Ever thought about putting all the hardware on top, just the tubes running down, so more clearance around the nozzle, using the 3 holes around the centerhole for mounting the hardware, keeping the balls at the designated spots?
In theory, you can also use this then to add a direct drive instead of using a bowden
Had the cf arms as well, I mean, I still have them, but I wanted to rebuild my second delta, but never happend... ...
so you could create a mount for the arms to the Smart Effector shouldn't be too complicated, if you need some help there let me know.
You have the Tricklaser Trucks?
But money is the problem ... got the point\
If you want an easy and cheap solution, go for the pressure sensors...
I'd say get one of the Smart Effectors... I do NOT believe it makes sense to include firmware support as just a very few people may use this piece of hardware.... (still have on in my box of parts I ripped out of different printers 
)
If it does not flash, it is either the wiring or the PCB.
I managed to screw one smart effector, was just a tiny spot on the PCB, looked like some 'dirt', was actually this was causing lot of trouble as I could not calibrate the printer. Was showing different results everytime....
Doublecheck the wires / crimps in worst case, redo them to be sure (on both ends).
When you tap the hotend while connected, does the LED flash?
Check for physical damage
Thanks for the reply.
I checked both of my config.g and the .gcode, as well as the additional starting script for the T0 and it was always there, not only in the config.g
I tried to put it into several places, had T-1 in the ending script, beginning of the start script a T-1 followed by a T0, just played around a bit.
When I use this sequence:
M140 S[bed0_temperature] ; get bed heating up
M116 H0 ;wait for bed heater
G10 P0 S[extruder0_temperature] R60 ; set extruder temp
M116 P0 ; and wait for extruder
T0 ; Activate Tool 0
It waits for the bed to heat up, then the tool becomes active, started heating and moving, not waiting until the hotend reached its temperature:
Warning: Tool 0 was not driven because its heater temperatures were not high enough or it has a heater fault
Even if I try the M116 without additional parameter, it does the same when I have the T0 after the heating section.
If I have the T0 before the section, every print which is not the first print after a reset waits forever.
I have multiple printers (not all Duet based), so I prefer to use my old way of working.
If this is a feature I have to deal with it, but maybe it is not ...
Hey,
I'm facing the problem, that sometimes after heating up, the printer just idles, doing nothing.
It is connected via Network and print is controlled via USB (Simplify3D).
The M117 command at the end of my starting script is seen in the Webinterface, but cannot recall to see it on the PanelDue.
Here is the starting code, the M122 and the config.g
Maybe another set of eyes can point me to a place...
I know in the heat up section, there is the M140 for the Bed followed by M116, then the G10 for the heater follower by another M116.
I want to have it in a sequence, not heating up in parallel.
I have the impression, with the old style code for setting the temperature (was it M190) it did not happen.
Enabling the 'Verbose Output' in Simplify3D after the printer idles does not show any output. M122 was run during the idle state, so at least there was a response from the Duet.

Just asking ... why is the idea of printed parts so bad in terms of accuracy?
Instead of calling G29 directly, using a Marco could be an option where you lower fan speed, do the G29, go back to full speed.... just an idea.
You can also do a retract of the filament if you want to feel safer while the bed is probed.
Reason for the fan (please correct me if I'm wrong) it to ensure that the filament does not melt in the upper part, but in the hotend itself
I mean, at least you can try ... sort of cheap ATX PSU just for troubleshooting.
Shorten PS_ON & GND, have an old HD Power connector connecting to VIN
Tried swapping the PSU? Sounds odd ... but apart from the Duet, this is the only piece which you didn't replace yet?
Start with removing all cables/wires, just let the ones connected which you need to control the Duet (if it is Wifi, even better) & power.
Just to make sure no other wire is creating a short (which isn't enough to blow a fuse but to have the PSU running in some sort of failsafe).
What is the Amperage on that line when the Voltage is dropping?
What is the resistance saying between the terminal the wire end attached to the power supply?
If there is a connection issue between the terminal and the cable this could give you a hint
