of the same PID control module (see above image. sorry for poor quality, this was drawn in about 30 seconds. I will be putting CAD files up soon)? Is there any reason the one in the middle of the barrel would have...

also feel that a single heater may be insufficient and sub optimal. I would prefer to have them designed so as to have control over the temp at multiple areas along the extruder, even if it raises costs The plastic would be pulverized, and I had thought it would only really need to be heated at the...
