Thanks, that's the reason I'm being cautious, 5v rail disintegrated last time (warranty replacement).

Finally reached the stage where I want to install a BLTouch Smart V2 and I wondered if you guys would cast your eyes over the attached pictures to make sure I’m not doing anything stupid.

Also, in the RRF config tool it says “Make sure you change it to use +3.3V instead of +5V before you connect it or you risk damaging your board!”

However on the dozuki.com page which it links to it says “The Z probe input on the Duet 2 Maestro and Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet rev 1.04 and later is 30V tolerant, so it doesn't matter whether you reduce the output of the BLTouch to 3.3V or leave it at 5V.”

Which is correct??

Any other comments appreciated before I throw the switch!!!

A little bit of ringing (think that's what they call it) to take care of, but overall very happy.

This is working pretty well on my Ender 5, still playing with the settings but had some nice prints from it.

Points to note, I am using a geared extruder and a none Creality stepper motor on the X carriage. If you load the .json file into RR configurator, make changes to suit your setup you should at least be up and running.

It is with great pleasure that I can inform fellow forum members that the printer is now functioning as expected. Setting the endstops to active high at the low end did indeed do the trick.

For reference the endstop LED’s are on and go off when the switches are activated.

Many thanks one and all for your input.

Thanks, not worried about the Z probe yet, just want to get the printer running.

M119 is producing a comment of "Not Stopped" on X,Y and Z axis.......also on Z probe, which I did not set up???

Should I go ahead with Active High at low end?

Sorry, just to be clear, do you mean switch the endstops from “Active Low (NO)” to “Active High (NC)” in the RRF config tool?

Or should I switch the wires over on the connectors?

David, thanks I'll do that first when I get back from lunch.

Excellent, thanks, I'll do that later today and report back.

I haven’t ran an M119 yet (print head won’t reach the endstops). The endstop LED’s are lit up and go out when I depress each endstop switch - does that sound correct?

Thanks, I’ll implement your changes. However as I cannot even get the printer to home yet I haven’t looked at the extruder.

I did put in some conservative setting to give me time to switch the printer off should anything go awry, which it did with the home test macro.

Not sure those changes will do anything to get the printer to home, is there anything else I need to look at?

Thanks, hopefully attached:

Having some problems setting up this Duet Wifi board on a Creality Ender 5.

This is my second board, the previous, up to the point of fitting a BLTouch, was no problem, ran through the RFF config tool and all went well, even managed a couple of prints. On this occasion I cannot get the printer to home (using the same settings as previous).

The printer is trying to home after clicking "home all", but is only moving in around 5 to 10mm jerks in all directions. Repeatedly pressing this will eventually get the print head to home on the Z axis but only close on the X and Y, then stops.

I tried the "home all test" macro and the Z axis took off at a horrendous rate, luckily I was able to switch the printer off before any inevitable damage to the printer was done.

Any help appreciated.

Excellent, many thanks.

OK, how do I go about tuning it?

Hi,

The exact message is:

“ERROR: Heater fault on heater 0, temperature rising much more slowly than expected
1.3c sec”

No I haven’t tried any heater tuning.

Thanks

Edit: Sorry forgot to mention, the hot end fan is also connected but directly through the power supply block.

This post is directed mainly at David, however I'm happy for anyone who has had a similar problem to chip in.

Upon the warranty return of my Duet Wifi board I decided to take it slowly and one step at a time:

Got the Wi-Fi connected - no problem
Connected the hot end wiring and thermistor
Connected the bed heater wiring and thermistor

Decided to test things so far - hot end went up to 180c without problem and levelled off nicely.

Problem is with the bed heater, it will not go above 35c before switching off and returning a fault of "Taking excessively long to heat up, check wiring" ( I paraphrase)

I have checked all wiring and connections and cannot see any problems. It takes only a few seconds to go from an ambient of 20.5c to 35.4c (seems a reasonable time to me).

Any thoughts?

Will do, thanks.

Hi David,

I have spoken to Daniel at E3D with regards the WiFi board, I understand I have to return it to him along with a reseller warranty form, if this is correct I can arrange that.

Regarding the Paneldue 5i, I would like to have that fully checked over, although I said it worked with the short ribbon cable, which it did, now I think about it a fault was reported in a small red box in the top right of the screen prior to me disconnecting it.

Do I need to fill out another warranty form or just return both items under the one claim?

OK, thanks, I purchased both items from E3D, I'll contact them a little later.

Should I include the Paneldue as well, is there a problem there seperate from the above?
