Finally got round to unpacking my Ormerod 113

All's working as before.
Time to update the firmware. I'm currently using Web 1.14-b4 and Firmware 1.17
Anything I should watch out for? or just go for it?

Cheers

Jon

There have been several firmware changes that may require you to adjust your config.g file. I suggest you read the Upgrade Notes sections at [github.com] for the firmware revision you upgrade to and all the versions you skipped.

From memory, I think you need to do the following, but this may not be complete:

- Use a second M574 command to specify that the X axis is homed using the proximity sensor
- Either adjust your homing files to add the S2 parameter to some of the G1 Z commands, or add M564 H0 to config.g
- Check that you don't have deployprobe.g or retractprobe.g files in /sys
- Add X0 Y0 parameters to any G1 R1 commands that you have in resume.g
- Make sure that you have a M305 command giving the thermistor R and B parameters for the bed heater and the extruder heater, because the default values have changed

Disclosure: I design Duet electronics and work on RepRapFirmware, [duet3d.com].

Hi David, been working on a Mendle with a Diamond that had no values in the M305, what were the defaults?

No worries, found it:

On the Duet 0.6 and 0.85 the default bed thermistor resistance at 25C is now 100K (as it is for the Duet WiFi). If you have an Ormerod, Huxley Duo or RepRapPro Mendel printer with a 10K bed thermistor, you will need to add parameter T10000 to the M305 P0 command in config.g if you don't have that already.
On the Duet 0.6 and 0.85 the default hot end heater thermistor parameters are changed to match the Semitec thermistor used in the E3DV6 and other popular hot ends. If you have a printer built from a kit supplied by RepRapPro then you should use the following parameters in your M305 P1 command to restore the previous behaviour: B4138 C0

Thanks for your help.

OK. I'm not brave enough to go all the way having digested some of the firmware changes.
So going to 1.19 first from 1.17.
I notice that M557 code no longer supported and bed.g required.
Is there any info on the code for the bed.g file?

I'll share my config files for my ormerod 2 later today. Standard aside from an 8mm trapizoidal screw on z and metal bits replacing x-arm and bed support - niether of which have an effect on config.

I've got the metal x and bed support from Dave. Not updated the Z, still using 5mm threaded rod.
I'm just trying to carry out bed levelling using the auto bed command which now requires a bed.g file with probe points. (old setbed file type thing)
Just need to know the content for the file.
Cheers

Here's mine. You'll just need to adjust the co-ordinates to suit your machine.

M561 ; clear any bed transform
; Probe the bed at 4 points
G30 P0 X65 Y5 H0 Z-99999
G30 P1 X65 Y195 H0 Z-99999
G30 P2 X230 Y195 H0 Z-99999
G30 P3 X230 Y5 H0 Z-99999 S

For reference here is my config file.

There is also a config-override but at the moment that just includes the PID values from the hotend and heated bed autotune.

Thanks WesBrooks
That's great. Works a treat.
I'm using some old ABS filament which is working just about. A few air bubbles but prints well.
Where's the best place to purchase good filament these days?

I use 3D Filaprint, but there are loads of suppliers now.
