Haven't used my RRF printer in a few months due to it not printing as well as the Qidi. I saw this post and decided to dust off the Jubilee and load up 3.6 alpha and give it a go. I only have a few prints in but see a big improvement in print quality over the 3.5 version it replaced. So far not having an issues but have only used a single tool. Will try to do a multi color this weekend.

@Herve_Smith
You consider the prices to be an issue?
The money I spend on hardware is dwarfed by the money I spend on filament.

Toolboards are primarily made for tool changer setups, so multiply your cost difference by the number of toolheads. I'm currently building a tool changer, and each toolhead is going to run me close to $400. At some point, cost becomes a favor. When my toolhead alone is over double the cost of an ender 3 you have to take a step back and reevaluate.
I run RRF-36's on my toolchanger and wish I set it up that way sooner.

RE: Fly-RRF-36 RP2040 Based CAN-FD Toolboardposted in Other control boards
Have (4) paired with a Duet 3 6hc running on a toolchanger. I’m a little worried about heat with the board being covered but a o far no real issues and on board temps stay under 60C. My cover is as follows…

@edsped I'll try lowering the L value to the default .25 and test again but it may take a couple of hours.

RE: Fly-RRF-36 RP2040 Based CAN-FD Toolboardposted in Other control boards
As an aside, I pulled the cover off after a 2 1/2 hour print last night and did the finger test for temps and nothing was above luke warm. I know it's not very scientific but it helped with some of my heat concerns.

RE: Z-axis / tramming issues with 3.6.0-alpha2+3posted in Beta Firmware
Been printing on and off for several prints and knock on wood haven't had any tramming issues. Print quality is also very much improved over 3.52. Looking forward to further improvements.

RE: Software bundle 3.6.0-beta.1 now availableposted in Beta Firmware
A few prints in and it seems as if adding the M400 to cancel.g addressed the issue. I guess I haven't been cancelling prints on the alpha.. Otherwise all seems to be working as expected.

RE: Software bundle 3.6.0-beta.1 now availableposted in Beta Firmware
I didn't have an M400 command after the tool park in my cancel.g file so that may be the culprit. I'll add it and retry but it won't be until tomorrow.

RE: Software bundle 3.6.0-beta.1 now availableposted in Beta Firmware
@dc42 I'm not sure what's changed between the last alpha and the current beta but the Jubilee is once again dropping tools even with the M400's...
edit: on a side note it primarily appears to happen after I cancel a print and it parks the tool. At this point I'm reverting to the alpha 5 as it's been pretty solid.

RE: RepRapFirmware 3.6.0-alpha.4+3 available for testingposted in Beta Firmware
Day 3 without any tool drops so I'm going to say inserting M400 prior to tool lock/unlock macros is working. Out of curiosity, will this be addressed in the final release or will the M400 always be required? It won't matter much for me as I'll likely forget to remove it when the 3.6 is released but I am curious.

RE: RepRapFirmware 3.6.0-alpha.4+3 available for testingposted in Beta Firmware
A quickie follow up, several prints, maybe 50'ish tool changes and no issues. It appears as if the M400 is helping.

RE: RepRapFirmware 3.6.0-alpha.4+3 available for testingposted in Beta Firmware
Will try the M400 commands and if they don't help, I'll disable IS at start of tool change and re-enable it after tool is picked up.
Thanks for the assistance

RE: RepRapFirmware 3.6.0-alpha.4+3 available for testingposted in Beta Firmware
@dc42 I added M400 prior to macro calls for lock and unlock and stuck one in the macro as well... Following are the macros if that helps and a couple of pictures showing the pin when a failure occurs.. Pin should be horizontal when unlocked and stop should be at the limit switch, when there's a tool drop the stepper never reaches the limit switch...

RE: RepRapFirmware 3.6.0-alpha.4+3 available for testingposted in Beta Firmware
@dc42 One thing that is consistent when there's a tool drop is that the locking pin isn't fully rotated to the lock or unlock position which initially had me thinking there was mechanical binding. I'll stick an M400 before the call to the tool lock/unlock macro to see if that helps. I've reduced my tool change speeds by about 60% to see if that helped and it made no difference, but I'll leave them low until I figure out why I'm not getting proper tool engagement.

RE: RepRapFirmware 3.6.0-alpha.4+3 available for testingposted in Beta Firmware
@o_lampe I've lowered tool change speeds to see if that helped and it didn't. Initially my rationale for high speeds was to minimize ooze in an effort to eliminate the need for a wipe tower. It didn't work and I never lowered them but have more than halved them the past few days...
