Hey guys,

so I managed to calibrate the extruder and to create the mesh grid successfully. I can finally see progress with this upgrade (thanks to you!). I'm still waiting for the cables to arrive and finally close the case with all the wiring appropriately.
Is there anything specific that I should add to the configurations?
I've noticed that I can set the amount of amps to each motor, should I modify this or just leave it as 800 800 900?

thanks!
Didi

@alankilian Thank you very much! I'll try it this weekend and update!

@alankilian "Use P2 in your M591 commands" didn't quite understand that part. so I'm assuming I need to edit the main config file, right?
to set the endstop as a sensor? (Would it display an error message while a jam or runout detected?)

@alankilian Of course, it's this one:

I think that's the best option I've printed, tried many other with optical sensor, the concept was nice but the actual thing wasn't

Hey guys,

Another quick question please
I have a filament sensor with two simple roller switches (one for the filament and the other for jam). I was looking for the documentation on how to connect it to the board but I'm a bit confused.
I only have two wires from the sensors, and in the documntation they mention an optical sensor which uses 3 (with the 3.3v which it my case I don't have).
so should I just connect it to the ground and signal? any additional configuration needed?
this is the wiring for the sensor (it's from a thingiverse project):

and this is the documentation I was refering to: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet3dFilamentMonitor_LaserVersion

Didi

@Phaedrux Thanks!!

Hi guys,

long time
I have a quick question if I may.
I became pretty familiar with 3d printing by now, all thanks to you!
I was wondering if there is a more efficient way for me to perform bed leveling instead of doing it manually?
is there a script that can move the motor to few places and then I just swipe the paper?
or is there a better way to do so?
and is it still necessary even though I'm using BLtouch? isn't it compensating the height differences already?

Thanks!

@Phaedrux Thanks!

@Veti
I was researching a bit on the two (the ranout and jam) so the extruder you mentioned supposed to alert me whenever a jam has occurred?
I had an issue with the spooler getting tangled and messed up the print, so I was thinking about to do something with optical sensor to detect if there isn't any filament motion going on, are you using a similar solution? do you even get tanglement issues while printing from time to time?

Hey guys,

quick question, I had few prints ruined because of filament jam and runout. is there a simple solution to monitor that and pause the print so I can fix it instead of losing time and prints?

thanks!

@resam You're right, not it appears under the printer's settings. Thanks!
