Duet3D PCB delta printer effector sneak preview

Zesty_Lykle

Thanks for the remind Doug!

I have published the adapter on Thingiverse. Quite a simple little design really.

I'll grab one of shapeways as I know it will be perfect

Will the new hotend mount be mandatory to be able to use the new effector?

If yes then it would be great if you could offer a bundle, that will help to reduce customs costs for importing because everything is shipped in one package from one vendor.

dc42

Yes we will offer a kit comprising the effector + carriage adapters + connectors + custom E3Dv6 heatsink. You will be able to order other E3Dv6 parts at the same time if you want.

@Hergonoway:

Dumb question, there's a jumper to switch from 12 to 24v, is it just to select the VIN you've got right, it doesn't let you plug 12v fan on a 24 VIN ?

It's just to select the correct series resistor for the illumination LEDs. It doesn't affect the voltage fed to the fans.

Regarding the print cooling fan, we have a suggested printable design for a fan bracket and fan duct to suit a 40mm x 10mm fan; but you can of course use a different design instead.

So with the kit I won't use my genuine E3D heatsink but the custom one in the kit?

Correct

Cata

It's possible to use a v6 lite?

Dougal1957

No but again all the other parts from the lite are the same as the full so you just need to custom Heatsink parts. plus a heatbreak, Nozzle and heater parts are common.

The first 4 production effectors passed testing this morning, so I've just given the go ahead for manufacture of the rest of this batch to proceed.

Dougal1957

David that is excellent news.

So I guess we are talking about 2-3 weeks for them to be available then?

Doug

Rommie

Ahhhhh I need one lol

loic

i really love the design and the light weight
now it will be great to have piezo sensor available for this effector with nimble it could be a beast combo

@dc42:

It's a secret until we start shipping them.

does it will be compatible with smoothieware software?
i hope uk shipping cost will not killing us..(it so expansive..)

It should work with other electronics and firmware if you accept the default sensitivity. Whether that will work for you depends on the level of vibration of the effector during probing.

The nozzle contact sensor is built in, so no need for a piezo. At least one of our beta testers is looking at mounting a Nimble on it.

Yes Dougal1957 has a Nimble mounted on it and indeed, it is a great combo.
His pictures of the combination are on page 6 of this thread, as is the link to the adapter he used.

I too will be doing the same as doug, adapter is already ordered from shapeways lol just need dc too send me an effector lol wink wink , can't wait too be fair it is a fantastic bit of kit and very good at probing from what I have seen from Doug's pictures.

thanks great
but does it will be better than a simple micro switch accuracy?
does it piezo or other way sensor?

From what I have seen of mesh bed comp between piezo and dc effector it wins hands down, I know doug has had experience with piezo and dc effector and he can't praise it enough. Getting to 0.002 dev on his tests
