Hehehehehe I have yet again been left to browse marketplace for too long and got a good deal on an other industrial printer

covert crescent
#

ooh that's idex right?

#

what temp does it get up to?

novel crag
#

take more pics of the motion system 👀

flint sphinx
flint sphinx
flint sphinx
#

Just got home exactly 2h later

novel crag
#

and this shit gets them 100c huh

#

interesting choice with the bltouch

#

and that wiring

#

also, is that reverse bowden capricorn?

#

thanks btw

flint sphinx
flint sphinx
#

Might have to reverse engineer things to put them back on metal parts

#

Also emailed them because there are free parts I can get apparently, hope they will give them to me even if I am not the first owner

#

Hmmmmmmmmmm

#

Yep yep yep yep yep

#

That would indeed be the issue right there

#

I mean my finger clearly closes the contact but wow didn't think it would be enough to turn that lil light on

little harness
#

I feel more adequate with the DupliHeater now🙏

flint sphinx
#

Oh it's the 5V converter that is shot

#

And 12V too I guess

#

Aight so full electronics bay rework it is then

#

And then I hope nothing else pops up in the process

#

Oh I have a 24V meanwell

#

Amazing, didn't think I did

strange rose
flint sphinx
novel crag
flint sphinx
#

120V plug fits perfectly

novel crag
#

surprising amount of printed shit on that printer

flint sphinx
#

Yeah I am not sure if everything is original

novel crag
#

although i guess it makes sense for such low volumes

novel crag
flint sphinx
#

There have been at least 3 batches of the v2

flint sphinx
novel crag
#

my stock ender 3 was better cable managed

strange rose
flint sphinx
#

Mod #1: replacing some phillips with hex, this probably will give an 80% better print quality already

#

The bed is only 500W at 240V...

#

Wtf

#

And the chamber heater only 150w?

#

Huh?

little harness
#

With a bit of help of the chamber

#

Oh. Well long heatsoaking then

flint sphinx
#

Well ima need a new heater that's for sure

#

Probably a new bed entirely

#

Hmmmm

#

Wonder if it is not a v1

#

Adding it all up it doesn't make 2200W

#

Doesn't really matter, anyways, should head to bed

novel crag
stone vault
flint sphinx
median idol
#

Yeah I saw it, custom made?

#

I'm a fan of low power stuff, I am curious to see the heating times. Is it working?

flint sphinx
#

But I was told it is a v2 but it actually is a V1

#

Vision miner emailed me back, hopefully they will send me free stuff to upgrade things vaulthah

median idol
#

Mmm

#

I can only ask how much was it?

#

Im not a 22idex fan, quite the oppositemonkakarp but I am happy for you if you got it for a good price

flint sphinx
flint sphinx
flint sphinx
median idol
median idol
flint sphinx
#

ah ok yeah

median idol
#

Does it make sense? I feel like I did not explain myself the best

flint sphinx
#

you just think it is massively overpriced basically

median idol
#

Yeah

#

To say the least

#

Because when I put it next to a real industrial machine its embarassing

#

At the same price

#

How much is it retail, 12k?

#

Lol 15k

#

They need to cut the price 4-5 times lower as far as im concerned

#

Idk what your version is different in, if it has the same specs but just older/slower then you got a super deal, I would have bought it too in an istant

flint sphinx
strange rose
#

the bmg and mosq sounds like an upgrade

#

printed parts you can redo anyway and the duet 2 is still alright

#

sounds like a good deal

median idol
#

And how is the chamber heater?

flint sphinx
#

mosq is an upgrade tho

flint sphinx
#

and the chamber heater is just a PTC

#

I am going to need to get a new one because this one will be too weak, maybe I will get 2

median idol
flint sphinx
#

it doesn't have extrusions under it

#

just 3 balls going to the Z steppers

median idol
#

And a alu plate?

flint sphinx
#

or Z stages

flint sphinx
#

it is a bit thin, probably will get a new one at some point

median idol
#

Damn 200° and a thin alu bed doesnt sound very good

#

Im not sure about the various alloys but I feel 200° is too much

#

Creep territory right

stone vault
flint sphinx
#

well yeah it is the better one

median idol
#

I want to see how long it takes to reach the max

#

I think @stone vault the other day was saying something about the difference from heating to 100 or 200 is not much or something like that.. I can't recall exactly

#

Like I am probably overthinking it but does that mean I can heat any bed to 200 as I can heat it to 100 with the same configuration? Ignoring the mechanical build

#

Tldr: what the fuck is the difference between your 200 bed and a "standard" 100 bed

little harness
#

Probs not much, considering a normal alu heatblock is good for 300ºC (that doesn't need stiffness, granted)

median idol
flint sphinx
#

also thermal fuse

median idol
#

So in printers they limit the bed temp to what the pieces its made with can withstand basically

#

Or well, they should..

little harness
#

As one does, weakest link etc

median idol
#

300mm also

#

Anyway thank you all the info will come in handy for my builds 🙏

median idol
little harness
#

vision miner says to heatsoak for at least 60 mins at temp

flint sphinx
little harness
#

Bed at max temp

median idol
flint sphinx
#

yeah probably will

#

if I can get it to heat up enough

#

it is only 160W on 120V

novel crag
flint sphinx
#

with a heated up chamber I might be able to

#

I want to get a convection oven heater I think

#

but monies

#

they are expensive af

#

I have an air fryer heater and fan maybe I will try that

novel crag
#

I got mine for 30 bucks

median idol
novel crag
median idol
#

How is it sold as 200°

novel crag
flint sphinx
#

yeah it is

median idol
#

But from what we said before... it doesnt matter? monkaHmm if it can reach 100..

#

Assuming you can contain the heat inside

novel crag
flint sphinx
flint sphinx
#

lmao that's a funny macro

#

hmmm not sure what I should do for a heater on this one

median idol
#

I'll watch closely 😄

strange rose
#

so ideally you sandwich the heater between the alu bed and a steel backer plate and use embedded smco magnets to hold the printing plate

#

or maybe get an e3d ht bed from somewhere

flint sphinx
#

@stone vault would you put more trust in a genuine fotek 100A or a genuine crydom 50A?

stone vault
flint sphinx
#

I guess it would be this for the fotek

#

And the crydom is D2450-10

flint sphinx
#

And I am rewiring it all rn so might as well do that rn

flint sphinx
#

It's really weird, all the fans and it seems also the hotend heaters are wired for 24V but both PSU's were 12V

flint sphinx
#

We're swapping out SSR's then I guess

flint sphinx
#

almost fully rewired it up, just a couple more things to do, I might be able to have it at least homing tomorrow

#

printing covers for the SSR's rn and I might see if I have some microswitches to add filament sensors

flint sphinx
#

@strange rose do you know if any filament sensors that are better than others?

#

like I am looking at the duet one and that seems pretty damn expensive

#

but like just a microswitch with a ball bearing sounds fine idk if there are any other sensors that would be enough of an improvement to spend money on them

strange rose
#

I'd rather just look at the filament left than gamble on having false positives

rancid cargo
#

wtf

flint sphinx
flint sphinx
#

@strange rose do you know if there is something that might be modifying the path of the homing file?

#

I keep getting this error when I try homing

#

and it slams the 2nd toolhead on the 1st one for like no reason

strange rose
#

led?

#

homeall is in sys

flint sphinx
strange rose
#

not sure why

flint sphinx
#

@tacit vine I also have a project thread here for the 22idex

tacit vine
#

Alright.

flint sphinx
#

it be printing

#

making a purge bucket for it now

#

need to make tolerances a bit tighter

strange rose
flint sphinx
#

I am going to portugal for a week but once I get back I think I will start making macros for it, probably also going to try to do filament management

tacit vine
#

Enjoy

#

@flint sphinx Did you fix the homing issue?

flint sphinx
#

Yes

tacit vine
#

What was it in the end, I missed that update.

flint sphinx
tacit vine
#

the legacy v2 thing you shared with me was incomplete for dual markforged. No idea what they are smoking at AddWise

flint sphinx
tacit vine
#

I mean, if you do cartesian, and then define the X,U,Y,Z axes completely, that will override it

flint sphinx
#

Yeah I did override all the axes

strange rose
flint sphinx
strange rose
#

where you flyin?

flint sphinx
#

To Philadelphia for a layover and then Portugal

strange rose
#

oo nice

flint sphinx
#

You don't have solidworks or inventor right?

strange rose
#

nope

flint sphinx
#

Aight, I'll try to remake it in fusion for you so you can modify it for your printer then

#

It also has a space for a silicone brush at the top

strange rose
#

step would be perfectly fine

strange rose
flint sphinx
#

I have sketch and modeling tree already won't take too long

flint sphinx
#

Alright, I am back in Canada so should make some progress soon™ I was just told by the rep at visionminer that the mosquitoes are indeed not stock so they don't have a duct for it so I am going to have to make my own

strange rose
#

interesting

#

what will you do to line up the nozzles?

#

the copperheads can be adjusted but mosq cannot

flint sphinx
#

btw how should I be setting things up for IS on RRF? I forgot how to do it vaulthah

#

or I might not even have done it properly last time

strange rose
#

same as klipper, mzv but make it so it covers both x and y

flint sphinx
#

yeah but like I have to do the motion analysis

#

idk how I should set that up

#

should I be doing small or big moves?

strange rose
#

oh, I just do very high accel, very high jerk, pretty high speed and do like a 10 mm move

flint sphinx
#

ah ok

strange rose
#

seems like the most readable output

flint sphinx
#

why MZV over the other ones?

strange rose
#

zv is not enough, ei and zvdd limit accels way too much

flint sphinx
#

ah ok

strange rose
#

as you see at 59 hz it covers both axes

flint sphinx
#

no

#

the guy apparently put some mosquitoes on it after buying it

#

thought it was standard but the addwise 22idex actually came with some e3d volcanoes

strange rose
#

zvd starts rounding corners way before mzv

#

you can also do custom shaper

#

but mzv periods line up perfectly for me

flint sphinx
#

I do 6k accel 180mm/s outer walls, top and bottom solid, 10k 300mm/s almost everything else

strange rose
#

10k with zvd was awful for me

flint sphinx
#

not super mega fast

strange rose
#

ei is best like max 3k accel

#

zvd like 5-6k

#

but maybe your setups different, so worth a few tries

flint sphinx
#

ah fuck does it home before doing the motion?

#

the adxl is pointed towards the bed and it would hit if it does home Z

strange rose
#

well you need to home before moving the axes

#

you can like force it with commands

flint sphinx
#

yeah but it doesn't auto home then

strange rose
#

is that an issue?

#

just do it by hand so you don't have to take the adxl off

flint sphinx
#

yeah I set the Z axis height by hand and it is far from the bed

strange rose
#

so just do like G92 Z100

flint sphinx
#

but if it auto homes it will try to home into the adxl

strange rose
#

that's why you G92 it

#

makes it think it's homed

flint sphinx
#

ok I have no clue what I am looking at and what it should look like

strange rose
#

like regular klipper shaper

#

disable the capture whole thing and enable wide band

#

then it should look readable

flint sphinx
#

aaaah okay

#

ah yeah, shit is fucked

strange rose
#

what accel and jerk was this

#

and moved mm

flint sphinx
#

jerk of 900, accel of 25k

strange rose
#

hmm

#

maybe capture whole was enabled?

#

I kinda forgot

flint sphinx
#

still kinda fucked

strange rose
#

it is, I'm unsure

#

let me turn on mine, it should have the method saved

flint sphinx
#

this is with no shaping enabled

strange rose
#

yeah that's the one you should do

#

M566 X6000 Y6000

#

M203 X60000 Y60000

#

and accels at 30k for me

crimson sluice
#

the initial spike is probably from the stepper starting to move, the docs mention something about ignoring the first 15hz or so

strange rose
#

my X is strange

flint sphinx
#

oh ok you do a 20mm move

#

ok that looks more reasonable

strange rose
#

better yeah

#

do mzv at like 40 hz

#

and re measure

flint sphinx
#

this is at 45hz

strange rose
#

looks acceptable, the very low freq peaks just ruin it

flint sphinx
#

yeah but if it is just stepper then it doesn't matter

strange rose
#

not sure why yours look that high

#

but yeah give this a test

#

need to sit down again sometime and fix my X

flint sphinx
#

45hz vs 60hz

#

0.05 damping factor

strange rose
#

first looks better

flint sphinx
#

40 looks a bit better I think

strange rose
#

yeah, heavy Y

#

but mzv covers both nicely

flint sphinx
#

I'll try zvd and ei2 to see

#

oof yeah not zvd

#

and not ei2 either I guess

flint sphinx
strange rose
#

a printer part of course

#

ringing tower I guess

flint sphinx
strange rose
#

any

flint sphinx
#

@strange rose is there not MPC now in RRF?

crimson sluice
#

no

#

but there is feedforward

flint sphinx
#

ah okay

strange rose
#

it's mpc like

#

but yeah extra heater control is heatforward

tacit vine
flint sphinx
strange rose
#

yep

stone vault
# tacit vine dc42 told me their control algorithm is more like MPC than like trad PID

That's because MPC for hotend is so rudimentary, you take into account:
Constant heat loss (P term of PID)
Thermal inertia (I term of PID)
Heat loss due to parts fan (fan feed forward like in RRF)
Heat loss due to filament flow (RRF doesn't take this one into account)
The main thing that full MPC does better is lower settling time as thermal inertia is a bit more rudimentary than modelling thermal capacity

strange rose
#

fan is different

#

it can be used for fan but mainly makes the hotend hotter when it's extruding more

#

M307 K is the fan parameter and calibrated during heater tool tuning

#

M309 S is the power scaling with extrusion rate

#

or feedforward

#

I forgot the names but it does scale based on flow

stone vault
strange rose
#

yeah you're right

#

so many stuff to adjust

#

thankfully the fan and pid is handled very well by the autotune

#

the flow coefficient is a bit harder to do

stone vault
#

The upside of MPC is that these values get physical sense like "average specific heat of filament"

strange rose
#

bet it wouldn't be too hard to transform that into a config parameter

tacit vine
#

I wouldnt be surprised if there was a constant in the RRF source code that amounts to specific heat that could be pulled out ... nice starter project to acquaint yourself with the build environment and so on

strange rose
#

I'm not sure if I should commit sacrilige by vibecoding RRF

flint sphinx
#

Well I printed 2 parts in aero ASA so far, they look pretty good (especially given it is aero ASA) and I got the chamber to around 50C with the bed heater and the chamber heater, pretty impressive given that the chamber heater is only running at 188W

tacit vine
#

how'd you deal with the heating delay on the chamber?

flint sphinx
flint sphinx
#

the preview of the bed is flipped on the X axis I have no idea what is happening

#

the firmware on this printer is truely fucked

crimson sluice
#

did it probed it in the correct direction?

flint sphinx
#

yes

#

well motion goes in the right direction when I tell it to

crimson sluice
#

ive discovered a bug with the bed mesh being weird last year or two years ago

#

what firmware version are you on? it should be fixed in 3.5.6 i think

flint sphinx
#

3.6.2 rc-1

crimson sluice
#

yea that one should be fixed there

#

if i remember correctly ive had that issue once too.
cant remember what i did to fix that

#

i think coordinates where swapped or smth

flint sphinx
#

bed is fucked on there but when I try do check manually it is off by like 0.04-0.08mm maybe? so like it is good

#

I might have to just redo the whole config at this point idk

flint sphinx
#

now it keeps going to tool 3 and there is nothing anywhere that mentions tool 3 in any macros that it could be running

crimson sluice
#

usually a sign to just backup the configs and start over

flint sphinx
#

yeah it is what I am going to do I think but like I really need to print some parts rn for a club

flint sphinx
#

yeah their configuration for anything other than using 1 toolhead is god aweful. I am going to need to redo it all

#

well the club will just have to wait longer

flint sphinx
#

@tacit vine do you have any macros for idex printers? I managed to find your cr-cast configuration but it doesn't have any macros

tacit vine
#

What kind of macros? It has everything it needs for mirror and copy mode.

flint sphinx
tacit vine
#

No, that machine was YOLO'd and manually tuned and bed plated shimmed

#

Also ran copperhead hotends so Z calibration was a breeze

stone vault
crimson sluice
tacit vine
#

@crimson sluice that sounds interesting. Please share.

flint sphinx
#

Well I guess I'll have to go mad and make a bunch myself

strange rose
#

what do you have in mind?

#

surely there's not many you need to add

flint sphinx
# strange rose what do you have in mind?

Probably not a whole bunch, most likely purge, wipe, custom pause that account for the fact there are 2 toolheads and can be using something that is not just t0, which it doesn't really do rn, also I need to modify things so when I home when I am using a tool it doesn't fuck up, rn it does for some reason

#

I also need to make macros for chamber filters, leds, add materials and such

strange rose
#

you could use a lot of non-idex macros then

flint sphinx
flint sphinx
#

@tacit vine do you think I should make the coordinates based off the corner of the bed or should I leave them as is with the origin at the center of the bed?

#

not sure if there is that much of a benefit to having them on the center

#

also not sure if having centralized variables that get called is better or if putting variables in the different macros and files is better

tacit vine
#

I did move from center zero to normal bed corner because everything else broke my brain. It should not make a difference function wise unless you have prints you want to print both on a delta and this machine without realizing the file. Probably not likely.

flint sphinx
#

funny macro to purge things has been made, now going to be doing the wiping macro

#

claude is pretty handy to comment it all

crimson sluice
#

got another one that does the same but for the ABL probe

flint sphinx
#

and now the wipe is done too, hopefully those will work well and I won't get issues, but with my luck I'll have a lot of troubleshooting ahead

flint sphinx
#

I think I got a little carried away with getting help from claude AI, my print start macro is now 280 lines long vaulthah

#

I have material checks, temp checks, sets up idle and regular temp

flint sphinx
#

well I was able to get it to about 65C in about 1.5h

#

not too bad

flint sphinx
# tacit vine Do share

it is not fully finished I think, still need to review it and confirm it works just like all the other things but I think it will work great when it does, I do think I'll be changing the globals to variables tho since that does not make sense with what I saw in the RRF server

strange rose
flint sphinx
#

PTC 185W I think?

#

for a huge chamber

strange rose
#

oh, yeah that sounds a bit weak

flint sphinx
#

yeah it is

#

this machine was on 240V

#

just don't have the money to get new heaters for it rn

#

also a 750W heater in the same size and in 120V is really hard to find

#

well maybe not really hard but hard

strange rose
#

can't you use 240v?

flint sphinx
#

my dad said no to me running some 240V to my bedroom

strange rose
#

well did he say anything about 480v?

flint sphinx
#

we aren't going to be able to get it to our house, too far from the industrial area

#

it is about like 1.5-2km away

stone vault
flint sphinx
#

I don't think the power company would appreciate

#

and my mom works for them so she might get in extra trouble for it vaulthah

flint sphinx
#

I was making them on a break at school so now I need to modify them I guess

flint sphinx
#

@strange rose do you know if there is something that is being called when a stepper gets enabled? I would want to have the electronics fan kick on whenever that happens but not sure if there is any command that gets executed I could add that to

strange rose
#

I just use thermo fan

#

monitor the driver temps or motherboard

flint sphinx
#

hmmm adding it to daemon.g is probably not a good idea right?

strange rose
#

not sure how you'd do stepper energized -> fan on

flint sphinx
#

oh wait nvm it is fine

#

that's what the troodon v2 config from jay does

tacit vine
#

You can probably look at object model

stone vault
#

I love object model and abusing the plethora of options

crimson sluice
#

yea i use something similar to turn on the chamberheater fans on my k3

flint sphinx
#

yeah not really finding anything about steppers being enabled, I just set it so if an axis is homed it will be kicking on the fans

#

just used the things in jay's config and put it in daemon,g

if move.axes[0].homed || move.axes[1].homed || move.axes[2].homed           ; check whether X, Y or Z drivers are active
    M106 P5 S1                                                              ; if they are, turn on the electronics bay fan
else
    M106 P5 S0                                                              ; if not, turn off the electronics bay fan```
stone vault
#

I think that object model lets you check pin state

crimson sluice
#

move.axes[0].machinePosition might work
its 0 when its not set or unknown

flint sphinx
crimson sluice
#

then i would just add a global variable and set it in the homing macro and unset it in the print end macro

flint sphinx
#

well then if I am just doing things on the printer it won't activate, I think jay's solution was good with the daemon.g

flint sphinx
#

alright, remade the config.g, just need to finish the cancel.g, and the pause.g I think

tacit vine
#

In v3.7 you can do OM based triggers which should reduce daemon.g abuse

flint sphinx
#

the printer is on a duet 2 so I can't go to 3.7

tacit vine
#

bummer.

flint sphinx
#

alright got the whole config loaded up

flint sphinx
#

I don't get it, I have been fighting with that thing forever, never had to do anything like that with any other printers, the Y axis just refuses to home properly and goes in the wrong direction

#

and it only goes in the wrong direction when homing not when moving normally

#

I just ran it line by line and now it works? what the fuck

tacit vine
#

Put M400 between the lines in homey.g to see if it works.

#

Also, try swapping X and Y steppers to see if that stays with Y or moves to X. The. You may want to inspect the Y driver, depending on outcome.

flint sphinx
flint sphinx
#

okay so I am not sure how that can happen but when I do my pause.g I have a line that is putting the toolheads in their parked positions, which is G1 H2 X{move.axes[0].max - 2} U{move.axes[2].min + 2} F3000 ; park X at max - 2mm and U at min + 2mm simultaneously

for some reason the U axis is going to U-145 when it is not supposed to be going there since the minimum for the U axis is -25mm from the config.g```M208 X0:370.4 Y-6:362 U-25:350 Z0:450

so now I am really confused as to wtf it is trying to do
#

I am just slightly loosing my mind I think

stone vault
flint sphinx
#

0.0 for some reason

flint sphinx
#

the Y axis gives me -6 like it should tho

tacit vine
#

move.axes[2].min is Z

#

try move.axes[3].min

#

It'd XYZUVAB .... and I don't remember beyond that.

#

And the position it shows may be for tool 1, so you'd have to apply tool offsets for it to make sense. Possibly. I don't remember.

flint sphinx
tacit vine
#

Ah yeah, that would cause some confusion if you're not aware that the output of the OM doesn't care about the order of configuration of axes.

crimson sluice
#

pretty sure you can lookup the definition in the machine model

flint sphinx
#

just sent a 13h (I think) print to it, one plate for all the tradrack parts out of PET-CF and the accent color will be purple ASA-CF

#

also need to do filamentalist

flint sphinx
#

printer tells me it will be more like 15-16h it seems

#

currently only at layer 8 vaulthah

tacit vine
#

Time estimation is based on current speed and filament used. Time will go down towards the end a bit.

flint sphinx
#

Well it is telling me 20 minutes now so it wasn't the best slicer estimate but the printer estimate was decent I guess

#

The entire plate is looking good

flint sphinx
strange rose
#

nice

#

very top could use some higher EM

#

also need vid of it in action sunstare

flint sphinx
#

I shall take some when I get back home

flint sphinx
#

@strange rose you got any ideas of what to do for cooling fans on the 22idex?

#

Kind of seems to have to be mounted to the extruder

strange rose
#

cpap?

#

if it fits a 5015 if fits cpap

Thought about it but the fan would either need to be at the top of the chamber or I would need more holes in the back coming from the electronics bay

#

The gantry doesn't have any space at the back for a tube to pass

strange rose
#

hmm, then keep the stock config and add sheet cooling

flint sphinx
#

Oh yeah that could do

strange rose
#

I think the 12032 can't do high temps though so you need something else

flint sphinx
#

Just need to make new ducts because originally it was for copperhead or for v6 not mosquito

Last time I tried it I was melting the parts more and not cooling them vaulthah

flint sphinx
#

6mm should be enough breathing room for a 2510 right?

flint sphinx
#

aight that should work

flint sphinx
flint sphinx
#

getting to 40mm^3/s on infill, 2k accel printing and 4k on travel

crimson sluice
#

just the right amount of adhesion for PETG and PCTG

#

also PET from how it looks

flint sphinx
#

yeah

#

releases so easily

#

it really grips on when hot tho

crimson sluice
#

might grab a thicker one for my k3, but idk if i want to go with binderclips

#

could go with another custom made 0.2mm sheet but idk if the transfer tape survives the bed temps

flint sphinx
#

yeah that's a bit annoying

#

I'll probably be putting holes with thumbscrews on it

#

but I can't find my taps

crimson sluice
#

time to Hightemp silicone a sheet to some blank springsteel

flint sphinx
#

I am really annoyed because they are really nice taps

strange rose
flint sphinx
#

It looks so good

flint sphinx
#

some purple ASA-CF, it is my new favorite filament

strange rose
#

clean

flint sphinx
#

And all of that is with no part cooling fan

worldly bane
# flint sphinx It looks so good

damn didnt even know u got an idex22 thats clean, hows its vfa profile? wondering because it seems to use the same movement mechanics as the q1/p1s etc

#

The calibration for toolheads is taking a lot longer than expected vaulthah

#

The positions I had were way out of whack

stone vault
flint sphinx
#

Yeah I did the same but I think I went in the wrong direction at one point and made it worse and then fixed it ish

flint sphinx
#

XY is done but Z needs a bit of calibration, going to use a bit of percussive maintenance to do it lol

flint sphinx
#

I percussive maintenanced too hard and now the left tool is a bit lower than the right one

flint sphinx
#

I fixed the tool issue but I have an issue while changing tools where it doesn't wait for M116 to heat the selected tool up it just goes back to the resume position and then heats up, I posted on the discord and forums so I'll see if we are able to find the issue

#

Tool changes are also really long rn because tools need to heat up in the tool change, I'll dig around to see if there is a way to do pre heating

flint sphinx
#

and it is fixed...

#

the issue was on the slicer not the firmware...

crimson sluice
#

Orca has a preheat feature but it used to be broken and used a deprecated command for that

tacit vine
#

@flint sphinx you could probably try the second gcode stream to interleave the pre-heating. But that would probably require a post processor

flint sphinx
tacit vine
#

that's already in 3.6

#

oh

#

you have Duet2 boards. So no can do

crimson sluice
#

hmm might try that out on my idex

#

not sure if it will work well as its on a mini5+

flint sphinx
#

Pain

#

I can't afford to put some duet 3's on all machines lol

#

And mellow boards are not allowed in my house

#

I need to learn to make pcb's

#

Could MPU's work with RRF?

#

Could have some really good controllers if we can use MPU's I think

tacit vine
#

What do you mean with MPU?
