just did a M119 and I get this if that helps? …. M119
Endstops - X: at min stop, Y: at min stop, Z: not stopped, Z probe: not stopped -
thinking it's in this section.. but no clue what to change/delete/ncomment…

If you're not using a Z-probe, then you shouldn't have the M558/G31/M557 lines (delete the whole line).
Use M119 to test if the Z-endstop is wired properly - trigger it manually and check that it says "at min stop".
-
Have you read https://duet3d.com/wiki/Configuring_RepRapFirmware_for_a_Cartesian_printer#Homing_Z ?
no.. I hadn't ,… sweet!!! sooo much info and sooo little brain .
. thanks .

ya, thought that line(s) weren't needed but still WAY to new to this code/board and didn't want to make things worse (I have a habit of that
) -
No worries, we all start somewhere! Happy to help.

That worked !!! thanks for pointing to that!! printed out the whole section, need to read through it throughly

OK new issue.. might be nothing? just did the PID auto tune thing.. after it came up with a warning..
"warning, heater one appears to be over powered and a fire risk!! If left on at full power, it's temp is predicted to reach 757C"Umm ….ack?
now the PID tune should prevent this correct?
is there a way to lower the power coming out of the board? looked at the "hotend" settings but nothing says "hot end power", or voltage or something.. -
All a PID tune does is help the controller hold the desired temperature better, i.e. with less variation. Think of PID tuning as practicing walking on a tightrope - once your brain is trained (the PID gains are tuned), there's less wobbling around (temperature variation).
A heater that powerful is a fire risk if the controller were to fail. I would guess you're using a 12v heater on 24v, or a 40w heater with a sock or other insulation?

nope, 12v system with 12v heater heater is stock MK8.. there is a sock on it I made.
Ya I get the basis of the PID tune.. and got to say, it's WAY more stable than with marlin's.. getting like a 0.5º variation where marlin I was get +/-2º or more.
-
Sounds like a 40 watt heater with a sock. That is too much heat/too much insulation, if the Duet's FETs ever failed on, the hotend would reach ~700C, melt the heater block, and likely start a fire. Would recommend a 30w heater if you plan to use a sock.
The PID tune won't prevent a fire as no matter what the gains are, it can't compensate for a hardware failure.
