Problems with adapting Duet to 3D Kreator Motion 3D printer

DocTrucker

There was a three pin fan voltage selector on the Duet Ethernet I had a few months back. Look at the wiring schematic and you'll be able to remove the jumper and feed one of these pins with the voltage you require.

Test the axes by jogging them before you attempt homing. You can send M564 H0 to allow them to be jogged before they have been homed.

Regarding the fans, see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_and_configuring_fans#Section_Using_12V_fans_when_VIN_is_24V. Or buy 24V fans, they don't cost much.

Ok, I'll buy new fans

Jogging works ok.
Sould the endstop light be off when triggered or on? Mine are constantly lit, and going off whe they're triggered. I've tried to flip tem in configurator tool, and they're stil not working.
Is there any additional steps to enable sensorless homing apart from setting this in config?

ov_darkness

Homing is not working.
No matter if I set NO or NC, or use stall detection. It just keeps banging head against the frame
Ok, I have this sorted: my printer now homes perfectly!

@dc42 Another question:
Is there a way to use Z sensor that close circuit between bed and nozzle on specific points ( 4 corners and in the middle of front and back)?

Old board had this semi-automatic bed leveling, where it was positioning itself over the corners of the build plate and flashed RGBW LED's when nozzle was touching the bed.
It would be nice to have this in Duet, also, is there a way to control RGB LED's?

That's normal if you are using NC switches, which is the recommended way of using microswitches. Use S1 in the M574 command in config.g. That's S1 in the M574 command in config.g.

Test the endstops as described at https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_endstop_switches#Section_Test_endstop_switches.

Yes, that's possible. connect the two contacts to the two outer pins of the E0 endstop input. In your M558 command select mode 4 (P4) and also use the I1 parameter.

I've found a while to work on this project, but documentation is somewhat unclear to me and I don;t want to damage my Duet.
If I read this right I need to remove V_FAN jumper, then connect DC-DC converter IN to always on fan output (so I lose one out).
then I need to connect DC-DC V_OUT to middle pin of V_FAN and leave the GND_OUT unconnected as this is common negative?

Can I use 24V out from my PSU instead of always on Fan?

Yes, in fact that's the correct way to do it.

ov_darkness

Printer works as expected
Thank you for your help @dc42
Soon I'll be putting together much bigger and faster machine with Duet.
It'll be heated chamber COREXY.

I have problems using G32.
I keep gettion [code]G32
Error: G29: No valid grid defined for bed probing[/code]
My bed.g file looks like that:

Do you have an m557 command in config.g to define your grid to probe?

dc42

Your bed.g file probes 6 point, then does nothing with that probing and runs G29 instead. Was it really generated exactly like that by the online configuration tool? If so then we need to get that fixed.

I suggest you edit bed.g to contain just this command:

G29 S0 ;Probe the bed and save height map to file

and add a M557 grid definition to config.g. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Using_mesh_bed_compensation.

@dc42 no, it was edited by me.
I have M557 defined in Config.g

If you already have a M557 command in config.g and you are getting the "No valid grid defined" message, then that M557 command failed. Try sending exactly the same M557 command from the GCode Console to see what the error is.
