Thanks both I was looking for general settings. I'm not as familiar with Simplify 3D and just needed a 'safe' range to test with.

So after a looooot of hardwork and time I've finally gotten everything up and working on my Duet Wifi setup with the Rostock V2, and the most of the settings are fairly well calibrated. I don't have a lot of experience with Simplify 3D, my first slicer was Cura, so what are good speed settings for a Rostock V2 with an E3D V6 hot end?

Presently my settings are:
Default Printing Speed 2400.0 mm/min
Outline Underspeed 50%
Solid Infill Underspeed 80%
Solid Inflill Underspeed 80%
Support Structure Underspeed 80%
X/Y Axis Movement Speed 9000.0 mm/min
Z Axis Movement Speed 1200.0 mm/min

This seems painfully slow, but I'm really not sure of a good safe range for speed especially with the upgrades. Any suggestions? I will say the machine is presently whisper quiet. The loudest part now seems to be the power supply fan.

DC42: I'm using 210 throughout. Fan speeds startup at 25%.

Bot: I forget what type of tape I'm using but it was recommended as better then Kapton for hot end installation.

At this point its sounding more and more like the best choice is to simply move ahead the time table on my inevitable upgrade to an E3D hot end.

Bot: Done and done. No effect. I use a different, thicker tape then Kapton but basically the same stuff. I think whats happening, especially at the low levels is I'm just getting a lot of blow back from the fans on the hot end off the build plate.

DC42: I'm not using an E3D hot End. Saving up for one now, but I'm still using the stock Rostock hot end with a replacement heater cartridge. This is basically how I've printed with this machine since March. I've never had extrusion issues with the layer fans kicking in. I've always assumed that the thermistor is not capturing the correct internal temperature of the hot end, as on this unit the thermistor is mounted closer to the outside of the entire hot end assembly. Unlike my Ultimaker 2 where the thermistor is mounted as close to the center of the hot end end as possible. This means its more sensitive to external cooling initially, however, given time the temperature eventually evens out.

Stephen: I will try this.

DC42: I can confirm that when the layer fans turn on they do indeed drop the temperature on the hot end significantly. I have attempted a slower fan startup but this does not seem to fix the issue as even running at 25% it is enough to knock the hot end below the fault threshold. Is there any way to shut off this error checking or any other suggestion?

Stephen I have tuned the heaters. The lines

M307 H1 A467.0 C226.2 D12.3 S0.7 B0
M307 H0 A113.1 C743.8 D26.6 S1 B0

in my config file are the values I got after tuning them.

DC42, looking at the log files it does seem to occur shortly after the layer fans turn on. I'm not sure by how much the temperature drops, but considering I have 3 layer fans pointed in the hot ends direction it could be fairly significant. I will run through a test when I get home to find out the exact amount.

I feel like I'm so close to getting this machine working I can taste it, but every attempt to actually print something ends up in a Heater fault after the first layer or so. Leaving my bed or hot end at a specific temperature seems to work fine, and they'll stay at any temperature I set them to from the Duet web interface without fault. I only see issues when I load a g-code file and attempt to print.

I've installed my Duet Wifi on a Rostock Max V2, which is pretty much stock in all other regards (no Z probe, stock heater). I've also ran the heater calibration for both the bed and hot end.

My config.g file looks as follows:

I am using Simplify3d to Slice, and have set the GCode to Relative, and included the following lines in my startup:

G28 ; home all axes

Any help?
