And just for reference here is the tools and fans

; Fans
;M106 P0 S0 I0 F500 H-1 ; Set fan 0 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off
M106 P2 S1 I0 F500 H1 T55 ; Set fan 1 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned on
M106 P0 S0 I0 F500 H-1 ; Set fan 0 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off
M106 P1 S0 I0 F500 H-1 ; Set fan 0 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off

; Tools
M563 P0 D0 H1 F0:1 ; Define tool 0
G10 P0 X0 Y0 Z0 ; Set tool 0 axis offsets
G10 P0 R0 S0 ; Set initial tool 0 active and standby temperatures to 0C

I just tried this as I have 2 fans and only one tool My line is this

M563 P0 D0 H1 F0:1

But only fan 0 works. If I manually select fan 2 it runs fine.

Thank you sir

Grasping at straws here, but is there a reason you've chosen 32 microstepping as opposed to 16 with interpolation to 256?

I just saw this.
"Grasping at straws here, but is there a reason you've chosen 32 microstepping as opposed to 16 with interpolation to 256?"

Can you tell me how to do this?

Yes sir, All of that (PID, Extrusion, ETC...) was done. I will leave bed.g as the entire frame, bed frame too is printed so I may need to change to G31 instead of G29 S1 in my script. If you would like to see the printer I have the entire build on YT. Kuntry3D on YT let me know what you think. I had to re-flow the solder for the main DC power in on the Duet this morning as that was what was causing my failures due to voltage inconsistencies. Once I fxed that my voltage is steady and everything is now sorted. Thank you for all of your help, you have been very patient with me and my questions.

@phaedrux said in Have to restart for first layer to be correct:

G90 ; absolute positioning
G30 ; probe the bed
G1 Z5 F100 S2 ; uncomment this line to lift the nozzle after homing

Just FYI, I had to kill the print so I restarted with the files removed and now all of the things work as they should, G30 and G29. I will let you know progress. And thanks again.

Retract

G1 X-59 Y66 Z35 ; move over the post

G1 Z35 F10000 ; raise head again
G1 X0 Y0 ; move to somewhere sensible

G1 S2 X-3 Y-3 Z-3 ; move all carriages down 3mm
G1 S1 X6 Y6 Z6 F250 ; move carriages slowly up 6mm, stopping at the endstops
G1 Z-5 F2000 ; down a few mm so that we can centre the head
G90 ; back to absolute positioning
G1 X0 Y0 F2000 ; centre the head and set a reasonable feed rate

Ok, I will get those out tomorrow and test again. I am printing again. Hopefully this one will finish, I am having a problem with this thing breaking off small hollow columns. Several hours into prints it will break a necessary part off and then I quit. This print has none of that so I will let you know. Again, thank you for all your help.

I must have missed that question. Yes they are there, I thought they were there just because they are needed. I also have homedelta.g. I used the configurator online and these are the files it gave me so I thought they were needed.

Tomorrow sometime I can video exactly what it is doing and send you a private link to view it if that is an option. It may be helpful vs just the config files to actually see what is happening.

Yes. It does like a triangle in x and y then probes and then tries to exit the printable area and then parks at the front of the bed.

It's better but still not perfect. I tried a G30 from the center of the bed and it skips a little at first run to the edges then when it's finished all hell breaks loose. I am at a loss right now.

I will change that now and let you know when this print finishes if it makes a difference.

Yes, that is correct. 0,0 front left and home is to 0,300 back left. Here are the configs5_1530817551612_homez.g 4_1530817551612_homey.g 3_1530817551611_homex.g 2_1530817551611_homeall.g 1_1530817551610_config.g 0_1530817551609_bed.g

Again, I will have to try that later. Another long print running. I have not ran it from center, only from the home position. And no, the only macro I have added to the default is a resume with homing after power failure.

Ok, Homing all sorted, but when I run G30 I still get the head trying to go outside of the bed. So I am still using my own way to get the print to work. Any Ideas on that?

I can see that with just the little I have played with this, I can see upgrades for some other machines I have around here. Again, Thank you.

Thank you for all of your help. I will have to try that tomorrow as I just started a 6 hour print and it is almost midnight here. Duet sponsored this build for ERRF2018 and I had it printing but I want it right. I have a 3D Printed Hypercube EVO. Right now it is producing great prints but just the little things I don't know about the firmware configs is being a pain. Again, I will try tomorrow and update this thread.

Well it's probably something that someone has asked several times but I haven't been able to find. First off the solution you gave doesn't work for me and I think it is the way I have my homing setup. Currently I home at the back left and have that as 0,0. I need to move the 0,0 and make the back left 0,300. I cannot find a way to do this. When I try your method for homeall and homez the head tries to move outside the print area and it is grinding the belts and crashing.

The way I got my trigger height was

1. Home
2. M208 S1 Z-3
3. G92 Z0
4. move down until I got my paper feel that I like
5. set the trigger height to a positive value of the negative from above

It is perfect. I have a couple of more config questions as this is my first Duet. Should I continue here or move to a new thread?
