Ok, so i've tested all of the connection wires and they all seem fine. The ZProbe in the web interface however, is very erratic.. It seems to be reporting some wild values every third report or so for the first set of numbers, not the ones in brackets (like from 102 101, 104, 134217726, 101, 102, 134217726). The number following in brackets seems relatively constant. Is there anything I cby parper101 - Ormerod

Hi Folks, Is this a hopeless issue ... nobody has had it before.. its still not resolved and zeroing z by hand is annoying. any thoughts would be appreciatedby parper101 - Ormerod
Hi Chrishamm, The probe works exactly as the commissioning steps say it should, so I can assume it's working fine. I have previously changed my X0, Y0 to have the IR sensor directly above the center of the paper. That's why i'm homing at "X=0, Y=0". Hi All, Unfortunately this doesn't answer my question however as I've now changed it back to a more stock X=0, Y=0 as suggested and have the samby parper101 - Ormerod
Hi Folks, I have what seems to be a newbie question that I can't seem to figure out with my Omerod 1. I've followed the instructions in 'Commissioning' to set the ZProbe height, which seems to be close to normal parameters (G31 Z4.20 P600 ) which I have added to the Config.g file, and deleted the original G31 command. After transferring this to the SD Card, and then try to Home Z, the z axis gby parper101 - Ormerod
Hi All, Thanks so much! After a few tries, the M116 code worked a treat! Now i have to remember to put M116 in slicer and all's good! This is an odd default if I may say so. Thanks again all, Timby parper101 - Ormerod
Quotechrishamm Try to send T0 instead of T1. If that doesn't help, please post your config file here. Hi Chrishamm.... Thanks for the help! That has fixed the hot end heater temperature, it now heats up fine, but still hasn't fixed the temperature not reading correctly. I'm concerned it will never shut off if I let it go.

Hi Folks, I'm finally getting back to attempting to get my Omerod 1 printer back online after numerous frustrating setbacks involving sending the board back to England after troubleshooting (with support) a board fault to find out it was totally fine, bought a new motor, and in the end found a dodgy connector on the Y wiring loom which was throwing intermittent errors. Now that (i thought) I haby parper101 - Ormerod
SUCCESS!!!! As usual DC you're brilliant. There was some sort of error in the config.g file; perhaps it was corrupted? I don' know. I didn't change anything except the name and the IP Addresses, so that's really odd. I copied the config.g from the original firmware folder (like i did before) and it now works!

I have replace the SD card once already with an 8gb C8, so that shouldn't be the problem. Yep, i got the 'ok' when sending M555 P2. er... now what? How do i get it to read on startup?? The card is fine, it can be read fine, it's just not being read on startup, so it's kind of broken. Anyone have any thoughts as to how i should proceed? Thanks, Pby parper101 - Ormerod
Ok, that's great! I do get a reading when sending the query directly (still no 'ok'): T:3.7 B: 16.1 The second temp is about right, the first seems way off but that may be something to do with the card not being read. I've been through the troubleshooting for what to do if the sd card isn't being read section and maybe i'm daft, but i still can't seem to get it to read the SD card. Maybe iby parper101 - Ormerod

Hi All, I'm finally setting this up and have found a problem with the Thermistor. Actually according to the troubleshooting, it's a problem with the Duet as it still reads nothing even when there is a 100k or 1k or 47k resistor accross the Thermistor pins. Can anyone think of any more diagnostics i can run as i'm REALLY REALLY hoping it's not the board, cause it was working fine. Thermistor reby parper101 - Ormerod
Gentlemen, Thanks so much. As it stands I would prefer the 30A but have gone with the 430 w instead. Next upgrade i'll do power first! For now i just want to get the thing up and running again to catch up on all the updates! Thanks again, much appreciated. Pby parper101 - Ormerod
Thanks DC42. You had no issue with the supply of power with the 430W? The supplied power supply is 750w. I had one in Australia that was older and a 500w. I was having ongoing issues on the edges with prints not sticking no matter what i tried. I had assumed this was due to the 500w power supply being unable to heat the bed properly. It may also have been the warped/sagging MDF bed. I havby parper101 - Ormerod
Anyone interested in swapping a brand new Alpine 750w power supply for 230 for a 110v? The one i got shipped from RepRap was faulty. I got a new one sent under warranty but then promptly moved from Australia to Canada. It's never been used because it's (unfortunately) not switchable. That is an option not chosen when selecting the power supply, though i'm not sure why if it ships internationaby parper101 - Ormerod

Hi Folks, Anyone tried hooking up the Omerod 2 power supply to an Omerod 1? I need a new power supply and was looking to swap mine out for a 12V system, which i assume is what the Omerod 2 now has. If not, can anyone recommend a power supply upgrade for the Omerod 1? Thanks, Tby parper101 - Ormerod

As far as i can tell, the upgraded aluminium bed is the same as the original, with two truncated corners. Can anyone advise on the difference between the original DXF and the upgraded bed linked above? I'm not trying to be controversial here, but i've got an offer i can't refuse and want to make the most of it. Thanks again.by parper101 - Ormerod
Apparently they don't ship the bolts to Canada. Anyone have any NA links?by parper101 - Ormerod
Hi All, I'm having trouble sourcing the above screw as i managed to wreck mine through a combination of inexperience and sheer force. Does anyone have a source you can send me a link to?

That's great guys, thanks for the ideas. I think I'll go ahead and get the alum bed too... not sure about the XAxis support upgrade if RepRap are going to be changing it anytime soon. Any thoughts? Thanks againby parper101 - Ormerod
I like this proposal... does anyone see any negatives to this? You would need to reduce the length of the smooth rod, yes? And you through-bolted the existing YAxis plate to it? Great, thanks!by parper101 - Ormerod
