@jujudelta said in Fine editor for working with Duet boards:
Intel's Aedit running on MS-DOS was the best!
8" floppies, MCS-51 Dev system on wheels the size of a fridge.
And before that punched tape and cards!
You didn't run programs, you submitted them as a batch file overnight, to then find out you made a typo!
You "Younglings" are spoilt
Sneaking in a batch of cards to print KISS's logo a few dozen times to give to friends!
Good deal! You are most welcome!
This is how I have done it in the past with a Duet board.
For those who may find it useful, I found that Kodak brand ABS (for the black at least) prints with even more shine than Sainsmart!
My stash of Sainsmart black ABS has ran out and no longer available it seems, even straight from them. Except for an old roll of Hatchbox, no other brand I have tried in the last couple years printed with a shiny surface. Anyway, long story short, does anyone have a lead on Black 1.75mm ABS that prints well and leaves a shiny surface?
Thanks
Are you wanting to configure a connection so the Duet can act like/as a network/workgroup drive/resource? Like for drag and drop file movement?
@Surgikill I hear ya. Tinkering can lead to your hands/fingers lookin' like ya washed 'em with barbed wire.
Congrats!! Nice to get the payoff for hard work!! Not sure which I like better, the print or the production!!
That can happen with an outdated or misconfigured web browser. Like IE 11 for example. I use Firefox to open the site and it runs the scripts perfectly.
Great info @dc42 . With this stuff, finding out what to do is half the fun!
Most discusions I had read seemed to believe that series was better at keeping equal current to the motors and that that would be better for tourque. Actually what led me to the Duet board 6 months ago, was from this reading and it having a dual Z series connection already onboard, since with the first printer I built, I knew I wanted dual Z motors. So, since it looks like the board usese the same drivers for all, then it should be able to handle dual motors on all connections and series wired and be perfect for this concept and this is just what I chose to do. Ramble mode off...
There seemed to be 3 mindsets on this: series is better, parallel is better and both are good depending on your particular situation.
I actually have no pure technical advice on this, it's just what I felt was good for me.
@snowcrash I appreciate those words and that is the way I feel toward others and their undertakings as well! 
The stepper pairs are just wired in series and out of phase, with one pair connected to the X driver and the other pair connected to the Y driver, using splitter adapters I made up from some extension cables I had sitting around.
Below is this project's stepper wiring diagram.
I don't care what it's slingin', that sucker is fun to watch!
Wow. Does no one have any fun with 3D printing/printers, everything has to be really technical?
A fun little test... Video here: (3x normal speed) https://vimeo.com/275442255
I have a ton of parts coming and will begin in earnest, next week, building this machine's bigger better brother with an expected buld volume of ~ 440 x 340 x 300.
BTW, things like below are what I really enjoy working up and printing. Art does not have to be precise, only well received by the eye and keeps stress levels down over things like a print being off by a half mil. on an axis.
Cheers and stay tuned!
Good work, like a Surgeon, Baybee! The vid was most enjoyable, but lose the watch, ring and long sleeve shirt. LOL!
Cheers!
Here goes...
The bearings in the carriage are brass and graphite.
Honestly, holding a finger to the carriage while doing an air print, I could feel no more vibrations than on my Ulitmaker clone Creatbot.
I'm probably going to keep this as a test bed and start another one with atleast a 400 x 300 build area. This one could do 280 x 280 but I never intended to complete it.
LMAO at Phaedrux !!!
I know that non rotating rods would be proper, but connected this way should keep the motors in sync and square.
It is dead silent compared to the over the top crappy drivers in my Creatbot.
The design is not wasting space. There was no previous assumption of how much it would have.
I don't know, I have not noted any vibrations or binding, so, the couplers seem to be centered.
If I put the motors on the outside, the frame would swing wildly about, it would be hello to fashion an enclosure for ABS printing and the output shafts would not be where they need to be.
My ideas and my design of what I feel to be the most simple, uncluttered/uncomplicated clean and unique take on the Ultimaker style gantry. I humbly submit, The CoffeeMaker Concept.

Without even a tiny bit of tweaking, the movement of this concept is ROCK SOLID!
Congrats!! That is some damn fine work, all the way around!!!
