Hi,
my machines are still on firmware 2.05
I would like to update them to the latest version.

• Do I need to rewrite all the config files ?
• Is it possible to use the old bed leveling file on the new firmware ?

Hi
on one machine the magnetic filament sensor is giving me "too little movment" every around 30 min.

For testing purpose I excluded the hotend by connecting the filament ends to make a loop so the same 1 meter of filament is going in and out forever.

Wondering if the magnetic filament sensor cables are prone to interferences as my cabling are 3 meters long and its a bundle of everything going to the hotend.

are interferences something to look at ?

During printing:

M591 D0
Duet3D magnetic filament monitor on input 3, enabled, sensitivity 25.86mm/rev, allow 70% to 130%, check every 3.0mm, version 4, mag 133 agc 51, measured sensitivity 26.04mm/rev, min 93% max 107% over 2541.5mm

After error:

M591 D0
Duet3D magnetic filament monitor on input 3, enabled, sensitivity 25.86mm/rev, allow 70% to 130%, check every 3.0mm, version 4, mag 132 agc 51, measured sensitivity 26.02mm/rev, min 50% max 122% over 4302.9mm

@paboman I don't see any issues there.
You could try adding an M561 before the first G91
Have you made any changes like update the firmware or anything?

last update was 2 years ago
I am running on Firmware: 2.05.1 - Web Interface:1.21.1

@jay_s_uk said in datum was not determined probing:

@paboman thats one massive delta.
when are you loading the heightmap?

yes, and its 4 year old now. worked good until now.

I load the heightmap in the Homedelta.g

@paboman no, it doesn't. how do you home the bed?

its a delta, I home the printhead with G28

@jay_s_uk said in datum was not determined probing:

@paboman reprobe the bed height (i.e. home it) before loading the heightmap

I cant reprobe the bed it as i dont have the probe anymore.

it was working until today....does the heightmap have an expiration date ??

what this error mean ?

I need to edit a standard but very long Gcode from Simplify3D and get a new Gcode with all G1 Z set to 100 for testing purpose.

I am trying with sublime text editor to find Z and replace with Z100 but when the program find Z4 it then becomes z1004.

thx!

thx !

@Veti
thx!

@bot not yet but thank you for the input !

@Blacksheep99
does Maestro have a voltage converter ? So can I drive the system with 24 v and cooling fan with 5 to 24v ?

ok , thx!

@jay_s_uk said in Best way to 12v fan on 24v system:

duet 3 boards allow you to set the fan output voltage to either 12v or 24v.
older boards will need a stepdown/buck converter

thx, for now I have an older duet system

What is the best way to use a 12v cooling fan (no pwm) on a 24v duet system ?

Do I really need stepdown converter ?

I ask beacuse good quality 30x30 fans (Sunon and RS pro) are available in 12 and 5 volts only.

BTW if you know any vendor of 30x30x10 24v fan with at least 5CFM of airflow let me know please

thx!

ERRATA CORRIGE

config-override.g is loaded on startup as expected but not the printer name.

I was expecting to see also the machine name M550 changing but this command is not saved by M500.

any workaround ?

I have M501 at the end of config.g this is why I am expecting to see config-override.g loaded on startup.

Unfortunatelly config-override.g is not loading automatically on startup, trying to understand what I am doing wrong.

@dc42 can you help me please ?
