Retraction settings with E3D-v6 - Slower is better

I think I may have seen this mentioned somewhere else on this forum, however, having struggled for the last week with severe stringing with PLA when I upgraded my Rostock Max V2 to use an E3D v6 head I thought it might be worth mentioning again. It might help somebody else struggling with the same ...

Thank you, will do!

Re: Anyone using FSR's with their duet? Can you share your bed.g file?

I'm having good success with this on a Rostock Max V2 with a Duet and FSRs. It was generated using the tool dc42 links to. You can go to a larger diameter but I found that the bed wasn't flat enough for consistent results too near the edges. Note I have one H value. You likely want to get rid of ...

Re: Odd behavior on "reprints"

A command of the form M109 S220 T0 is interpreted as meaning set the active temperature of tool 0 to 220C and then wait until the active tool (if any) is up to temperature. There's the point of discussion. I'd contend that this should be interpreted as wait until T0 is up to temperature, but I see ...

Re: Odd behavior on "reprints"

The tool change script code is inserted AFTER the initial heating. Right, it's after the initial heating, but should be before actual printing starts so it achieves the same result? I still don't understand why the firmware is ignoring the heating command when it's explicitly indicating which hot ...

Re: Odd behavior on "reprints"

As Gene says, S3D *does* send a T0 before printing. Unfortunately it sends it after the heating commands, just before it actually starts extruding. :( It assumes that the T0 at the end of the M109 command will suffice to tell the M109 which extruder to heat. However, I think you have hit on a ...

Re: Stopping initial retract?

The discussion of config.g confused me. If it's doing it at the start of a print, that's normal. I think all the slicers assume you have the nozzle primed and do a retraction move before the non-printing move to the first printing move. Yes, that's happening but, for some reason, I'm getting a ...

Re: Stopping initial retract?

BTW - the move to Duet has made real improvements to the print quality of my Rostock Max V2. These are both from the same machine and same gcode file. Only difference is the Duet. Left is stock machine, right is Duet.

Re: Stopping initial retract?

My T0 command is at the end of my config.g file - I've got the same issue where it's not heating the hot end after I upgraded to 1.12a from 1.09k.... I wonder if the T0 in config.g is being ignored. g. I think the T0 has to be immediately before the associated heating command, that's how I got it ...

Re: Stopping initial retract?

Do you have an M563 P0 D0 H1 somewhere in config.g? It shouldn't be interpreting the G10 command as a firmware retract unless the P parameter is missing and other than checking for the M563, the only other thing I can think of that might be confusing it would be that I've always set the ...

Stopping initial retract?

I'm running DC42 V1.12a (2016-05-10) on a Duet with a Rostock Max V2. All seems to be working fine. I have one question, the last line in config.g is G10 P0 S0 R0 X0 Y0 Which, I believe, is supposed to just set the default temperatures for the main extruder. However it also causes a retraction which ...

Re: Duet setup - instructions in progress

I connected my Duet to the printer before turning it on....... It sounds like you are editing the config.g exactly as I have via the web interface by "applying settings" after which the Duet reboots and you reconnect. Not sure why it is not updating when you "apply settings." Thanks for responding ...

Re: OpenDACT(Delta Automatic Calibration Tool) - For Repetier

Quick question. I'm trying to use V1.04 of the html, manual, tool. Reading this thread (and there's a lot of it so I might have missed something! :) ) it seems like I should ignore Delta Radius changes as they will change part scaling. (I tried running it using Delta Radius, and indeed they do, I ...

Re: Does Your Rostock MAX v2 Hold Its Calibration?

I'm having the exact same problem as reported by Eric LB. That is, my zero positions at the bed center and at each of the towers are very accurate, however there are significant errors at the points half way between towers at larger radii. In particular all those points have larger gaps so it's very ...

Re: New builder, new build

Fantastic! Many thanks to all for the detailed replies. The accelerometer sensing looks very interesting. My 'other' 3D printer is a Lulzbot Mini and I must admit I do like the auto calibration... :D I wanted a larger build area and was intrigued by the delta format so I'm really looking forward to ...

Many thanks for the responses and encouragement! It certainly seems like those three parts are surplus to requirements. I'll not worry about them if nobody recognizes them. As to the asymmetry of the ball joint platform My photo doesn't show it very well. Here's the one from the manual. The side ...

You need the latest assembly manual at http://download.seemecnc.com/rostockmax/Rostock-MAX-v2-Assembly-Guide-4thEdition.pdf Section 12 shows the ball arms and all parts so that you can assemble correctly.

Hi, new poster here from Austin TX. I'm about 90% through with a build of a Rostock Max V2 and have a couple of questions. My apologies if these are covered in the manual or elsewhere but I've read through many times and can't find either one mentioned. My first question relates to the orientation ...
