Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

The X-direction ridges and valleys at each end suggest that you still have a small issue with backlash, probably caused by either a sticky joint or play in asjoint.

SeeMeCNC has their own version of the Smart Effector now, and that may fit your ball and socket arms better. The Duet3D one is designed to be used with magnetic joints.

I'm debating about going with the Delta Smart Effector but I haven't heard anything on their pluses and minuses. I'm skittish about putting a PCB that close to the business end of a hotend. How about it David, what's it's track record so far? The feedback we have from users of the Smart Effector is...

The ridges and valleys running along the X direction mean that the height of the effector depends on whether that XY point was approached from the +X or -X direction. This could be caused by loose or sticky joints. The big drop at the right hand side is odd. It could indicate that the FSRs don't tri...

I can corroborate the need to play with especially extruder current limits; mine (totally stock) was skipping terribly when I first got it. I goosed it up in increments until it didn't skip any longer, then added 100mA to that value just for some insurance. I don't see any downside, and none of my ...

If you upgrade the firmware in the wrong order it's no big deal, you can get them in sync again without using bossac. Just move the SD card to a PC, replace the /www folder with the contents of the correct version DuetWebControl.zip file, and copy the main firmware file (Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin) t...

It would be nice to get a temperature reading on the TMC drivers.. The MCU temperature is running very low. The TMC drivers don't report their temperatures, but they do provide an over temperature warning well before they reach the shutdown temperature. I use this to turn on the electronics cooling...

Nice!

@Xenocrates, thanks for providing clarification. I haven't looked at SeeMeCNC's repo for a while.

The version number for RRF is in the Version.h file. When I commit new fimware I usually include the version number in the title of the commit.

Duet Web Control does include the file date in the GCode file listing, and the most recent few versions allow you to sort the file list by date. If you are viewing the list on a smartphone then you might need to scroll the display (horizontally?) to see the date.

The sound difference between the Duet 0.8.5 and the DuetWifi is astonishing. The 0.8.5 is insanely loud in comparison. g. The Duet 0.6 is already incredibly easier on the ears than the Rambo ever was too! ;-) Assuming the same motor current in both cases, that would be because RepRapFirmware genera...

I've put a comparison of the existing Duets and the Maestro at https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/The_Duet ... lectronics.

The disadvantages of ATX PSUs are that you generally need to put a dummy load on the 5V output, the output voltage is not adjustable, it is likely to be a little less than 12V, and unless you buy a good brand name PSU then it is likely to be not well regulated. All of which means that you may be sho...

To get a more accurate reading from the thermocouple, feed it into the hot end through a short Bowden tube instead of filament.

Yup, but something else is different in the 1.21 firmware because without changing from stock anything, the XYZ motors create that highpitch noise and don't move--that's what I was talking about, the extruder is what reminded me of what could be the issue. The culprit was the "G0 Z5 F30000;&qu...

https://www.repetier.com/dead-time-control/ OK, at present this just seems to be an issue on warmup not when the hotend is up to temperature. There is no M307 in the default configuration file for H1 In that case I suggest you run M303 heater tuning, and transfer the results to a M307 command in co...

We get very few issues with connectivity on the Duet Ethernet. Have you tried a different Ethernet cable, and a different port on your router or switch? Are you certain that the IP address you assigned to the Duet isn't also being used by another device? If you've already checked those things then p...

That ending code looks ok except that on some deltas, turning off the motors with M84 may allow the effector to drop so that the still-hot nozzle melts into the print. I suggest you leave out the M84. The motor current will be reduced to the idle value after 30 seconds of no movement anyway.

What commands do you have in your slicer end script?

If you rename the DuetWiFiFirmware.bin file that you want to install to Duet2CombinedFirnware.bin and upload it through DWC on the Settings General page, it should install.

13.8V is no problem, the Duet can handle up to 25V.

Have you tried assigning the Duet a static IP address in the M552 command? There were some potential issues with the DHCP client when the lease expired, and although I believe these are fixed in firmware 1.21 it's hard to be sure.

You can't print an STL file directly, you need to slice it first.

Did you try a different Ethernet cable?

Hey Gene, Will this method get me up to 150C? Thanks, Matt Yes if you choose a suitable power density. I use a 350W 300mm diameter AC silicone heater to heat a 330mm diameter bed, which works out around 0.4W per sq cm. It reaches 150C easily (not that I normally use it that high) and I have had it ...

There is already a Cat 5 option, it's called the Duet Ethernet. AFAIK it's not yet an option on the Artemis.
