MEng Project Ormerod 2 with High Temp Dual Extrusion - 7 years ago
Hi all, Since the open-source aspect of the RepRap community rings true we felt it prudent to share the work we have completed on an Ormerod 2. The project was part of a 4th year Masters project at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. The scope of the project changed in a few aspects throughout the year. However, a couple of factors remained.

Re: Dual Extrusion with Different Materials - 7 years ago
Ahhhhhh.... OK so I guess the first filament selection relates to the first extruder and the second relates to the second? Noticed that was variable but didn't relaise they selected the filament for each extruder! Thanksby derek5a - Ormerod
Re: Dual Extrusion with Different Materials - 7 years ago
Hi DasBasti. I have been using Slic3r for a while and can't see any place in the extruder setting that allow you to set individual temperatures. Can you possibly direct me to how you achieve this?by derek5a - Ormerod
Re: Dual Extrusion with Different Materials - 7 years ago
Thanks for the tips everyone. I have yet to try any of them since i'm currently doing some single extruder testing. Although tips have been given to combat the cooling down of unused extruder I'm still looking for an idea as to how I can have the extruders set to print at different temperatures? Just to reiterate. The plan is to extrude PLA in extruder 1 and ABS in extruder 2.by derek5a - Ormerod
Re: Dual Extrusion with Different Materials - 7 years ago
Quotedc42 The E3Dv6 hot end uses a low powered heater, 25W AFAIR compared to 40W for the Ormerod hot end. I think this is a fail-safe system, to prevent it going much over 300C if the heater stays on. You could replace the heaters by 40W ones for faster heating times. They are standard 6mm cartridges. That is interesting dc42. DO you know what the power value is on the standard extruder? I wasby derek5a - Ormerod

Quoteorictosh In the slic3r's printer settings > general > you should have number of extruder set to 2 I use the duet web interface, which is also set for 2 extruders. Upon each one there is a standby and an active temp setting. I would set both these to same temp I.e. 190 PLA as this would stop the cool down between each layer The code below is taken from my config file which sets the pby derek5a - Ormerod
Dual Extrusion with Different Materials - 7 years ago
Having done a variety of searches online and on the forum and finding very little, I'm hoping to get some information relating to adjusting extruder temperatures for varied materials mid print. I am at the moment trying to get a decent calibration between two extruders currently using the same material. However, the time it takes to complete a print is obscene.

Re: Problem compiling v1.09 in EclipseArduinoIDE - 7 years ago
Quotedc42 I don't get any warning from either of those files. I suggest you post your warning and error lists. If you want to try my new build system: 1. In Eclipse create a new workspace in C:/Eclipse/Firmware. Then exit Eclipse. 2. Download and unzip the latest versions of my github RepRapFirmware and CoreDuet projects, so that in C:/Eclipse/Firmware you have folders RepRapFirmware and CoreDby derek5a - Ormerod

OK so that was weird... The variable A.BUILD.VARIANT.PATH had a forward slash at the beginning? Really weird as I didn't add that location. Anyways forward slash removed and the trial continues.

Re: Problem compiling v1.09 in EclipseArduinoIDE - 7 years ago
OK so I have had a guess at the flags at fault and left as much as I can.. The current content of the A.BUILD.USB_FLAGS is : -DUSB_VID=${A.BUILD.VID} -DUSB_PID=${A.BUILD.PID} -DUSBCON Manufacturer and Product variables have been removed. Can you please confirm this is correct? Also would be good to get a final Board setting as mentioned above. Finally some good news!. We're past the Startingby derek5a - Ormerod
Re: Problem compiling v1.09 in EclipseArduinoIDE - 7 years ago
Quotedc42 I recall that in the build variables, you removed the definitions of the USB variables that were causing trouble. But you need 3 of them. USBCON just needs to be defined e.g. as 1. USBPID and USBVID need to have the correct values so that the board is recognised as an Arduino Due. Before readjusting the environment data can I just double check the board you have set to?

As suggested I have updated the hardware folder in Arduino-1.5.8 with the contents of the ArduinoCorePatches folder found in dc42's firmware. Also as suggested by dc42 I have added the three folders missing in to the folders for includes.

Yeah which is what i'm finding strange... Your earlier firmware everything was fine i was cranking it to ~295 with no issues. I've now switched to chrishamm's firmware which seems so far to be working... though it does do something slightly annoying... Possibly because we're still using the standard power supply, but the hot end seems to take ages to heat up to temp... It tends to through up anby derek5a - Ormerod

Quotechrishamm Quotederek5a That sounds great chris! I am however also using thermocouples and so far only dc42's 1.09r fork seems to allow these to work? Unless you also have them incorporated? My fork supports them as well (thanks to dnewman's/dc42's changes), but I use a slightly different pin mapping.
