Re: Duet 0.8.5 + BLTou - 7 years ago
Quotedc42 dintid, until your post today the last post in this thread was 7 months old. A lot has changed since then. Servos are now supported in RRF, and there is a thread on the forum at duet3d.com on how to use bltouch with Duet. Sorry. Guess I should stop posting from ipad when tired! I really didn't notice the timestamp and only found this by googling BLTouch and Duet WiFi Thank you for notby dintid - Controllers
Re: Duet 0.8.5 + BLTou - 7 years ago
Quotedc42 The firmware on the Duet doesn't yet support servos. I don't recall anyone asking for it until about 3 weeks ago, probably because there are so many good contactless Z probe technologies available that nobody wanted to use the old servo-deployed microswitch type. There is now an open issue about this, see . Somebody has managed to get some degree of servo control by using the Fan 1 ouby dintid - Controllers

Also recommend you use a m3 hole for PT100 sensor or similar Thermocoupler. Same as E3Ds PT100 and UM2. You can get thermocoupler with same measurements - I use these with E3Ds pt100 alu-blocks with smoothieware board which doesn't support pt100 sensors in firmware. I really hate the standard thermistors... they can fail in a lot of ways and doesn't last very long if you change stuff a lot.by dintid - General
Re: PETG eats the glassbed, what to do? - 8 years ago
It's not bad quality glass, although I have heard that.. usually from some know it all, who really doesn't know it all! Motedis warns against using PET-G on glass "as it will chip it".. if you bother to view their video.. their text says a generic "pritn on glass.
