@ droftarts @deckingman Thank you for your input.

The main issue was that the cabling on my version of the LDO motor (which I bought in late 2022) is "unusual". On my YRBG (Yellow, Red, Blue, Green) cabeling, YR should be one pair and BG the other.

(Note that the colors of my LDO, do NOT match the colors used on the RevA spec sheet: https://www.bondtech.se/downloads/TDS/HT-LDO-36STH20-1004AHG(XH)-RevA.pdf !)

However, after using the short-out-a-pair method for establishing the pairs from here: https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Motors_connecting it turns out that the two pairs in fact are GR and YB! The following mapping of the cables to the A+/A- B+/B- notation the Duet board uses seems to work:

A+ => Green
A- => Red
B+ => Yellow
B- => Blue

(Note: there maybe other valid mappings, this is just the first one I tried and it works for me)

Cheers

Chris

Hi!

I'm trying to figure out how to wire the four cables from the LGX Lite stepper motor (Yellow, Red, Blue, Green) to the four pins on the mini 5+ board (Red=B-, Blue=B+, Green=A- and Black=A+). Would anybody who has done this be willing to share which goes where?

Thanks!

LGX Lite wiring:

Duet3D wiring:

So would reducing this a bit, so say 105 mm and putting that also into the Cura printer dimensions solve all this?

Here's the config file.

Radius seems large enough, but you were correct, it can't actually physically reach that corner!

THANKS!

Hi!

I'm running firmware 2.05.1 (latest for version 2) on a Anycubic kossel plus. When I print a 160 x 160 mm box (which is pretty large but totally reachable for the nozzle) I get a "bug" where the walls are printed several mm inside (what would be a say 155 x 155 mm box) but the bottom (and later infill and top) layers are printed correctly for 160 x 160 - except the corners are rounded:

Now, that could be a Cura 4.8 problem, but the gcode looks fine in Cura:

and I've also loaded it into Craftware, where it looks fine, too. Somehow the correct gcode for the walls gets translated a bit towards the inside, and I'm pretty confused as to why that happens.

This is the gcode:bonkers.gcode

The rounded corners remind me of the way a brim would look, except I have no brim and no skirt!

So .... is this a known issue? Was this fixed in 3? Or is it maybe something with how I've setup the geometry of my printer? Any insight would be appreciated!

First of all: Vielen Dank!
But I'm unclear on most of the steps you seem to suggest and need some more guidance ...

You said: subtract the value from 16.67

Step1: changed G31 Z value in config.g to the new smaller value:

config.g:

; Z-Probe
M558 P4 H2 F300 T8000                        ; Set Z probe type to switch and the dive height + speeds H (was 1.5)
G31 P1000 X0 Y0 Z15.82              ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height, was 16.67 before V6
M557 R110 S20                                      ; Define mesh grid

You said: "you are saving the G31 offset in you config overwrite. adjust the G31 command there."

So should I put my G31 into bed.g instead of config.g?

(I know I could just test if this is correct but again I'd rather be sure instead of mess stuff up ....)

Regarding your suggestion to use the film pressure probe style (https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32968709878.html) instead

They do look much easier to use but are they precise enough?

Also, do they wear out with repeated use?

I've just upgraded the hotend from the anycubic e3d clone to a real E3D v6 lite. Before the upgrade, be leveling, etc. worked fine and the mechanical probe, how it's attached, etc. are exactly the same and I can do mesh leveling just fine.

What has changed, is the position of the nozzle as the V6 is a bit shorter than the stock hotend was. As a result, the nozzle is now 0.85 mm too high, which I can easily adjust at the start of the print by setting the z-babystepping to -0.85 mm. But, I would like to put this 0.85 mm offset into my config, so I don't have to set it manually. Question is - how?

I feel a bit silly asking for help with this seemingly simple adjustment but I didn't find it looking a similar posts. Also, I'm not fully clear on how all this bed leveling stuff really works (worked it out 2 years ago and then forgot) and now I'm hesitant to start changing stuff and risk screwing up my otherwise perfectly serviceable setup.

Can somebody point me to what value(s) I need to adjust to lower the nozzle by 0.85 mm ?

Thanks in advance!

Here are my config files:

Hi ! I know you've solved the problem you initially asked about. I'm wondering it you could give my some info on how tricky putting a Duet board on a WASP delta was? I have a WASP 60100 (build 2017) and would love to upgrade it with a Duetboard and maybe a E3D Volcano hotend. But, I'm not really sure what I'm getting myself into Would you mind me asking a couple of newbie questions about your process?

Thanks for the tip and the chat - I've responded to T3P3Tony.

How do I contact the administrator for this forum directly? I have a legitimate question that I don't want to post in a forum! Is there an email I can use?
