If they still do not answer you I have a strip of 10x200 mm I could send to you. It is a cut off to fit it inside the metal clips holding the glass plate. You could puzzle it together to a 30x70 mm piece, which should be enough for the sensor to work with. Not an ideal solution but, I gladly help with what I can.by fotomas - Ormerod
Not a good video but still, it shows an Ormerod 2 probing with DC42's sensor board. http://youtu.be/Pe0IdH40pkMby fotomas - Ormerod
Great info! I am half way through the upgrade. Next step is to sort out all the wiring. Regarding config.g; What firmware are you using?by fotomas - Ormerod
New version 0.1.1 QuoteChangelog Re-worked logic for detecting changes Wait until file is completely written (by slicer for eg.) before trying to upload it. Changes made within 2 seconds overrides each other, only latest change is acted upon New files attachedby fotomas - Ormerod
Yes it uses ftp and listens to create/modify/delete events. You assume right, zombie or DC firmware is required. Should have written that in the first post. The idea is to point the utility to the root folder of where one stores the sliced files. As soon as a new file is sliced it will be uploaded. I store my g-code.files in different folders based on what filament it is created for. There isby fotomas - Ormerod
Good finding, I have my dual extruder upgrade kit sitting on my desk... any day now.by fotomas - Ormerod
Do you get an icon in system tray? The exe file is the application, not an installer. Another thing: I have found that it is a bit too trigger happy and tries to upload files before slicing software has finished writing to the file. Update coming soon.by fotomas - Ormerod
Here is a small util I have been working on. I call it GDrop because when you drop a G-code file in a folder it gets uploaded to the printer. I have a lot of ideas regarding more features but I decided it would be fun if it is useful for others too. Therefore I wonder if anyone is interested in some beta testing and maybe propose more features? I hope you like it! QuoteIt has the following fby fotomas - Ormerod
An idea for you with this problem . Set up several curves of filament with different radius (over night) to figure out at which radius it breaks. I would guess somewhere between extruder and spool radius.by fotomas - Ormerod
The cooling fan on top of the duet enclosure and the PSU annoyed me by its sharp sound and vibrating parts. I started by removing that fan and preplacing it with a larger one held by a bracket on the side of the duet enclosure and PSU. At that time I thought I had solved it, what I did not know was that there is an additional inside the PSU. A fan that increased in annoyance (whining) the longerby fotomas - Ormerod
Does this mean that the G32 result will not be displayed in the message log? Move debug has to be enabled? Thank you for the quick guide helping users getting up to speed with newer versions. That extra effort means a lot!by fotomas - Ormerod
As I see it; it is impossible to squeeze the bearing. My guess is that the bearing's get out of line when tightening the screws. Have you tried without the third bearing popped into the plywood? If you tighten one clamp and check that it still travels freely you can add washers between the other clamp and the plywood to adjust the alignment. A bit of trial and error and I think you will get itby fotomas - Ormerod
My experience is this: The Bowden tube design can only create so much push-force with a bendy filament. To get sufficient amount of plastic through the nozzle the speed has to be lowered. But also the nozzle temp raised to further lower the viscosity of the plastic. My advise is to raise the temp to the filament spec. max or even higher. This will give you better adhesion to the bed by stickieby fotomas - Ormerod
Works well, I can confirm that file info is now displayed correctly in the web gui, more files listed, and best of all speed/extrution adjustments have effect must faster (shorter command buffer). Thank you!by fotomas - Ormerod
I have noticed the reducd Z homing speed, a good feature. The simultaneous X and Y is greatly appreciated by me. As I said elsewhere I print with cold bed and BuildTak so I dont have any heat up time. So I have extra good use of quick homing. Homingby fotomas - Ormerod
Some feature request: 1. I when changing filament I have accidentally ordered 400 mm reverse extrusion at 1 mm /sec, a confirm dialog when doing this combination would be nice. Eliminating human error. As of now the only reasonable option is to power cycle the printer. 2. I value showing current speed, speed factor and extrusion factor. When adjusting the speed it takes about 20-30 moves beforby fotomas - Ormerod
I have increased the max speed for all axis. Speeds when homing and bed compensation. I now can do homing and bed calibration in half the time. Is the a downside to this? Specifically the Z axis, I have the max speed set to 400 now. /Tomasby fotomas - Ormerod
Looks great! I have seen that my adjustment screw moves over time so I added a but to lock it in position. It will be interesting to see if this design avoids that.by fotomas - Ormerod
A tip regarding wiping the tip of the hot end. If some oozing has occurred when the hot end heated up anf you want to wipe it off. A piece from a failed print works very well. Hot PLA sticks very well to cold PLA, compared to using a screwdriver, paper or something else. Leaving a clean tip with all hot plastic removed. Do not touch the actual tip just the hot plastic.

I have tried printing with a TPU like filament with limited success. (A cheaper version of ninja flex) Seems like there is not enough pressure to get enough filament through the nozzle. I am thinking about trying higher temperatures and printing much slower. Maybe the printer design is not suited (Bowden tube) for this kind if filament? Surely this has been tested before, can anyone give mby fotomas - Ormerod
I have designed a cover for the Z-Probe created by dc42. Itreplaces the insulator created by dc42. The replacement marginally affects the z-calibration, if at all. So it is easily done to replace it. It covers the circuit board for a nicer look and reduces the risk of short circuit. There are cutouts for the Z-height indicator LED. Two versions, one for the single nozzle board and one for the duaby fotomas - Ormerod

The surface is black kind of opaque. It reminds me of frosted glass or sand blasted aluminium. I have lowered the print head all the way down so it touches the bed without any registration on the sensor. I assume that the best registration is at a specific height over the table so a modification putting it closer to the breed won't help?

I have been using BuildTak for about 7 weeks now and have also had trouble with parts almost impossible to get off. The solution for me as to print the first layer higher and hotter. Best is to start high and print lower and lower until it stick well. That way you don't risk the part getting too much grip. It is my experience that the best height lies within 0.1 mm meaning changing the height jusby fotomas - Ormerod
Would it be possible to access a Samba fileshare? The use of a display on the ormerod would be much more interesting to me if the need of PC could be removed.

After running with my design for some prints I have a tip. The black part is bolted to the printed Y-idler bracket with two M3 bolts. It seems these can not keep everythin in place by them self. In the original design the black part rests against the aluminum profile and in my design it rests against the adjustment bolt. If the bolt moves the black part moves. So...

How abouy doing the calculation locally in the webpage. Query the firmware for the needed variables first. Then the calculation can begin when starting the print and when calculation done the end time can be calculated by subtracting the already consumed print time.by fotomas - Ormerod
As far as I can see the hole is too small. I would drill it bigger, maybe by clamping somthing with a guiding hole to it. The precision on these parts are not critical to the printing result. Most important is that it doesnt move. When you get it to print you can print a new X carrige.by fotomas - Ormerod
