Re: Solidoodle Workbench Overhaul

I have now got my MegaDoodle up, I am now going to send some filiment through the hotends to see if they are wired right and got the right steps in my config file.  I was wondering if there is someone that still has the Auto Bed Leveler still attached and what how do you set it to level the bed in?

I've gathered a little more information.  It's not a z-movement issue.

By observing the Print Status area of the browser interface, I can see that the Duet believes it's still on the first layer.  Z-axis is not moving at all, and the Current Layer Time continues to accrue, even though it should be on the third layer.

After playing in the g-code console, I've determined it has something to do with relative versus absolute positioning.  If the Z axis is against the end stop microswitch, it won't respond to position commands in absolute mode. If I send it the G91 command, then it will respond correctly.

I found the problem: a typo in the config.g file where I defined the bed size parameters.  I had essentially placed the print head 'out-of-bounds' when it was z-homed, so it wouldn't respond to absolute position commands.  Fixed!  Now I am printing a calibration cube. 

After I get it calibrated, I'll start playing with slicing for multiple extruders.  It's very gratifying to get this thing breathing fire!  The SD Workbench hardware and DuetWiFi electronics, along with the E3D Titan extruders and v6 hot ends are turning out to be quite a nice combination.

How did you happen to fix this?  I am having the same issue right now.  I have been able to fumble through the rest and have learned a great deal about my printer and all the programs that go along with this process.

Re: Solidoodle Workbench Overhaul

After lots of changing settings and a bunch of googling I now have printed my first 20mm test cube. I have a few more things to mess with but I think it was a success.  I will post a photo of it tomorrow.  I will also add some photos of my MegaDoodle.  Thank you so much for this forum I have learned way more than I ever thought I would from this.  I has been super fun.  Now the exciting part happens, PRINTING MY OWN THINGS.
