I updated the server firmware and still no luck. I think it might be a Surfacebook 2 thing I suppose. I'm guessing maybe however they decided to run their hotspot isn't compatible with DuetWifi. Strange thing was it worked for a day and then next day it stopped...

That option does work, but I am trying to figure out what the issue is behind connecting to the windows hotspot. I suppose it's not a matter of getting it to connect, but figuring out what is stopping the duet from connecting to the windows hotspot versus a smart phone hotspot.

I am running the version 1.22

I did try it at the 2.4ghz but the results were the same. I also tried connecting to the public wifi which did have an IP but still wouldn't connect. The only luck so far I've had was connecting it to the phone.

Hello Everyone,

I'm working in a bit of a public setting and was trying to use my windows wifi laptop to act as a hotspot to connect the duet but I've been running into some weird problems.

The duet can sometimes connect to the laptop hotspot but it won't be accessible through the IP address in a browser, other times it won't connect to the laptop hotspot at all and it can't find the SSID of the laptop. I can connect my phone to the laptop hotspot, but the duet is having some issues. I can also turn my phone's hotspot on and connect both the laptop and the duet and access it there.

My question is mainly what could be causing the connection problem between the duet and the laptop? I'm not too versed in networking but I am just using the native built-in hotspot function in windows 10 with a surfacebook 2.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you so much for the help! This sounds like exactly what I needed. Will definitely update with the results as I move forward.

Hello Forums!

I'm trying to build a ceramic extruder style delta printer. I have experience running duetwifis for my corexy builds and find the interface really great. My question right now is that would it be possible to run both extruders, similar to a dual extrusion build, at the same time? The theoretical setup would be to have a stepper run the plunger and another stepper run the auger at the end of the nozzle. The step settings in the duet config file would take care of the right amount of material to extrude but I dont know how I can run both extruders at the same time or if any slicer is able to do the same.

Any suggestions for a setup like this?

So I've tried cleaning it without tools and no luck. But I bought a chimera extruder so I loaded up the filament into the second head and gave it a go. The filament came out smoothly. Something must have jammed up the other nozzle during calibration at some point. I would say it's safe to conclude that this was a mechanical fault in the nozzle, nothing software or electrically related.

Thanks for the responses.

I connected the resistor and got about 239C with the B4388 setting. This seems within the correct range, so it's probably safe to assume the thermistor is correctly being read by the board. I tried pushing some filament through the nozzle at higher temperatures but still no good, it sounds like I may have to take the whole thing apart and take a look to see if there is any other type of clogging happening.

Hello dc24,

I'm using some hatchbox pla from amazon. The label states 190-210C. I think I might have to buy a thermocouple if I'm to check this temperature measurement. The filament still comes out of the very curled up to 260C. I have experience using this filament on a makerbot 5th gen so in my experience the way it's leaving the extruder is out of the ordinary. Is the benefit of using a PT100 sensor much greater than a typical thermistor?

Hello Everyone,

I'm running into a bit of an issue getting filament to move through the hot end. Right now I have my settings in the latest reprap firmware release:

M305 P1 T100000 R4700 B4388 H0 L0
M305 P2 T100000 R4700 B4388 H0 L0

When using the webcontrol, the hot end temperature is set at 195c, but the filament isn't moving through the hot end smoothly at all, and bumping the heat up to 235c is still requiring a fair amount of force to push the filament out; for some hatchbox pla usually 195c should be plenty hot in my experience for the filament to come out molten and smooth. It's also coming out very curly. I've tried the manufacture B-value at 4267, from the manufacture datasheet, as well and I'm still getting similar results. I found the current B-value from the e3d wiki. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
