Haha thank you! 70lpm was just an example of one of the more powerful units. I certainly don't need that much through a berd air…it'd probably blow my effector up to my home switches! I would consider that unit for hotend cooling though, if I make a super heated chamber.

What's the best way to integrate this to my system I wonder. Can pumps be pwm? Is it possible to do some sorcery like hot to a power supply and negative to the duet and get pwm? Or get an ssr and hook it up like a bed?

@darookee:

@deckingman to prevent forgetting to run the macro I have come up with something for different filaments. I have this as my 'Load PETG'-macro:

M28 /sys/current_material.g M98 P/macros/Settings/PETG M29 /sys/current_material.g M98 P/sys/current_material.g

And the M98 again in my config.g wich runs the macro on every startup, but depending on which filament macro I ran before the actual macro is always the correct one.
This can be done with different parts of the configuration as well.

Ah OK. That would likely work for the OP but may be a little complicated for my purposes though, as there are very many differences between my 3 colour and 5 colour configurations. Thanks for the tip though - it looks like an elegant solution.

Are you saying that with your new effector, the green led doesn't flash if you give the nozzle a sharp tap upwards?

Could it be that there are metal parts in your assembly that are touching the components on the underside not the board?

@dc42:

Tim, do all E3D heater cartridges come with the Microfit connector now?

Nope, only the premium ones (available in 12v/30w or 24v/30w).

S6 generally gives good results, but you could try S8 to see if it improves the deviation.

Are you quite certain that the spirit level doesn't show any tilt at any of the probe points?

FYI I've just started extending the delta support to allow up to 6 towers, all with different "rod" lengths.

Thanks guys, ordered a few backups of the Wurth variety.

Thanks David!

@dc42:

The sensitivity is stored in EEPROM on the effector, and the effector has no way or reporting what its sensitivity is. That is why M672 is unable to report the current sensitivity.

Are you sure that M665/666 isn't returning values that are stored in config-override.g ?

I have the same issue 😞 , could M672 S105:aaa:bbb command at the end of config.g be a good alternative ?

@clearlynotstefan:

Two part post.

the wiki says to set the feed rate (which I assume is probing speed) to 1000. Has this been tested to be the optimal speed or are we just saying hey this works. It seems pretty quick compared to the speeds that got me optimal results with other systems.

what exactly is the deviation? My machine has metal corners and is pretty damn well built, my results are usually 0.044 deviation, usually consistently. I see other people posting 0.004 deviations. Does their machine print better? Are we all even after calibrating but their's just had fewer problems to calibrate out? Or does their lower result mean a better calibration? I'm currently using S9 calibration and it's working pretty well, I can print 300mm round at .2 but not at .1 should I be switching to like S4 calibration?

If it could help, I'm using S8, but change the probe speed down to 100 and sensitivity of the smart effector down to 20. With speed to 1000 and sensitivity to 50 I've encountered few issues to get a consistent Z0 after each calibration, even after using G30 S-1 to tune my G31 in config.g.

Currently my deviation is between 0.012 and 0.017.

Thanks!

Know anyone with a laser cutter? Could have them cut you some pieces from plexiglass.

You might need to increase the recovery time (R parameter) in the M558 command if the flying extruder tends to bounce around after a travel move, but other than that I can't see why it wouldn't work. A steady upwards pull will be ignored by the on board electronics and firmware. What it's looking for is a sudden change in the forces on the PCB.

@DADIY:

Thanks, I updated the fusion file. There's also a file for the carriage.

thanks again for your models, for now they seems to fit quite well ! next step adding connector and components maybe ? 🙂
