Quotedc42 It occurs to me that one option would be to use the 2nd fan output on the Duet 0.8.5 to control the servo. You could use a diode and pullup resistor to produce a 3.3V or 5V signal from it. The PWM duty cycle and frequency can both be set using the M106 command (with P1 parameter to select the second fan output), so you can deploy and retract the probe by putting appropriate M106 commandby jf pion - Ormerod
the pb is : is there a pin available for a signal for a servo (ie pwm signal 20ms period 1-2ms width) i can easily adapt the level and most small rc servo can work with a 3.3V signal and use 5V for power but I don't know if there is pin available when the extension board is plugged in, and if there is a servo primitive for the due as with tha arduino mega (if yes it is quite easy to add a commaby jf pion - Ormerod
good morning, i'm considering buying a duet and extension to add to my home made (very) big prusa mendel . iI intend to use the kraken multi extruder from E3D so I need these multi extruder option I would like to use as in marlin an servo output to automatise the auto level procedure at the beginning of each print. is there servo output on the duet or extension card, and is there a way to do thby jf pion - Ormerod
extruder i jhead 0.4 mm abs 245° prusa 2 wade extruder i've got that in the gcode file: ; generated by Slic3r 1.0.0RC1 on 2013-11-21 at 15:55:31 ; layer_height = 0.1 ; perimeters = 4 ; top_solid_layers = 6 ; bottom_solid_layers = 6 ; fill_density = 0.15 ; perimeter_speed = 60 ; infill_speed = 60 ; travel_speed = 130 ; nozzle_diameter = 0.4 ; filament_diameter = 3 ; extrusion_multiplier = 1 ;by jf pion - Slic3r
I'm very pleasd by the new version the print quality is realy improved without changing anything in configuration my prints are as smooth as a baby skin instead of an acneic teenager well done ! so far not big pb found , test going onby jf pion - Slic3r
at the end it work ! but it is only to see the STL file, not realy useful ! i thought it was a way to look at the gcode pathsby jf pion - Slic3r
how could you think it is possible to print thin wall 0.1 mm wide with a 0.3 nozzle ? there is no way you coud print it ! your wall need to be at least as wide as your nozzle (and twice large is better ! then you have to specify 0.299 wide for the perimeters to cheat on slice and get consistent 2 perimeters)by jf pion - Slic3r
Quotevetteguy112233 I still would like to know why the other method didn't work. because you have some surfaces inside the volume which make a faulty stl when exported in sketchup choose the wireframe view and inspect your cube you wil see a lot of surfaces inside the volume use the eraser tool to erase the useless lines and you will get a clean part to export there is some free pugin to verby jf pion - Slic3r
which old driver? if it worked with pololu or the same A4988 but not with the tb6550 the only difference is the pulse width which must be greater for the tb6550 (a lot ! ) see the spec in the data sheetby jf pion - Firmware - mainstream and related support
I don't know i use marlin with ramp, no exp with other harwareby jf pion - Firmware - mainstream and related support
instead of led use an ear plug from your mp3 , even short impulse will give you sound. may be with teacup you have the same pb than use to be with marlin : too short impulseby jf pion - Firmware - mainstream and related support
it would be great to have it implemented as a plugin for slic3r still don't know how to do it :-/by jf pion - Slic3r
back on the topic after a reinstall with win 7 and python 2.7.7 i got the same error if i try to specify min max temp pb whit numeric/str type for the variables ? (i'm not a python specialist ) it work anyway thank youby jf pion - Slic3r
which firmware do you use ? if it is marlin it is a known bug, the fan is not buffering so the start stop is not synch with the bridgingby jf pion - Slic3r
hello ! I would like a lot a post processor for slic3r (with the instructions how to install it on windows install ) thank you a lot for the script what do you think of the small change to work with hopping ? remplace if newZ != z: z = newZ with if newZ > z: z = newZ thank you againby jf pion - Slic3r
ok i haven't got the meaning of -h thank youby jf pion - Slic3r
can't make the thing work win 7 python 2.7.3 open the command window cd i: (that's where the woody.py and stl files are) I write : I:\>Wood.py -h -i coupler_slic3rl.gcode -o coupler_slic3rWood.gcode -n 190 -x 24 0 and I get : Wood.py -h -g -i -o -n -x I:\> and no gcode generated I must do something wrong, i'm not used to use python on win 7 (not at all in fact) thank youby jf pion - Slic3r
I will try which version of python ? 2 or 3 ? thanksby jf pion - Slic3r
yes but as hop is barely over 0.5 or 1 mm, it means only the temp change will be the hop high sooner not a big deal i think as it is purely cometic that's not a dimensional pb ( and even if the temp change in the middle of a layer, what's wrong with that ?by jf pion - Slic3r
may be only need to change if newZ != z: z = newZ with if newZ > z: z = newZ like that it will write the m104 s(temp) at each time the z lift to a new upper valueby jf pion - Slic3r
for use with hop enable may be it is possible to apply the change at the first level occurence so the temp change will be applyed at the high + hop amount not a big deal because there is no need for a real precision it is just a cosmetic plugin thank you by the way hox to use the script for non programming aware user ?by jf pion - Slic3r
the trik would be to write a stand alone utility able to work with any Gcode to independant of the slicerby jf pion - Slic3r
I had the same conceptual pb with the preloaded nuts for the Z axes so for my printer I designed the system as on the picture the nut support the z carriage and the spring keep it in place but in case of collission the nut just pop out the hexagonal hole and nothing wrong happens one the bright side there is only one nut which decrease the friction (even with brass nut less friction is betteby jf pion - Mechanics
I don't think it is very difficult to write a script which parse the Gcode and add the command M104 SXXX function of the height print could be done in perl I thinkby jf pion - Slic3r
the latest version of marlin seems to work with 6560by jf pion - Controllers
I already asked in slic3r issues list ( ) if it could be possible to change a bit the cooling option for ABS unfortunatly alex dismiss the question but I have to go further and i will explain why when you enable the cooling the fan is started at slow speed from the beginning for all the parts whith ABS you get a furious amount of warp. with ABS you only need to slow down for the small partby jf pion - Slic3r
sorry every body it is a false alert it was by design there is a hole here my faultby jf pion - Slic3r
sorry for the delay look like marlin could be a good choice easy to compile and transfer to the mega and pronterface is a good software (i uses these easely) you could get pronterface for windows with build in slic3erby jf pion - Firmware - mainstream and related support
could be a good idea to post your setting you use with the 6560 for the next one who step on the pb thank you (the pololu are quite enough for my small prusa for now -and myhot end surely can't work at that speed !)by jf pion - Firmware - mainstream and related support
I tryed to slice 0.2 mm 0.49 width 4 perimeter 0.1 infil hexagonal 4 upper shel 2 bottom in the upper part of the body there is no infill over the holder hole as in the pict, only the external shell a bug ? thank youby jf pion - Slic3r
