But I got questions to your IR sensor:
does it work in the dark?

Yes

Does it work on a black surface too?

works just fine on BuildTak (can't recommend BuildTak though, the glue fails)

And you ideally want a surface devoid of any logo's printing etc
but black is the recommended surface to probe on with the ir sensor]]> dougal1957 Ormerod Sat, 11 Nov 2017 08:44:12 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,795782,795956#msg-795956 Re: Duet Replacement https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,795782,795956#msg-795956

First 2h print worked out fine again :)
I was checking the powercables every now and then - they are not hot
as before maybe a little warm.

Thanks David im sitting about 1000km south. I think im going to change
to the LED PSU since I already have one sitting here for my next project.

Are you in the UK? I have one of those boards spare. Or you can replace your ATX PSU by a LED/CCTV PSU, then you don't need that board.]]> dc42 Ormerod Fri, 10 Nov 2017 11:38:16 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,795782,795856#msg-795856 Re: Duet Replacement https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,795782,795856#msg-795856
I am kind of worried running the machine again, not being sure -.-
Maybe I should add this: the calbe was cold on the Duet side
only showed extreme heat next to the connectors]]> redblunt Ormerod Fri, 10 Nov 2017 10:42:15 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,795782,795848#msg-795848 Re: Duet Replacement https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,795782,795848#msg-795848

and a little metal flake on the duet.
I remind having seen a burnt power mod before.
Unfortunatly i cant find this spare on reprapLtd.

If it is just the connetor burnt then you should be able to remove it and either replace with a new one or just solder the wires directly to that adaptor board alternativly swap the PSU out for a LED Type 12V PSU which I believe the later Printers had]]> dougal1957 Ormerod Fri, 10 Nov 2017 10:23:04 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,795782,795827#msg-795827 Re: Duet Replacement https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,795782,795827#msg-795827 running 10min long i found this:

If you do need to replace the Duet, here are some options:

1. Duet 0.6 from reprapltd.com (direct replacement).

2. Duet 0.8.5 from Think3DPrint3D or Filastruder. Has a 5th stepper driver, so ready for dual extrusion.

3. Duet WiFi or Duet Ethernet from duet3d.com. The newer stepper drivers will make the printer quieter and you will get additional features.

With #2 and #3, if you have an Ormerod 1 then you will need to re-do the bed heater wiring. I did this a couple of weeks ago, so I can advise if needed.]]> dc42 Ormerod Fri, 10 Nov 2017 03:53:51 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,795782,795782#msg-795782 Duet Replacement https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,795782,795782#msg-795782 I will test further.
