@Phaedrux I got my hand on a new Bltouch...
can I use it or should I replace my board?

@phaedrux I am using 24V on my printer but my NPN says 12-24v...
Also using the version:
Firmware Version: 2.02(RTOS) (2018-12-24b1)
WiFi Server Version: 1.26
Web Interface Version: 1.22.6

@phaedrux I am using 24V

An accident occurred
I had visit last weekend and some one accidently unplugged my NPN and re-plugged it backwards (Current went directly in the Z-Probe pin).
Roughly something blew up and my Z-Probe is now always triggered.

I am using a Duet Wifi 2 and I wanted to know if I could use any other pin as a Z-Probe pin and also if I can what code would I have to change in my config file.

Thanks you

I own a home built CoreXY with a DuetWifi

Recently I noticed that when I home X or Y, after it homed, my carriage move more on the X Axis.
When I home All it works great.
Also when I finish a print it homes to -2.5mm on the X-Axis.
I honestly do not know what causes this.
Here is my HomeX:

Thanks you

I modified my CoreXY to have light CNC tool , I used it for a PCB project last year.
I am using it on a Duet Wifi.

Thanks you for the link

My son asked me to mill something, time is an issue and I do not have the time to learn about CNC programming and different types of GCodes...
Is there a simple way to convert an STL into GCodes compatible with our board?

Thanks

@fickert You may want to put some diagonal bracing on the side to keep the printer from twisting. On my corexy i made, I drilled access holes and tapped the extrusion ends to screw them together to not use any angle brackets.

I did think about this. Probably not a bad call at all. I was even thinking of doing some diagnal cable bracing as an alternative. Similar to pull barn structuring. Figure it's something I can add down the line.

I was wondering if you considered building an enclosure?
It would help for printing specific materials, strengthen your frame and keep it from bending and twisting.

I do not know if this is the case, but I had this happenning to me a few months ago.

I found out that my BLTouch wire were damaged. The BLTouch would "reset" and deploys like when turned on.

IMO, you might have a damaged wire or possibly problem with your connectors.

I hope this helps.

Did you set you Z by "Home Z" or do you adjust with a piece of paper and G92 Z0?

I might be wrong but if your home Z and your offset isn't setup, that could cause the issue if before running M92 you your whole M92 should be off.

I will explain, if you home with your probe and your 0 is really 3mm, you then home with a piece of trigger and fix the difference but that will cause that when you run M92 and your probe triggers, they will assume that your are always minimun 3mm off...

Yes, I can see the light and I changed the aluminum heater block because I broke it...
I over tight the nozzle and heatbreak and ripped the threadout...
thought that steel would be more viable for me.

I have been printing for about a year and I am now getting, for the 1st time a repetitive clog...
I clean it, works good for 1 minutes and then clog...

Change that I have applied before the clogging started:

• Upgraded from Duet 0.8.5 to Wifi
• Changed E3d V6 aluminum heater block to stainless steel heater bllock

But everything was working... until the 1st clog

Here is what I tried... I cold plugged it, I torched it (nozzle and heat break), I changed my nozzle, the compound on the heat break and a new spool... I am running out of idea.

Here are some pictures, I noticed that there seem to be a straw like filament residue...

Thank you for any assistance

*Edit, resize images

Perfect,
Thanks to both of you, have a great day!

I am looking do my Orthogonal Axis Compensation but the link that I have doesn't seem to work anymore...
Orthogonal_Axis_Compensation
Anyone knows where I could download the file to be printed?

Thanks

Apparently there was a contact between the wires and my printer doesn't connect anymore (web control).

Is my board finished or is there some hope?

Not sure where you are in the process of fixing your BLTouch...
I have been away for a while but I had, when I started a similar situation with a BLTouch.
Red background in web controller

I used these in my Config.g
M558 P1 X0 Y0 Z1 H5 F100 T2000
G31 X30 Y18 Z1 P200 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height

I also needed to use Replace M401 by M98 Pdeployprobe.g and M402 by M98 Pretractprobe.g

Possibly, but try M21, that would initialize the SD card.
It happenned to me a few times and that usually work.

Tried these...

Turn off
M106 P1 T45 S1 H1 ; If at room temp should stop
M106 P1 S0 H-1
M107 P1

Dim
M106 P1 S1 H-1 ; and comparing to
M106 P1 S0.2 H-1

M106 P1 S255 H-1 ; and comparing to
M106 P1 S5 H-1

I also tried a few frequency.

I also tried to modify the Fan control on the Web controller, I did not see a difference.

ATM I am just trying to make react any fan. I have the 24V heatsink fans for the E3D V6 and Titan Aero, do they require specific frequency?

My apologies, I applied the correction but the fans remain always on...
I still haven't found a way to dim significantly or to turn off the Fans 0 or 1.
