i initialy thought i broke my ir sensor so i bought an DC42's sensor as an upgrade - it hasnt arrived yet, but i am looking forward to it. My old sensor wasnt broken - the sys code does not have my bed positioning - but i dont know exactly where to put it as all my modifications still result in the x axis still wanting to home outside the bed (X15) instead of X55 or something like that... Pleaseby Ecko - Ormerod
I just upgraded to 1.19 from a previos version and noticed and cant get the x homing right. The sensor hovers just at the end of the bed instead on X55 as it should. Is there a way of inputting the bed homing locations as i used to - this is all very different from what i was used to. Thanks guys.by Ecko - Ormerod
Hi, I had the same problem, and these steps seemed to fix it. 1) make sure you have good bed adhesion (I use pva glue on glass). 2) make sure your bed is sufficiently heated (i set mine to 55 for the first layers and then 40 for the remainder) 3) I use a fan cover to direct the airflow, and try to eliminate any unwanted flow in directions that may cause the print to cool faster in one segment thaby Ecko - Ormerod
Happy to say removing g28 z0 from the gcode worked. But I do wonder - if I have just set zero by sending g92 z0 to the duet - why does it seem yo ignore my zero reading and default to a standard reading every time I run the bed compensation (I am using zpl 1.6 web interface). Anyway it works - yay.by Ecko - Ormerod
I am using a glass print bed, standard sensors and white paper with kapton tape (only on the corners). I tried making the first layer thinner in Sli3r but i got results similar to ormerod168 skirt jpeg image. I am trying to get a "squished" first layer - will have a go at removing the G28 Command from my gcodes. the funny thing was it worked perfectly for a week.. then it started messing up (nby Ecko - Ormerod
I have recently started having the same problems - my prints were ok on objects with a small surface area nut i cant print larger models. i am getting the same high extruder results as ormerod 168. I run the G92 Z0 command with the print head just touching the glass bed, I run the print and the first layer is being printed at 0.36 - but the first layer did not "squish" as it did previosly...

what exactly did you do? i am having similar problems i thinkby Ecko - Ormerod
my SD card slot has failed i think... I have sent an email to RRP after buying a new SD, and trying to find out what went wrong - What a long weekend! hope the card is still in warranty as i bought it last year (it csnt be that easy for a card holder to fail?).by Ecko - Ormerod
I have just encountered this problem, its coming up as: Can't open 0:/sys/config.g to read from. Error code: 4by Ecko - Ormerod
Just tired reading the sd card using the arduino interface - it says can't open 0:/sys/config.g to read, error code 4 configuration file not found. I typed in m305. What am I doing wrong here?by Ecko - Ormerod
here is the config g i am using. there is no M552 P2, there is a M555 P2 though... thank you for helping dc, i have no idea why i am getting these issues all of a sudden, the config g is as you had in your github download (apart from i changed my ip address.by Ecko - Ormerod
It must be a card problem like you said, because I have just tested the connections on my thermistor - they are both connected. I did have the x motor reversed (oops, but I remember I did that for my previous firmware in order to get that working). Where can I get a decent config g example, I am flooded with all the new ones for 0.78+ which have so much more in them than my previous config g (mby Ecko - Ormerod
It appears to be doing that, when I home x the axis/ hot end moves towards the x motor and continues moving. There is no trigger for it to stop and it keeps on skipping. I think the vibrations have also loosened a connection because whenever I tried to flash other firmware and get the printer functioning like I had before I get "t b 24.4" continuously come up on pronterface.by Ecko - Ormerod
Sorry, it wasn't y- it was x. I have just changed my blue z homing wire as directed when you upgrade to 0.78 and it looked like it worked. It's now stopped working again. Working like the link in the YouTube video I posted previouslyby Ecko - Ormerod
It is the x axis sorry, always get them mixed up. It does something like this (see link - youtube example). The fan and extruder keep on moving in one direction and not recognising the end limits of the x axis like it did on previous firmware that I was using. Why does this happen?by Ecko - Ormerod
It worked fine before when I was using an older version of the firmware 0.64 I think.... Or something, it's been some months since I last updated it. But the update seemed to take me 3 steps back again.by Ecko - Ormerod
When I try and home y, the extruder doesn't stop moving and keeps going in one direction. (It doesn't move back and home like it did before). I have the ormerod 1, no upgrades. My homeg and home all are from the reprap download on GitHub for 0.78cby Ecko - Ormerod
I have this issue as well, getting confused running from solution to solution but nothing is working... My y axis still doesn't home.by Ecko - Ormerod
I am using the original ormerod and the slipping is on the timing belt driving the bed, not the hot end/extruder. It may be a case that I have the fan too low and it may get caught and cause the slip. It's only a 1mm slip but I it's annoying. I will try and print the inlet - though with the results I am getting I don't know if I can print anything just yet.by Ecko - Ormerod
Hi, just made my second print - my first one called for the timing belt (on the heatbed) to be pulled tighter. This helped a lot, but my second print seems to be skipping as well (see photo). Are there any other tips to resolve slipping. I also need to increase the bed temp from 65 to a higher level because the PLA is lifting - any tips on this?by Ecko - Ormerod
this might be stopping me from making my first print. got directed hereby Ecko - Ormerod
Ok so I tried it ... I still get nothing. I have tried setting the bed temp to 45 and head to 100. (All easily achievable). I ran the print from g print drop. Before I had been clicking on gcodes. The blue bar comes up and gives me a percent completion but the extruder is not moving at all.... It moves when I do the setbed and circle test... The bed temp also rises to 90 deg when I have it setby Ecko - Ormerod
Should I set bd temp to an achievable value like 94 deg instead of 110 as that is easily achievable?by Ecko - Ormerod
The picture shows I reach 100 deg bed temp. I tried to look into the code. When it says wait for warm position M116; wait for all temperatures G10 p0 s205 r0; set extruder tempT0. Does that mean the part waits for the set bed temperature before it moves? If so that probably explains why the part isn't printing... Reaching a stable 110 takes a while is is hard as the absolute temp hard to keeby Ecko - Ormerod
I used the current iambury interface. It makes connecting to the web interface so much easier. I will check.by Ecko - Ormerod
I buil my own ormerod - not from a kit. When I was building it I upgraded the power supply. The bed reaches 110. I have ordered some 1.75mm pla, it should arrive during the week... But I feel there may be another problem.by Ecko - Ormerod
I do that.. But it's stuck on the home position. This should be easy now, not sure why it is not working yet.by Ecko - Ormerod
