I've just put plain address label on my bed, but still it won't respond to that, only an actual piece of white paper. I've attached a picture of the nozzle and extruder, because it looks a little high but I can't see how you'd lower it? Thanksby archieroques - Huxley
I think that I do perhaps need the paper. When about a millimetre away from the aluminium plate, the G31 command reports back values of about 150, but if I put a piece of paper under it in the same place, I get values like 658. This happens when the build plate has kapton tape on it, and when it doesn't. I think I'll just stick paper over the kapton tape for a stop-gap measure, but according to Rby archieroques - Huxley
I've checked the homeall.g file and it indeed does use M558 P2 for homing the z axis. I haven't yet done the next step you mentioned, because I don't have easy access to wired internet to test the web interface where my printer is at the moment, and moving it is a pain. The Huxley Duo's bed is PCB, with a slab of aluminium on top. There's no glass involved. The config.g file reads: G31 Z0.by archieroques - Huxley
I got a RepRapPro Huxley Duo kit last year, and built it then successfully and did a couple of prints, but haven't used it since because of other reasons. The printer always had a problem where the IR sensor for measuring the Z axis height doesn't do so, instead continuing to lower the axis when homing, to the point of snapping one of the parts. The sensor works absolutely fine for doing the Xby archieroques - Huxley
Hmmm, that's strange. The only reason I even thought about putting paper on the bed was because it didn't stop when leveling and was pushing the bed downwards. Well, it's working now, so I'll just leave it alone I think!by archieroques - Huxley
I ended up sticking a few extra M3 nuts in between the acrylic piece and the sensor board - I think it wasn't parallel with the nozzle, so kept missing the paper under the tape (possibly my mistake!). My machine is now happily printing the calibration part. It would be good if the Huxley's instructions were modified to include this paper bit though!by archieroques - Huxley
I have assembled my RepRapPro Huxley Duo kit, and am at the 'bed leveling' stage. It seems that the instructions for any machine with Duet electronics are now all in one place - this would be great, except they appear to just be the Ormerod instructions, and so all data is for the Ormerod, and the machine is always referred to as an Ormerod. This has resulted in me not realising that trying to seby archieroques - Huxley
Hi, I am starting out in 3d printing; I have done some 3D design before and we have a 3d printer at my school. I really want to build one myseld though, as I'd like to learn about the processes involved and I would like to have one at home to use it on my projects. However, I'm unsure which model to build - the main factors that I need to consider are price (it really needs to be as cheap as pby archieroques - Reprappers
