Thanks for the quick response. I have found my problem, my Z axis threaded rods have some bad threads. I will replace them and move on!

Thanks for all the help! I have the Duet 2 wifi up and printing! But I have a problem that I can't figure out after searching. The lower half of a Benchy print is bad, the upper half is good considering my machine. I know I have to work on the first layer but this goes half way up the print. I want to print parts for an XY machine so I need to nail this problem down. See the attached picture. I have a couple of ideas but just wanted to run this by the group.

Ok, I have my z probe set up and calibrated but for some reason the Z probe reports below 0 when doing a home and bed comp. See attached config files and bed homez.g heightmap.csv config-override.g config.g bed.g map. Again, I have something simple in the configs that is causing this.

Z probe not working after Updating to

I am having troubles with blobbing. After printing for an hour or so I get a large blob and if I am not right there to clean it then the xy axis will skip. Any ideas?

Try this!

I am having a problem , after printing for 40 minutes it appears the y axis is skipping or something. I can print multiple towers much higher than this without a problem. Any ideas? (of course you guys have ideas! That is why I moved to the DuetWifi from Replicape)

I3 machine, I will try today. Thanks.

I have a logics problem with reversal of xy (long suspected but has not effected prints until now) I just printed a threaded piece, thread along Y axis and the threads are reversed. How do I fix this?

Well as I am a sailing skipper and have a tight schedule from the middle of June till March it will be a slow process but I will try to update my progress. Going with the XY platform.

The framing system will be baked carbon fiber to which the rails will be attached. I have lots of CF and epoxy and if I make this a cube style I have some ideas to make the look much "sexier"! Whatever the hell that means!

My next project will be to build an interim machine to increase accuracy and build volume. My initial budget is 1000€ just to get it printing. I am looking at a 500cm heated enclosed build space, 2 extruders and a .2mm extrusion. I want rails and Flex3Drive. I am not sure what the initial hotend will be but that is easily upgraded. This will be a proof of concept system.

After finally getting my I3 working well I am ready to start a new project. I want to build a larger printer with 2-3 extuders. Should I go with an X-Y or Kossel. I understand the XY system more, the Delta seems to be smoke and mirrors and magic!
I want to be able to print very accurate prints.

Changed the G31 Z setting and it works! Just like the documents said.
Now if I can separate the PrintBite from the broken glass I'll be a happy camper.

My extruder is going too close to the bed when homing so the first layer is squeezed. How do I change the config files to raise the extruder when homing.

Also, I broke the glass sheet under my printbite sheet. Does anyone know how to remove the printbite from the glass so I can apply it to another glass sheet?

Thaanks for the graet community support!

Well, I have to disagree. I think the docs are fine it is just me having trouble outing it all into practice.

Fixed! Once again I muddled through the documentation 5 times to get it right!

The Z-probe reading is now correct. Now my problem is the head wants to crash into the bed (appx 3mm too far) when I home Z. The bed compensation seems to work.

IR probe giving 1000 in the Z Probe reading in the web interface no matter what surface I use. I am not getting the 450-550 readings in the instructions.

I am using Slic3r right now.
