You need to post those to „Things you have made“!! I rarely check the build threads but I am always interested in the things others create. You can also add them to the gallery, which makes Ryan happy.
i’ve bought a duet 2 wifi clone board so this weekend will be upgrading to dual endstops. haven’t landed on a firmware yet but will play it by ear.
biggest pain will be all the rewiring but at least the stepper connections are easier than series wiring.
I have working configurations for RRF 3.x for both the Primo and LowRider dual endstop for the Duet2 WiFi. I use the PanelDue screens on mine but they are perfectly good over WiFi as well. I think those configs are in my PLOG topics. Can’t send them from where I am (in the airport now waiting to board a flight.)
I can get the config and homing files once I’m at my destination, I just need to VPN into my home network.
I also have macros for using the Z probe, setting the workspace X and Y to zero and have the pause/resume routines set up.
Good build and I really appreciate the documentation. Could you please say if you have changed your fuidnc/fysetc e4 config from the August post or is all still same and working well. I know you are changing soon so would be good to get your last working here documentedif you don’t mind because it’s where I’ll start
Hey mate
Latest working config here: FluidNC Primo Config for FYSETC-E4 board - #2 by gritters
The downside for the fysetc-e4 board was only 4 drivers so I couldn’t do dual endstops. I never really understood the appeal of dual endstops until I started realising I was getting drift from my frame that I couldn’t easily fix automatically. Apart from that it was a perfect kickstart board and I was able to test all the hardware end to end very easily, including normal endstops and an xyz probe. Plus I got it as a freebie from a mate so the price couldn’t be beat!
Perfect thx.Ya I got one for $20. I have an 8 driver octopus board unused that I will likely move to once I get evrything working decently to move to dual endstops, etc. Thanks once again!
refresh that config page i pasted the wrong one
I had my first ‘the magic smoke escaped’ situation yesterday and burnt out one of the drivers on the new duet wifi board. I had used the online config generator and not checked the generated config.g file before trying to move the motor. Somehow the config generator set x and y to 300,000 mm/min. It appears the trap is that fluidNC uses mm/min and the reprap config UI uses mm/sec, so I overshot by 60x
Anyway one driver fried (apparently on just a single coil), so I’m stuck on my old fysetc board for a little while until a replacement arrives. Have been redoing all the wiring in the meantime so hopefully it will be a quick plug-in upgrade in a week or so.
That is crazy. Hard to believe that would pop a driver.
Replacement board ready to go. Case from here: Duet 2 Wifi Case - 2020 Profile - Tronxy X5SA by pr0xyfl00d3r - Thingiverse
I modified the lid as I wanted the wiring to come straight out the top.
Rewiring for dual endstops complete. Complete do-over of wiring. Endstop switches tested and ready to test with the motors. Dog keeping an eye on things.
woohoo all motors and endstops working! calibrating this afternoon and then time for a cave with the new board.
Has your supervisor on the left sign off on the changes?
Another Australian here. I have just started printing the parts. Thanks for all the information. Ill refer back to this post to get my build complete
Welcome OBI call out if I can help with anything.
Looking forward to seeing your build.
Yeah mate yell out. Between me and @Melcour we’ve probably hit all the snags multiple times
What I would say is if you’re impatient start working on ordering the belts/boards/motors/pulleys etc. Aliexpress was pretty fast for me but it’s going to be painful at this time of year. Everything else I could pretty much source locally.
Second that advice.
Ebay was my go to and didn’t have any dramas.
First test carve this evening - I flipped the spoil board over and re-levelled it.
I found out that UGS doesn’t really like talking to these Duet 2 boards. Its a pity because I really liked the gcode viewer, it was handy to triple check that I had my dimensions correct and correct z heights before I started destroying things.
In the end I used UGS to visualise and check everything but uploaded the gcode straight into RepRap and played it from there. Worked a charm even though I was a little puckery when I started it.
I also got the z probe functioning again and I think I found out the cause of some of my other pocketing errors that had been bugging me. I’m pretty sure it’s the xyz probe macro adjusting for the tool diameter, and I didn’t change it when I switched to a smaller diameter tool. I’ve built a set of macros for every diameter tool I have now so I’ll hopefully get to try a pocket again tomorrow and see if it fixes things.
Thanks for sharing your build and info. Its been great to follow. I’ve been wanting to build an esp32 based CNC for ages but I might save it for a printer or something because after reading this I’m set on dual endstops. Planning to switch from LR2 (with no end stops) to a Primo.
By the way, check out kingdom3d.com.au for eSun
Will do mate. Slowly printing the parts. Ordered everything else in need (hopefully)
