Re: movement sensor for 3D printer - 9 years ago

Quotedc42 It should be in my next release, but I am moving house soon so that may be 4 weeks away. Is either the E0 or E1 endstop connector free on your board? No I'm planning to try with Duet 0.6 only and i just confused with E0 or E1 Endstop connector , may be you were referring with Duet 0.85 board could you please resend the question with reference to Duet 0.6. By the way I'm having a quest

Re: Ribbon Cables for wiring - 9 years ago

Quotecozmicray You should really use twisted shielded pair to wire stepper motors and limit switches. 22-18 gauge should be fine The twisted pair minimizes external effects of high frequency voltage out to motors. There are instances of motor wires triggering end stops Extruder heater and bed heater should have gauge wire to handle the high current --- 12 -- 14 gauge stranded wire Hi,

Ribbon Cables for wiring - 9 years ago

Hi, I want to use Ribbon cable for wiring for my new 3d printer so what is the standard that I need to follow? Is there any preferred AWG(American Wire Gauge) value should i need to use for connecting stepper motors and heat bed (as heat bed requires more current) to the controller board? How the ribbon cables can be differed as per AWG wise for both heat bed and stepper motors? Thank you

Bowden setup with flexible element - 9 years ago

Hi, I'm planning to have Bowden setup for my new printer and i want to try flexible filament with it, But I've seen that with bowden setup we may not get good results using flexible filament, most of the suggestions are related to gear ratio and extruder only. So my question is what if we use geared stepper motor at extruder, and its Suggestible gear ratio? any suggestions regarding it would

Re: Duex/Duet and Stepper Motors - 9 years ago

yeah the more voltage more speed can it be but 'm planning to use nema 23 motor for only z axis ( in my new crane style model 3D printer) the other two is nema 17 motors may be i have to think once again which is better voltage So as per u're sayings it is applicable to both duet boards (i.e. Duet 0.6 and Duet 0.85) can run with 24 volts right? or only Duet 0.85 because i'm planning to buy

Re: Duex/Duet and Stepper Motors - 9 years ago

Hi, Can any one suggest me regarding power supply to the duet controller board? I'm planning to supply 24V to stepper motors and heat bed to get better performance from them ( as the higher the voltage, the more you will get torque) so If i use 24V as input to duet controller board will it able to withstand? and can it perform well ? Shall i go for 24V or 12V if i use Duet board ? what are ot

Duet 0.6 - 9 years ago

Hi, Regarding Duet 0.6, Why we need 5v external regulator board ( because in repliko site they were selling 5v regulator as optional kit)? but I am thinking its only for DueX4 expansion board power supply or Is there any other use of having optional 5v regulator ? Thanks in advance

Where can I buy Alligator Board? - 9 years ago

Hi, I am interested in buying Alligator Board. 1. Could anyone please suggest me a link from were can I get this.( I couldn't find any link to buy in www.indiegogo.com) 2. Product cost of Alligator board and shipping cost to India if possible. 3. What does it mean Arduino due compatible?(As it is having 32 bit Cortex M3 ATSAM3X8EA-AU microcontroller. So why we should go for Arduino Due). Th

Re: Duet 0.65 with Stand alone printing - 9 years ago

1. As you said that '20x4 and 12864 displays would provide only a limited amount of functionality' means, whether shall I use it in the same way as RAMPS? Use the 12864 to select the Gcode and do some calibration and movements? I need only this function only. 2. Micro SD is available with Duet. How the files can be uploaded to it and how the micro SD can be accessed with out computer or web int

Duet 0.65 with Stand alone printing - 9 years ago

Hello, I am planning to use Duet 0.65 for my new crane style 3D printer. So here I need some clarifications regarding it 1)Is there any stand alone option other than web interface, panel due ? and i got to know that we can use panel one with slight modifications . Similarly can we use 12864 20X4 lcd panel or not? 2)Can anyone please tell me Panel One connections interfacing with duet 0.65 elabora
