Thank you @dc42
@T3P3Tony yes thankfully I have my machine up and running. It is a Tronxy X5ST 500x500x600mm with a titan aero, bl touch and of course a duet wifi. Lot of hours being that I am new to this but happy with the result.

Thank you @bearer I am in Buffalo, NY.

Neither of the boards have any physical damage as far as I can tell.

Board 1: I moved my printer to a more stable table and I believe the panel due connection was loose when I reconnected it and then the board got really hot not even plugged in to power ( I read this means I have a problem with my processor?)

My panel due is also damaged, it lights up a black screen but does not show anything.

Board 2: Due to loose wires connectivity to the firmware became flakey and the fan and Z probe stopped working

Best,

Paul

Hello All,

I have two duet wifi boards and a panel due that need repair. Can anyone suggest where I can send them.

Best,

Paul

Thank you @chas2706 @DennisHall @Veti I apologize for the delay I have been out of town. I just ordered new tubes since I can't even unclog the the one that I have. I am told this is called heat creep and assume this is due to my temperature and fan settings being wrong. I will try to adjust the config and if that doesn't work possibly get a direct extruder. Any hot end and fan config suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks again @chas2706 and @DennisHall
I got that all configured and got some printing going but the filament keeps getting jammed. The extruder spins but filament gets stuck after a few layers. Other than cleaning out the nozzle, how can I prevent this? Lower temperature or turn fans up? Best, Paul

Thank you @DennisHall and @chas2706 I got the Z prove to light up and seems to be connected properly! Unfortunately my dynamic test is failed. When I put a flat surface under the probe it lit up but the z axis did not stop moving. I used the Z probe config codes you sent. Any ideas what could be going wrong here? Thanks again.

Thank you both! I am new to this and appreciate both of your responses. I took some time to go through them both and learned I do not have a z end stop, but a Z probe. I have the TronXY XY-08N and I read about it where it was mentioned in another post on this forum. I had it plugged into the Z end stop input (sounds like it can't draw enough power there. Can I change the connector and connect to the Z probe input next to the Panel Duel? The Z probe only has 3 wires (black, brown and blue) while the Z probe input has 4 slots. I see where ground goes but unsure where to put the brown and blue wires and one would be left open?

I saw the post about using the always on fan input to power the sensor. What is a fan voltage jumper and where do I get one of those?

At this stage I need to get this sensor connected properly. But looking forward to configuration, should I select Unmodulated or smart IR probe, Simple modulated Ir probe, Smart effecto or Piezo or BL touch? Then what should my trigger height and value be?

Thanks again. Looking forward to getting this thing fired up.

Hello All and Happy 420!

I bought and assembled at Tronxy X5ST 500. (500x500x600) I got the better part of 40 hours in this build and am stuck. I upgraded my board to a Duet Wifi 2.

I was able to successfully connected to the board and I can control the movement of my x and Y axis. The Z axis seems to move up okay and down intermittently. It does not home properly. It just moves up a little no matter where it begins. I can’t home all correctly. I am unable to print. When I send a Gcode print file the x and y move how they should but the z is not in place and no filament is coming out. I believe this is a configuration issue. I followed the configuration instructions for a core xy printer on the duet site. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. See my config files below.

Also does anyone have a Tronxy X5ST?
