Re: Duet AutoBed Compensation issue

My apologies, Autobed leveling found in the Duet Wifi interface. I came across that guide late last night and planned to go through it soon, I was just wondering if anyone had a quick fix/file. I was also thinking of going back to stock motors just in case it gets too overwhelming trying to set thes...

Duet AutoBed Compensation issue

I just upgraded to Duet Wifi+Teensy LC and trying to do the Auto Bed Compensation but the nozzle is probing in the air about halfway down the full length. Can someone point me in the right direction of how to set these parameters properly/have a file I can download? I believe it has something to do ...

Re: Barrel fan blocker

Basically it increases efficiency of airflow and redirects it to the heatsink. Same principle in air diversion panels in cars. Without the plate shown (with Greddy Logo), hot air can recirculate from engine bay back into the radiator fans by going above it and add heat to the engine. With the plate,...

Re: So many strings

Not necessarily. What setting do you have for infill overlap? I think mine is .06. Having too little will make a gap and the bond will never touch, having too much will slightly block the nozzle and you'll have an irregular layer or oozing mess. Is the room you are printing in hot by chance?? I reme...

Re: So many strings

That's good news, one problem fixed. Different Brands have different temp profiles, I use Hatchbox for PLA (190-195 temps) and E-sun for PETG (210-220). Do you have access to a IR Temp meter of some sort? It may help to check if your hotend (not the nozzle but the heatbreak section) is the temp adve...

Re: Interested in possibly switching to a Rostock V3 -- can you answer some questions and provide some examples of print

I am a complete noob since December but I learn fast. The V3 is my first real 3d Printer (last year I bought a Micro3D and it's been collecting dust) Print quality wise I think it looks great but compared to some of the vets here it can be MUCH better. For about a month I have been a bit back and fo...

Re: So many strings

As far as the min temp calculation, 1mm = 60 so gcode you would send G0 E100 Fxx (multiples of 60, so 60=1mm/s, 120=2mm/s, 180=3mm/s) I saw at 195 my max was 120mm/s (gcode was G0 E100 F300) which is about what you should see since F300=5mm/s and using that in the calculations was 120mm/s speeds. I ...

Re: So many strings

I had it running 100% after a few layers but not enough to cause issues as you describe. The temp should stabilize after a few seconds with fans full on. This includes stock fan mounts as well as http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1792867. Try this while you are still assembled... Heat the hotend to 2...

Re: So many strings

To me that sounds like your nozzle has blockage, regular pla (unless contaminated) should flow very easily at those temps. Heat the nozzle to 110-140 and at the same time during warming up, pull the filament out from the hotend and it should release as soon as possible (mine does it around 110). If ...

Re: So many strings

(I'm on stock Rostock hardware) Most times it is temperature related, too high temp just oozes and cannot control flow. Then there's the extruder needing calibration and verifying 100mm extrusion = 100mm filament past the Bowden tube. Then settings using Z-lift, retraction length and speed, wipe, et...

Wantai .9 Degree Stepper wiring

Anyone know which color wires on the .9 Stepper motors go to which on the Duet? I can't find documentation again. I made the adapter cables based on http://sublimelayers.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2016-01-01T00:00:00-05:00&updated-max=2017-01-01T00:00:00-05:00&max-results=24 but the mot...

Thanks for those options Xeno, I am wanting to be more consistent by using the heat spread, enclosure, and arms/platform upgrade when I change out the hotend as well.

Re: Which upgrades to buy

My recommendation, and take it for what it's worth: Ditch the AstroSyns, they are not needed with the Duet WiFi and actually introduce enough wobble to affect part quality (slightly). E3D V6 Universal version WITHOUT the Bowden option - it's not needed. 12 V version Also realize, I gave up on getti...

Re: Extruder Feed Controlls in MatterController

It's good that you are knocking it out procedurally, too many variables to make everything go bad quickly. It could also be your filament, what kind is it and does it measure the same at different parts of the spool? When you seat the Bowden, make sure you are still pushing the tube down while using...
