Hey Guys,
I am a CNC machinist by profession. There is a very critical feature missing from every single 3d printer out there and I believe you guys can change that. When I fire up my CNC at work, one of the first things I do after homing is to pick up my pendant and move my tool. Just as with my CNC machines, I need to jog my 3D printer head around frequently for various things like filament changes, cleaning debris, adjusting components, checking for wear, or just moving it out of the way so I can clear off the build platform, I guess you could call it sheer laziness to a certain extent, but I miss having my pendant in hand so so so much. If you go search amazon for "CNC Pendant" there are an entire assortment of pendants to choose from given any price range, but the ones that communicate over USB are incredible for the price. It adds a really professional look, function, and selling point. Have you guys explored supporting such a feature?

RE: Configuring PID values
Ahh, this explains how to use the legacy settings, I think that should achieve what I am trying to do. Thank you for the link, I was reading a different tutorial that didn't cover legacy settings at all.

Configuring PID values
Let me start by saying that I only vaguely understand PID math, I am trying to configure the PID values for my heated bed but I am unfamiliar with gain, time constant, and dead time. My previous PID values were Kp 426.68, Ki 78.92, Kd 576.71 Can I enter these values or convert them to the format that the duet uses to control the PID?

RE: Requested speed displayed is slower than specified in Cura
Oddly enough, I was tuning the current going to the stepper motors and bumping it from 500ma to 700ma on x and y seemed to have done the trick. It looks like its running at requested speeds now.

RE: Requested speed displayed is slower than specified in Cura
I am aware of how cura breaks down the speed value, in this instance I have specified a 40mm/s speed for walls, both interior and exterior, infill, all of them are set to 40mm/s, and the web interface is showing a consistant requested speed of 30.1mm/s. The model is all walls, no infill.

Requested speed displayed is slower than specified in Cura
As the title says, I have noticed that regardless of what speed I specify in Cura, it will always display the requested speed as about 10mm/s slower than what I actually specify and move accordingly. Any suggestions to correct this discrepancy?

Printer stops at layer change
I am trying to print a cylindrical object and for some odd reason, the printer keeps stopping at at the layer change point for a fraction of a second. Its also stopping for a moment as it moves from inside perimeter to outside, which coincidently is in the same location as the Z seam. Its making a gigantic Z seam as it oozes while its sitting still for a tenth of a second. I have uploaded the file in question.[0_1574910239282_RollerCura05Gcode.zip](Uploading 100%)
