Controlling oozing at the start of prints - 12 years ago
Been trying to think of ways to remove the ooze that occurs when the hot end is getting up to temperature. On some occasions it is caught by the edge of the bed and drops off harmlessly, on others it gets pushed up onto the face of the nozzle and attempts to wreak havoc on the first layer... Initially I though about a wiping plate at Z=5 but this would require some careful g-code trickery to preby static65 - Ormerod

Ian from RRP has agreed to cover it under warranty, which is a big relief as I don't know how long that would have left my Ormerod out of action for! Always impressed by RRP's level of serviceby static65 - Ormerod

I've just killed my Duet because of a bit of a noddy mistake, but I'm surprised it's not stressed more in the build instructions! Anyway, I had my aluminium bed plate on the wrong way up, as it's not symmetrical. This meant it was in contact with the solder pad for the bed power supply. I had made about 3 or 4 prints after building with the entire plate effectively live while heating! It was onlby static65 - Ormerod
