Thanks, Buddy! Have a great day!

Hi Guys, In diagnosing my last issue of a clogged nozzle I somehow managed to get my config-override.g file changed. I just have, no idea how I did that? I must have issued a command in the console not knowing what I had done?

; This is a system-generated file - do not edit
; Delta parameters
M665 L409.530 R196.400 H335.150 B380.0 X0.000 Y0.000 Z0.000 (This H335.00 got turned into a 330.00)
M666 X0.000 Y0.000 Z0.000 A0.00 B0.00

Any idea how else this could have happened?

Thanks for the help!

Well, David, you were correct in that the motor driver is all good!! I am embarrassed to say all of my problems were due to a clogged nozzle. I even when as far as taking the clogged nozzle and installing to my second end effector. Uuuggg Funny how you don't know what you don't know. In over 3 years printing nearly every day I had never experienced a clog or partial clog. Yikes, I was extruding maybe 60% just enough to make me think something else had gone awry. Thanks again for the help! I love my Duetwifi"s!!!

Hi Guys, My last dozen or so prints on one of my Duetwifi machine started loosing steps on the feeder motor. I replaced the motor just to see if that could be the problem as it has a few thousand hours on it but did the exact same thing with the new motor. I replaced the whole end effector with one from another printer known to work great with the same motor skipping. Keep in mind it is not stripping out the filament it's more like a loss of current going to the motor? My thought is that I have a motor driver chip failing? Could you please give me your thoughts? I have only needed 1 amp for this motor. I am also thinking that if it is the driver I could remap to my E1 to my motor since I do not have duel extruder on this machine? Do you know where in the setup config I could do the swap?

Thanks for the help Buddies!

Hi David, Thanks for the reply! My fourth brand new card is working like a champ!! Why-why-why I ask myself??? It makes absolutely no sense to me. Any ideas what is going on?

Have a great day Buddy!

First post shows:
Firmware Version: 1.18.1 (2017-04-09)

I have tried three different SD cards with the same failure? None of my new cards will work? All the new cards are all 4GB SanDisk class 4. Everything seems to go as normal and opening the files shows the data, I have no idea why they will not work? The new cards still will not let me connect to web control, or read the card and all show My Duet at the top of the display instead of my printer name?

Thanks for the help!

Had a strange thing happen today a small print stopped half way through print. It appeared that a data error / could not read from card happened. OK, no big deal this is a very old card and as printed thousands of prints. I was just thinking it was on its way out! I had all my up to date files saved on my computer so I made a new one with my saved files. The problem is all the files do transfer ok, however, don't seem to be working? Although it looks like everything is on the SD card OK I cannot connect, home the printer, read SD card or much of anything else? Even my printer name will only come up on the display as My Duet? The config.g is clearly on the card when I open it up on the computer? If I put my old card in I can get connected, home, print, and everything??

Any ideas greatly welcome!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys, I noticed that if I make changes to my config.g file for the delta setting M665 R196.4 L409.53 B380 H335.15 the changes will not save/work? Is this because of the config-override.g settings take over? Can I make changes to the config-override.g file even though it states not to make changes in this file? My workaround has been to just push an M665 with my wanted setting followed by an M500 then reboot my controller? One other thing is there a way to reboot the controller from the g-code console?

Thanks for the help!

Hi David and Ian, I too have experienced all of the above issues discussed over the past year. I have found workarounds and ended up setting things up manually with crazy numbers like A100 C1000 D200. I sure would like to be able to use auto tune but same a Ian I have a huge thermal mass at 10mm think 800 square mm. I have been able to to get past some of my problems with setting M570 H0 P300 T30 ; Load new Heater Fault parameters. The thing that has been stopping me from completing autotune it the 2 min limit to cool down. I will overshoot about 28c but it will take more than 2 min to start coming down. Is there anything I can do to on my end to increase that limit? I think this is an important thing to nail down as more and more high performance and more pro like machines have bigger platens.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Guys, I spent today playing with my PID settings but not having much luck. First thing is if I try to use autotune for PID my system will initiate with heater on and then error out with "Auto tune canceled because temperature is not increasing" After messing around with it a while I was able to get it to run by manually turning on the bed heat for a minutes then shutting off and immediately running the autotune. however, the values are still way off with overruns of 20c+? The other thing is when I cycle my power for the printer it sets all my setting back to a default and bang-bang and that is after trying to save with M500?

Any clues or ideas are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the help!

Werner

Thank so much for the great info Tony!! I really appreciate it! I am giving this another go today and will let you know how it turns out!

Have a great day!

Werner

I Guys, I just wanted to know if there is a way to adjust the over temp limit for the bed heater? I use a 3/8 inch thick cast aluminum platten that's about 144 square inches. I think bang bang may be the way to go as autotune sets it up with PWM that takes forever to get to 60c. Bang Bang will get me there in about 2 1/2 min, however, overshoots about 17 degrees and faults. I really don't care so much about the overshoot and it does settle in OK. Any other ideas for setting to try in my special case?

Thanks for the help!

Hi 3Dprinting Guy,
I would beg borrow or steal to get the Paneldue!! It is awesome and is a real must have IMHO. I would just wait until I could save the money to get one.
Good luck Buddy!

Buddy if you're using simplify3d there is a way to do it I think it's under the gcode tab you can shift any of the three axes globally. Good luck!

What is the amp setting for your extruder stepper? 800? You might try 1000 (1 amp)
Good luck!

Hi Zenek,
Dig through the config.g file under settings system editor tab (Web interface). You will find a line that has most of what you are looking for.

Good luck Buddy!

Thanks for the reply David, I am sorry but I am still not getting it. Can use an M221 code to change the extrusion rate something like:
{IF LAYER =100} M221 S103
{IF LAYER =200} M221 S100

Would a layer change script in S3D like this get my flow to 103% override at layer 100% then back to 100% at layer 200?

Thanks for the help Buddy!

Werner

Can anyone please let me know if there is a way to adjust flow rate S3D (Extrusion Multiplier) on the fly via gcode? I would like to use layer script to tweak extrusion flow.

Thanks for the help!

Werner

Thanks Guys! I think I have it all working great!
