This needs a little updating (on my to-do list!) but is good guide to get started.

Raster clustering, which speeds up raster engraving, is supported in RRF 3.5.0-beta3 and later. Lightburn supports this, I don't know if other laser gcode generation software does. RRF also supports G2 and G3 arcs in laser mode, though Lightburn doesn't!.

DWC on Computer Screen RESET MACHiNE from Emergency Stop

@deckingman
Going back to the toolplate bed, I'm going to use the following connector mounted to the bed frame. The idea being that I can disconnect the cables so I can remove the bed (the printer will be in a cupboard, tight on space, so less weight with moving the frame in and out).
Nampn9R4Q8K%G%dD7%2z2g.jpg
Being that this is now a Mains 240Vac bed heater, and I have spare pins on the connector, I'm thinking on the grounds of safety and running some kind of signal loop (5/12v on a relay), so when the connector is disconnected, the break in the (5/12v) signal loop will disconnect the mains with the relay (if I've not already done so), so there is no loose Live Mains cable floating around.
At the moment I have a1 SSR controlling the 240Vac mains bed switched directly by the 24v O/P from the Duet 6HC.
So I'm looking for ideas.
Should I use a mechanical relay in series with the mains from the SSR, or is there a good chance this will weld closed?
Use another SSR, again in series with the switched mains;

Hi Ian,

Thank you for your advice. I'm most grateful.

Hi Mark,

Glad to help and actually contribute for a change.

Are either of you moderators, or can put the Gates Timing Belt info in a file somewhere, where everyone can access it easily from the forum main page or something?
I think most users of the forum use Gates belts (or similar), so could be very handy for others.

Thanks again,

Dizzwold.

@jay_s_uk

Thank you for your reply.

@jay_s_uk said in Last Print Duration and Deleted Job Files?:

And no, its held in the object model until a reboot or the next print

That's a shame. Even with all the soundproofing I've installed my neighbour claims the printer kept him up all night one day last week even though the printer was running 24/7 all week.
I just wanted to check the speed settings of printed items (now removed/deleted), from when he said he couldn't hear the printer.
My soundproofing can be seen in the following thread;
https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/33985/change-print-speed-duringprint/7?_=1698840269420

That sure could do it. It wouldn't be using any of your other settings, only the bottom layer settings all the way up.

@fcwilt ,

Mmm, Lamb Tagine

@Phaedrux ,

Thank you for that. I'll read up on this.

@infiniteloop You still miss the point. The DC UPS is just that - the (7Ah) batteries only cut in when mains power fails and will keep the machine running for over an hour. I never said that I use a 2Amp power supply. In fact I still use the much larger (Meanwell) DIN rail mounted supply that I used when the machine had 7 axes (CoreXYUVAB) and 6 extruders and a two zone hot end with two 80 Watt heaters. My point remains that most people over estimate the power requirements of their machines and waste money buying an over-specified PSU. For sure, leave some head room for future expansion, for sure use a quality PSU, but one that is capable of supplying 4,6,8 or 10 times the required power is a waste of money and can be dangerous because it might not trip if a fault on the machine develops.

@jay_s_uk @jens55 @Herve_Smith

Yes, Multiple threads from the same person and I thought it was working correctly.
I've had to remove my printer from it's enclosure (as it were), disconnect everything, so I could work inside the enclosure. I needed to quickly print a few items for inside the enclosure before I can put everything back (not realising I need to print anything before removing it all). So I've connected it all back together on my work bench.
The part cooling fan was on 100% and wouldn't turn off, the tool heater couldn't be found, machine reset, all to name a few issues when I switched it on.
I isolated this to my emergency stop button that was basically putting the printer into a constant emergency stop.
Don't ask me why, it just did, when it worked fine before???

Yep following the guide below states to use 3.3v and ioxin, not ioxin and gnd.
https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/IO_E_stop

I'll give the ioxin and gnd a try tomorrow.

Thanks guys for your advice.

@Dizzwold you need to connect the button between the ioX.in and ground pins, not between ioX.in and +3.3V.

@Phaedrux @chrishamm

I've just updated to 3.4.6.

M401 and M402 now work as they should.

When I type M98 P"config.g" I still get the following response and have to manually press stop on the paneldue;
Connection lost, attempting to reconnect...

Maybe this is a bug similar to the following thread;

Sorry, but the issue still persists?

I'd just made some changes to my config.g and clicked Run Config File.

If I click Restart MainBoard there's no problem?

@Maestro

Thank you for taking the time to check this over. I'm most grateful.

Here's where I'm at currently with the bed, where the Earth cables for the bed frame and 3mm safety plate are loose. The cable running around the inner perimeter of the heat mat is the lead coming from the heater, to the TCO. I had thought about cutting this down, but then thought to just stick it in-place.

I've also got some of that aluminium foil/closed cell foam of various thicknesses that I can also add, to sandwich between the heater and safety sheet if want.

Thank you again for you time and input.

@droftarts

Hi Ian,

Okay, that make sense.

I'll give it a go when I tinker some more.

Thank you for the detailed reply.

Dizzwold.

@droftarts

Okay, Thank you Ian.

@droftarts @Phaedrux

I've finally found the cause of the issue.

When I installed my new router, around the same time my Iphone did an update.

So I had a look around on my Iphone, Settings, Security, Safari, and found that some settings weren't as they were or how I thought they should have been.

So I started tinkering around with some of these settings. Under Privacy and Security I found that "Prevent Cross-site Tracking", and "Block all Cookies", where both enabled.

With disabling these 2 settings, Wham bam thank you ma'am, Iphone is presenting the full ios DWC and it now appears in my routers client list.

How the heck was my iphone stopping the duet appearing on the router?

Surely having these 2 settings enabled on my iphone is just for the iphones security, not my router or network?

Anyway, it's now working and hope this may help others.

Thank you for your help.

@Phaedrux

Ah, Okay...

It's not been used for around 3 weeks and the cupboard I keep it in (my printer cupboard), is usually around 15˚c if its door is left closed and not in use (possibly lower than that overnight). It's a double wall to the outside, but a very small cavity, so I've studded this with Rockwool, soundproof plaster board and Tecsound mass loaded vinyl sound proof membrane. Yes you could say this is cold, but it's not damp.

The SD card has been left in the board untouched, not nocked or moved in anyway until last Saturday 25/2/23 when I had the issues.

I'll have to take the board of it's mounting to look and take some pictures of the SD card readers solder joints, and the reader itself.

Like I say, it all of a sudden sprang back into life and I've ran a 10 hour print today with no issues?

@mrehorstdmd

Thank you for quoting LibreOffice, I've got it up and running now (on my Mac).

@Dizzwold said in DWC G32 Dual Leadscrews:

What I don't get is in the following, if the right-hand side of the bed/leadscrew is at 0.001 why has the unit decided to move that leadscrew 0.128

The 0.001 is the deviation of the measured points (the mean of them is -0.128),not the measurement at the second point.
