No, I had another problem. I am still using the original two part component. The "head" cannot move fully in x-direction because it cannot pass the duet enclosure and the motor makes loud noises. So I have to clip the inlet duct on the fan after homing the axes. I have already downloaded your design, but I am unable to print the extruder and the part from iamburny yet. So it does not make any senby Treito - Ormerod
I could do this also, but the fan is very noisy and I do not have the impression that it is a good quality one. As soon as I have manged to print the missing parts in ABS (but the last parts have been failing so far), I would like to exchanges the fan with a better model.by Treito - Ormerod
Quotedc42 So I value the inlet duct as a finger guard too. Maybe this would be a good idea even though I did not manage to cut my fingers, but it should be only a question of time. (To get the fan working, I have to stop it some times, by pressing on the middle of the fan, so the bearing "refreshes" itself. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!) But I did brake one clamp of the inlet duct. With the originalby Treito - Ormerod
Quotedc42 You could cut the old fan wires a few cm from the connector and solder the new ones to them, using some heatshrink sleeving to insulate the connections. That was my first idea, but I would prefer not to have another "connection". Maybe it is because I am an electrical engineer. I did this quite often but I am not very happy with this. Regarding your hot end board. I am seriously thinby Treito - Ormerod
Hello, I would like to exchange the fan. I have the new one already here, but how I can remove the pins from the connector? Te connectivity offers a tool, but I think it is too expensive (for using it only one time). Is there another possibility? Kind regards, Svenby Treito - Ormerod
I also gave up on using Kapton tape. I was not able to lever the bed properly and so either the nozzle damaged the tape or the PLA did not stick. I print directly on the glass like DC42. Even though I am using 57° the PLA sticks good as long as the bed is heated. This does work even with ABS (bed temperature 100° and no need for hair spray or something else). But as DC42 already told - the levellby Treito - Ormerod
Thanks but I found the error. As in most cases it was ... in front of the monitor. Like every starter in 3D printing I had trouble with the PLA that it did not stick. I do not why exactly but during my searching for the error I increased the first layer to 0.5mm. And to get no problems during printing (extruder motor stuttering) I raised the z-axis about 0.5mm. Now I lowered the z-axis down and Iby Treito - Ormerod
Quotedc42 Thanks, I can reproduce the reset problem. Looking into it now. One thing I notice is that you are using absolute extruder distances. Although my firmware contains a fix to support this, it is recommended that you use relative extruder distances with the Duet firmware. This also explains why the progress bar finished at 78% instead of near 100%. When you use absolute extruder distancesby Treito - Ormerod
That is strange, because I can use speeds far beyond this for example 360mm/min and much more. BTW the other printing was finished, but looked awful. Edit: My values in the config.g were totally wrong.by Treito - Ormerod
Quotedc42 Can you post a zipped gcode file that causes this problem if you print it/pause/reset/re-print it, and say at approximately what point you paused it? No problem. The point does not matter but mostly I reset if the filament does not stick on the bed that means during the first layer. The problem only occurs if I resend the same file. I think if I send another file there is no problem. Tby Treito - Ormerod

Many thanks. As I repeated googeling I found data of the fan which showed 9.9CFM. If 8.6 is really enough it can be a lot quieter. But as I printed yesterday over night I was hearing the fan not as much as the motors so this is indeed a secondary problem. The main problem is the bearing. I would prefer someone with a better bearing.by Treito - Ormerod
The progress bar hung after the last big print. See attached picture.by Treito - Ormerod
Quotedc42 The Duet uses the G31 threshold when detecting the x-axis homing tab as well as when z-homing. Put a piece of white paper or white tape on top of the x-homing tab, that should fix it. My idea was that either the firmware uses the default value for homing the x-axis or you can edit this value, for example 636 for the z-axis and 364 for the x-axis. I can send you a log, but now I am "wasby Treito - Ormerod
The modified firmware and the web-interface are really great. But I have found some bugs. Probably because my settings are not smooth yet. If I abort a print (web-interface), I press "pause" and then "reset". The bed stays on, but that is not the big problem. After fixing whatever problem and selecting the same g-code file the duet reboots. Normally this should happen as soon as I press "reset",by Treito - Ormerod
The new y-idler-ends should be on the way. Also the z-upper mount, but this did fit. I had some very little problems with the support, because you cannot order here directly at RS. BTT. There is something wrong with the bearing definitely. When I start the ormerod the fan makes really loud noises and does not run at full speed. My guess is that the fan wheel can move a little bit and the imprellby Treito - Ormerod
Many thanks. I googled with "Superfan" and part number and the results were poor.by Treito - Ormerod
Okay thanks, but the technical data I woud need is not there listed, only guesses (CFM). But it is a little bit poor that the bearing is damaged only after three days of using and only one successfull .by Treito - Ormerod
Hello, I am new to this board and to 3D printing. I have an Ormerod green edition and I unfortunately got a version with two long sliding rods and place to hide. i tell you this so that you have a hint what kind of revision i have. I have many problems (Should I tell them in seperate threads or in just one?). Let me start with this loud fan. After a short time the bearing seems to have a damage.by Treito - Ormerod
