Re: Retrofitting a Duet 2 wifi into Makergear M2 Rev. E

Hi Michael! I did this conversion also about 2 years ago and can provide you a config but I would suggest you follow the instructions provided on the Duet sight. The current version of firmware is much higher than that of what I have.. hate updating firmware and breaking a functional printer but I w...

Re: Extruder motor stops responding/moving

First off, you need to test the extruder motor manually after you turn it on and it is functioning. You want to see if it will fail without the X carriage moving (think broken wire in harness) If the filament stops extruding when it is being called for, look a the opposite end of the extruder motor ...

Re: get RAMBo boardc repaired

What is your goal? The 8 bit board can be replaced with a new 32bit board that runs current firmware and makes your machine nice and quiet. If you can't fix it yourself, I would expect that paying someone, if you can even find anyone that fixes electronics anymore, would not be cost effective for wh...

Re: Burning Rubber

Sure I would check the connection at the rambo board..
What ABS are you using.. I have never needed to print any hotter than 235..

Re: Retrofitting a Duet 2 wifi into Makergear M2 Rev. E

I am now interested in the Bondtech extruder, did it make TPU as simple as solid filament? Would love the details on what to buy and how to configure. My Duet and BlTouch is working great, would need to reinvent the BlTouch mount if I switch extruders but may be worth it..
Thanks,
Doug

Re: BLTouch Auto Leveling Sensor

BLTouch installed on my M2 with Duet2 and working. Still have to play with the offset somewhat for whatever reason but the having different height maps at different temps is really nice.. full plate measured every 11mm makes for a really nice first layer. I have yet to try the tapper off option on a...

Re: Adding BL Touch to M2

BLT Extruder Redo. This is the one from Thingi that was tightened up to allow for better TPU printing. I added a front mount for the BLtouch sensor and have it working with Reprap on Duet 2 board.

Adding BL Touch to M2

Looking for instructions on how to add BLTouch to my M2, I have a Duet board so more or less mechanical instructions as I am sure I can get info on firmware changes from the Duet forum.
Thanks

Re: Where is the Makergear User Community?

We've been rebuilding our supply chain - high prices and long lead times forced us to find new suppliers. It took several months just to get spare parts in stock and in late December we were finally able to start building new machines. We did not auction anything off - we started to but cancelled i...
