Re: Duet 0.6 + Duex Issue - 10 years ago
I have another issue with my duet 0.6. I finally got the carriages in from China. Put the machine back together. Did some auto calibrations test. And finally I got perfect homing and calibration. So I heated the hotbed and extruder. Got it up to temp and attempted to print something out. Then all of sudden the system shut down. I cannot power the system from the ac adapter. The ac adapter works.by DRTak - Controllers

QuoteGrAndAG QuoteTha_Reaper On the E3D v5 vs V6 clone debate for the fan shroud... it seems like its neither. My sintron clone has a heatsink of 18,6mm diameter. The V6 has 22 mm, the V5 has a whooping 25mm heatsink. so... not a single heatsink on thingiverse will fit this clone it seem, and i'm afraid that i'm far from skilled enough to design my own. Hmm... Measured mine. It's 19.5mm in diamby DRTak - Delta Machines
Re: Ebay SINTRON Kossel Mini full kit - 10 years ago
All of my research says its an E3D v6 clone. But I cant prove it. The only test I had was when I printed an E3D fan shround and it fit perfectly. I also need a new nozzle. Mine got rammed into the heatbed. I used a needle to open the nozzle hole. But I think I made it at least .5mm now instead of stock .4mm.by DRTak - Delta Machines

I have infinite time to test my system but not really print right now. I noticed that the duet 0.6 heats the hotend and heat bed 2x faster than the RAMPS combo.by DRTak - Delta Machines

Quotegkr Hello DRTak, Are you based in the US? And are you looking for the parts attached in the picture? I have one set ready printed on my other 3D printer (as seen in the picture). Finally, how many do you need? If you are in the US, I can probably print a couple of them and mail them to you via USPS. Not sure if that would help you get back on track, any faster. Please let me know. Beby DRTak - Delta Machines

Quotegkr Hello DRTak, Thank you. The "qbert" thing you were talking about is this: Since I built my first 3D printer (A PrintrBot Simple 2014), I have used the above design to calibrate all of my 3D printers, and I have had good success (at least as an initial starting point).

Re: Ebay SINTRON Kossel Mini full kit - 10 years ago
Well my Y carraige is snapped in half and barely hanging onto the 2020 rails. I tested the wheels. 3 of the wheels have bad bearings. This led me to buy a V roller wheel on ebay that includes molded ABS carriages. I realize that it is one step down from metal and one step up from printed parts. But my printer is out of commission until it arrives from another country. I am getting closer and cloby DRTak - Delta Machines

Re: Duet 0.6 + Duex Issue - 10 years ago
Quotedc42 How are you feeding 12V power to the X4? Do not run separate wires from it back to the power supply. Instead, put a connector block close to the Duet and DueX4 to distribute the power, and run short thick solid core wires from it to the Duet and to the DueX4. I used the cores from a length of 30A ring main cable. See my blog entry on converting the Ormerod to dual extrusion. PANELDUE Iby DRTak - Controllers
Re: Duet 0.6 + Duex Issue - 10 years ago
Quotedc42 5V is fed to the DueX4 through the expansion connector. Can you measure the voltage between the +5V and Gnd pins on the PanelDue connector? If the voltage there is low, that might explain the hue issue. Ok. Very odd. Measured it with 12v power coming into the duex4. It read 1.5v at Pin1 on expansion 1 pins. Why is that? Did I not set a jumper right somewhere?by DRTak - Controllers
Re: Duet 0.6 + Duex Issue - 10 years ago
Quotedc42 You need power running into the DueX4 if it is driving any stepper motors or heaters. I am only driving a spare thermistor and the paneldue on the duex4. I do not have dual extruders yet or another heater. So no 12V connection. However, I DID connect the 12v to the DUEX4 and checked my paneldue and I get the hue issue still. I then DISconnected the 12v power from the paneldue. And stby DRTak - Controllers

Re: Ebay SINTRON Kossel Mini full kit - 10 years ago
Quotedc42 Regarding the thermistors, in theory all 3 channels should need the same H parameter. Any other discrepancies are likely to be due to thermistor tolerances. It's normal for the hot bed and hot end to give readings a degree or three different at room temperature. The extruder steps/mm of 663 in the config.g file you are using is about right for the mini geared extruder used on the T3P3by DRTak - Delta Machines

Re: Ebay SINTRON Kossel Mini full kit - 10 years ago
Quotedc42 If the bed is matt black and you have no glass on top of it, then you may not get good results from the sensor, because matt black paint will probably not reflect enough IR. The sensor will work on a dark grey surface such as BuildTak, but not black. I recommend matt black paint on the aluminium when you will be putting glass on top of it, because then the sensor can see the reflectionby DRTak - Delta Machines

Re: Duet 0.6 + Duex Issue - 10 years ago
Quotedc42 I'm glad you solved it! I think I see what happened. The Duet 0.6 does not have VSSA on the expansion connector. This was an oversight. In the Duet 0.8.5, the VSSA pin was added, and I see now that the pin it replaced was AD12. So on the DueX4 0.2a that pin is labelled VSSA, but when you connect it to a Duet 0.6 then it is really AD12. If your DueX4 has a VSSA pin, then it must be a veby DRTak - Controllers
