I'm hoping to use Home Assistant to turn on a HEPA filter that is powered off a HA plug strip. This way depending on the filament configuration it either turns on automatically at the start of a print and off once a certain time after completion or turns on after print completion and runs for a timer.

HA can control the fan and timer and just needs duet to tell it the print reached a milestone (set on the duet side when start or end of print macro is triggered per filament.

I've also got MotionEye cameras that feed into HA and if I could start or stop a print from HA I would have those buttons on the page with the camera views.

Last reason I'd like HA integration is I have touchscreena around the house that control things in HA and if duet had integration I could just walk up to one of those and change tabs with the existing build instead of having to larch something else or modify the build.

Laser!

@coseng
Have you looked at Curate 5.0s variable line widths? That seems to be taking aim at your problem of the cad and the nozzle not being multiples.

@baenwort I don't think duet 2 hardware with SBC will be getting the new features either but I may be wrong about it.

Only in the sense that the SBC would allow for some greater flexibility, but firmware wise, no.

I wouldn't make the change to SBC mode in the hopes of something greater in the future, only if you required something it provides currently.

Ahh, darn.

My hope was the off boarding of calculations and functions to a SBC would enable those newer features to work but perhaps I've been misunderstanding how much the SBC offloads work from the Duet board?

Yes, the tricky one I'm still looking for a good guide is adding a single board computer (SBC) to the Duet2Ethernet boards. With the news that firmwares beyond 3.4 are going to have features the Duet2's can't handle I'm wishing to add a SBC to my board so I can keep up.

Do you mean v3.2.2 as I don't think v2 firmware got past v2.05_1?

If you want to have a example the SeeMeCNC provided version is running 3.2.2 and that should get you a configuration that is good upto firmware 3.3 firmware.

For 3.4 there are some more changes needed. I'm using the SE300 hotend setup so I'm not positive on which changes you may need for your modified configuration.

@bberger for my last three duet machines I did not have to crimp anything with a special or universal tool. Working with the hotend to customize for me has not needed customized wireing harness as all my changes are from the Smart Effector base.

I feel that universal crimps give poor results more often than good and a specifically designed tool should be used when the hardware was designed for one.

If we went to ferrule for the heater wiring I would personally have no problem as I do have a toll specifically for that. However, I would caution against it due to my desire to keep from forcing people to buy tools.

Perhaps one of the Duet people can correct me on the requirement to have a molex tool to build a Duet system?

I know several vendors of Duet boards in the US use alternative connects to the Molex ones due to supply but they are compatible with the male ends on the board.

@tekstyle did you find something or end up buying the Duet3?

I do hope that we keep with screw terminals as it lets me use a wide range of heaters and setups without having to buy another expensive crimping tool.

Using a thermistor/PT1000 with extra wire length is not a problem due to the size and flexibility of them. But heater wires are another matter and when you use custom, experimental, or different hotends and heatsinks it needs to be flexible.

It won't be fun to be limited on compatibility because you can't find a heater with the right length.

I'm hoping to convert my Duet2Ethernet to use the SBC using a finalized version of the mod that showed up to help with the limitation but it seems to have died out and no one ever posted something I could follow well enough.

@poofjunior glad to see it reach this stage! I've been interested in the jubilee concept since I encountered parts on the SeeMeCNC site.

I think my next built will still be a Rostock V5 but I'm going to follow this to see reviews from more people and see how the tool system comes along.

@dougal1957 said in Uneven Fixed Delta Printer bed with Bltouch and 3D Touch:

@sniper23 Sounds like you are suffering the dreaded Effector tilt so I would suggest you try to sort that before you go much further.

It's usually caused by the arms not being exactly the same length and or the spacing not being perfectly parallel

As a patch until you can sort out the mechanical issue that is causing the effector tilt you can set the Z parameter for each G30 in your bed.g for each of the sample points. Make sure you move through the points in the same order as effector tilt is often dependant on the direction of motion.

You'll want to move to each point and do the measuring trigger height and checking repeatability from https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Calibrating_a_delta_printer#Section_Setting_up_the_bed_g_file

But it is much better to find the source of tilt. Not that you can remove it all with a side mounted probe. But you can reduce it to less than 0.2mm and should be able to reach 0.1mm. That is why so many Delta users have moved to the Smart Effector and other nozzle probes. (FSRs under the bed also don't have this problem but have their own troublespots)

@fotomas said in Anyone tested ironing with transparent filament?:

@baenwort I am using PrusaSlicer that also has the monotonic pattern, for the top layer.

This is the bottom pattern and second layer so monotonic is not applicable.

It is the crossing between the spiral pattern in the bottom layer and the rect linear pattern in the second payer that causes the moiré effect.

As far as I know there is no way of choose the fillpattern of solid layers within a model other than 100% infill and a infill pattern, but those are 3D patterns in almost all cases...

The setting in Curate can be applied to Top and Bottom lines. It can also be applied to Ironing and or the actual top/bottom layer lines.

You'll need to go into Setting visibility and enable them but it may help.

Combined with setting a bottom layers thickness that causes the bottom several layers to be monotonic and the same pattern (doesn't need to be just concentric) you might improve things. It may also need you to set the top/bottom line direction manually so they go the same way for non concentric patterns. The default has each layer of the bottom going in a different direction.

@fotomas are you using Cura, and do you have the Monotonic setting enabled?

https://community.ultimaker.com/topic/37964-ultimaker-cura-411-is-available-now/

I think Superslicer has a similar setting. It may help with the visual pattern.

This is a new one for me as the earlier steps have hit on all the causes I've seen before. I think we will have to wait for one of the experts like @Phaedrux or someone to give some ideas.

@nikscha I think it could be useful for some of those things but I would caution against replacing the strain gauge as the has been tried before for Deltas with the HE280 hotend from SeeMeCNC.

The strain gauge is more accurate and has worked better than accelerometer only. It could be great combined but I wouldn't go entirely over.

I'm still hopeful someone will post instructions I can follow for converting a Duet2Ethernet to d2+SBC as I'd like to have the extra processing ability for some of the hoped to have plugins.

I wanted to add this has been a educational thread for me as to some of the constraints on Delta designs.

I don't know if I would switch to a smart effector over the SE300 but a revision that includes this would make me give consideration to losing the print area outside the triangle of the towers.

I'd like for the cancel and resume buttons to be further apart on mobile.

I can remember every long print that my filament sensors save and after loading more I go to resume printing but finger the button wrong because of finger size relative to button size or parallax between screen, eyes, and digitizer.
