Amen.

It is showing default for a second extruder except for the current, that's the point I'm making. But, when I see something change with it i.e. the current, it would lead me to believe there is a bug or something that needs cleaned up.

So for me, I don't have a U, but drive 4's current matches drive 2s current as it should as it is mapped Z2:4, but none of the other values do corresponding to that drive. I would expect drive 4 to be a mirror image of drive 2.

It is if you really follow it, in my example, it maps the drive current to that field. just nothing else. My Z axis is 2:4, so if it is truly just axis based, then the current shouldn't update, if it is drive number it should match, but it shouldn't be a combination of both. Maybe the web control should be updated to only include configured Axis.

0 No 0 mm 224 mm 15 mm/s 100 mm/s 1500 mm/s² 1200 mA
1 No -22 mm 202 mm 15 mm/s 100 mm/s 1500 mm/s² 1200 mA
2 No 0 mm 180 mm 1.67 mm/s 20 mm/s 300 mm/s² 450 mA
3 Yes n/a n/a 110 mm/s 36.67 mm/s 600 mm/s² 1350 mA
4 Yes n/a n/a 2 mm/s 20 mm/s 250 mm/s² 450 mA

This was the same thing I reported. the acceleration settings or other bits don't show up correctly.

I am using 1.20. David, 2:4 are my axis. It displays the current correctly, just nothing else. I don’t use the info for anything, just figure it would pull setting for what was mapped for those drive positions.

Was worth a shot, but a no go.

it certainly was unexpected! Now, what about the settings tab issue?

No, it was all removed after I learned about E3. I've posted the entire config below sans wifi setup

I mean the other properties of the same axis should match i.e. accelerations, speeds, current is about the only thing that matches.

M584 X0 Y1 Z2:4 E3. DWC shows the current right now, but there are still an issue in how it displays it, as you can see, 2:4 should match but they don't. The current/motor heating issue is solved.

0 Yes 0 mm 224 mm 15 mm/s 100 mm/s 1500 mm/s² 1200 mA
1 No -22 mm 202 mm 15 mm/s 100 mm/s 1500 mm/s² 1200 mA

4 Yes n/a n/a 2 mm/s 20 mm/s 250 mm/s² 350 mA

Like I said, I couldn't figure out the current draw/motor heating up issue, that's when I tried using U, it has sense been removed once I found the issue was rectified by using E3 on the M584. Parts of it just didn't make sense that without the E3, that it shows my 350ma setting in the second extruder position.

Motor current (mA) - X:1200, Y:1200, Z:350, U:350, E:1250:350:1250:1250:1250:1250:1250:1250, idle factor 60%

Well, defining the mapping for the first extruder seems to make it all work right. So now, big question, do I need to define U? or using M906 Z350:350 take care of it?

M906
Motor current (mA) - X:1200, Y:1200, Z:350, U:350, E:1250, idle factor 60%

I am having an issue with the remapped port for my second Z axis not obeying current settings. The motor gets screaming hot! The interesting thing is, in the gcode console reports it as being 1250 for U right after boot using the below config file. However, if I issue M906 U350, it will then report it as being whatever I set it to. Please help! I originally didn't have anything defined for U and wasn't using it as such, I thought I could just remap the second motor and still use it as Z, everything worked, however this current thing existed before I went and tried U.

Where can someone get the duet filament monitor?

Got it. Thanks for the quick response!

I'm having an issue enabling volumetric extrusion using slic3r, I've added a M200 D1.78 as you will see below, but once the print start and I issue a M200 in the console, it says it's not enabled. If I go ahead and manually input M200 D1.78 it proceeds to take that.

Take a look at your delta radius, seems awfully large, like twice what it should be. Do an image search on google for a picture of how to measure.

Charles

Thanks David! Adding more to this! Also, a current XYZ location indicator would be awesome on the move screen.

Charles

I completely agree.
