Config & GCode review
-
Hello!
So some quick backstory, I just got into 3D Printing roughly 2 weeks ago. I picked up an Ender 5 Plus. Everything was printing smooth. I originally looked into getting the silent board from Creality as the printer is in the basement near the Wifes Office and she can hear the steppers as well as the glorious Ender 5 Plus Z squeal. A friend of mine is big into 3D printing and gifted me a spare Duet 2 Wifi as it would silence the drivers and offer 32 bit with potential expandability if I ever choose. Now, I completely understood from the start that this was not going to be a drop in replacement. But, I am also struggling with getting the settings ironed out.
Any chance someone can look over the configs, g-code, etc. and see if anything stands out? Or offer any form of direction. Again, I am extremely new to all of this and am learning as I go so please feel free to be overly critical. Thank You!!
Listed below is what I am currently running:
Equipment:
- Stock Ender 5 Plus
- BL-Touch (heater3, pin8)
- PanelDue 7i
Firmwares:
- RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet 3.2.2 (2021-02-11)
Slicer:
- Cura 4.8.0 (primary)
- Have S3D if needed
Filament:
- eSun PLA+ (1.75mm,
- 210c/60c
Noticeable Problems:
- Extrusion problems
- Zits and Blobs
- Inconsistent Layers both first and consecutive
- Occasional slipping of extruder
- Losing my mind

There's a series of guides on converting the Ender 3 over. In the end it's quite similar to the ender 5. It may help clarify some things.
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/Ender+3+Pro+and+Duet+Maestro+Guide+Part+1:+Wiring/37
Part 5, for calibration may be what you're after right now.

The second link is for a more recent guide using RRF3, which is still in progress.
