Hello All.

Hoping you guys have some answers...cause I can't find a solution!

Let's start with the printer...all genuine parts...no clones.
CoreXY with Linear Rails (heavy modded Tronxy x5s)
Titan Direct Drive
E3D Volcano .4/.8
BLTouch
Duet Wifi w/ PanelDue 7 running 3.1.1

About a year and a half ago when I first put it all together...this printer made some great looking parts. Round objects that you'd be hard-pressed to find the seem. No zits. Near perfection.

Unfortunately...things have deteriorated a lot since. Zits. Blobs. Major gaps at the start of a line is biggest issue though . It's like the extruder motor doesn't kick in at the right time, but waits a few millimeters. I've tried Cura and Simplify3D with countless setting changes...all with similar results. Replaced the extruder wiring. Unbundled the extruder wiring from the rest thinking it might be noise from another component. Swapped the extruder motor. Lastest firmware on the Duet (truly hoped that would solve it). Used the latest configurator. Moved to the second extruder port on the board. The only thing I haven't touched is the Titan extruder and the Duet board itself. What am I possibly missing. Is there a bit of gcode stuck some where?

I'm hoping you guys have some things to try. What else do you need from me? Config?

Thanks.

Thank you all...got it sorted.

So I am able to connect to my wireless network. The issue is that the unit aways picks up a DHCP address and not the static IP I have configured.

Here is my configuration...
; Network
M550 P"Tronxy x5s" ; Set machine name
M551 P"xxxxxxxxx" ; Set password
M552 S1 ; Enable network
M587 S"xxxxxxxxxx" P"xxxxxxxxxx" I192.168.0.229 J192.168.0.1 K255.255.255.0 ; Configure access point and IP addresses. You can delete this line once connected
M586 P0 S1 ; Enable HTTP
M586 P1 S1 ; Enable FTP
M586 P2 S1 ; Enable Telnet

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks for the additional tips but still no luck. Looks like a warranty exchange is in my future.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, not much has changed.

If I press Erase and then Reset, a Bossa port shows up in Device Manager. I am then able to upload and verify a firmware using the Bossa utility. After that, if a disconnect the USB cable or press the Reset button, the port goes away but does not return until I press Erase and Reset again. The screen never displays as it should. Any other things to try?

First one had a yellow tint issue. Replacement showed up at the beginning of December and I'm just now getting around to getting my Duet Wifi configured over the last few days. Anyway...initially it worked great with no issue. Earlier tonight was no different, the screen was working just fine. I know the screen will dim a bit after a certain amount of time and I thought this was no different. I touched the screen, heard a few beeps but the screen never came back on. Power cycled the Duet but there was no change in the i7's screen function. This time however, there were no beeps when touching the screen.

I have tried both ways of connecting the i7 to the Duet. The 4 wire and ten pin ribbon cable. No difference. When plugging the screen into a USB cable connected to my computer causes the computer to ding...as if something new got connected. The Bossa program is able to connect to the board...so it appears to be alive...at least somewhat.

Any thoughts on things to try? Is there a way to do a reset on this thing?

Regards,

Jason

Thank you!

Do you have a link? Searched high and low and can't find anything referencing colour gradients.

In the meantime I thought I'd share what the screen actually looks like.

Got my Duet WiFi and PanelDue 7i yesterday. Hooked it up with the supplied 4 pin cable and a couple of 10 pin ribbon cables from my RAMPS setup and the screen is very yellow. Does it whether it's connected to the Duet or just powered via USB. Thoughts? Anyone seen this before? Bad board?
