  • Merry Christmas !
  • Thank you. I am just looking for Arduino due: it is largely available and cheap but RADDS board is not and RADDS extension is like a patch. I have found the following prices: Arduino 2 compatible 16,55 euro RADDS 55 euro RADDS extension board 30 eur…
  • OK. Maybe I will be part of the match but "meantime" I give you my very good news: "I have worked some hours in the afternoon and I have modified myself the Firmware to allow mixing extruder with as many real extruders active as are defined in conf…
  • I like your idea of SW architecture but I cannot throw away all the work done until now.
  • The price to pay is that if I change the HW I have to remap all the other 3 configurations on the new environment... And in addition to this I don't understant why you don't provide support to the older boards. A reduved version of V2 should work al…
  • For me your solution is too much complex: to run V2 I need to replace RAMPS with RADDS but it cannot drive 6 extruder motors, only 3, so I have to add other electronics for it and I have to use Arduino 2. To do so I have to remap the connections of …
  • #if NUM_EXTRUDER > 0#if MIXING_EXTRUDER || SHARED_EXTRUDER_HEATER    extr = 0; // map any virtual extruder number to 0#endif // MIXING_EXTRUDER This prevents more than one heating loop. By commenting this I can probably enable M163 and M164 comm…
  • OK tested just now: if I don't select the mixing extruder option the M163 and M164 commands are not executed or produce no effect.
  • "The heat control loop might skip all extruders except 1, you need to modify it to use 0 and 3 instead" The ideal thing would be that when I select the virtual extruders linked to the first Diamond (configured extruders 0,1 and 2) the firmware link…
  • If I compile the FW it gives compilation complete and no errors
  • I have not yet tested it: the question was infact if this can work or not then if I have to make some file editing.
  • I have done such configuration by assigning the first 3 extruders (0 to 2) to the heater 0 thermistor 0 and the last 3 extruders (3 to 5) to heater 2 and thermistor 2 normally used for extruder 2 then I have selected the mixing extruder option to ac…
  • In other words: 2 extruders but only 1 mixing of 6 filaments. What is very useful is to power on and off separately each diamond extruder. The only one 6 filament mixing can be managed. Thanks. Walter
  • Yes, 2 heaters and 2 thermistors but only one mixing extruder.
  • New revised Question: would it be possible to manage the 2 Diamond Extruders as not 2 but 1 only mixing extruder driving 2 different heaters one for each diamond ? Driving means that I can issue a gcode command to power on and off independently each…
  • Even if I set the 100% ratios (and 0% the others) selecting the corresponding virtual extruder and moving with repetier host I move the selected virtual extruder only so one only wire. At the same time if I issue the M600 cmd all the 6 wires (double…
  • OK. Meantime I have a little question just arosen: Is it possible to use M600 (change filament) in a mixing extruder configuration but moving one only wire instead of all togheter ? The reason why is to be able to remove or change a single wire of t…
  • Therefore to run V2 I need to replace RAMPS with RADDS but it cannot drive 6 extruder motors, only 3, so I have to add other electronics for it and I have to use Arduino 2. To do so I have to remap the connections of all the devices ... I have also …
  • I use Arduino Mega and Ramps 1.4 plus additional board for signal expansion, Cartesian printer 500 x 500 x 500 mm dimensions self built from scratch. I would like to use Panucatt RE-ARM as it is fully RAMPS 1.4 compatible... or any similar solution …
  • Question: should it be possible to manage the 2 Diamond Extruders as 2 different hotends but as mixing extruders of max 16 virtual extruders each ? If the answer is yes what are the modifications in firmware ? Thank you for your time. Walter 
  • I cannot find M402 T : I find only M402 X Y or Z or M402 only. Did you intend M402 Z F2000 and "T" was a typo ? Thanks. Walter
  • I need retraction because I return exactly at the last point of my previous color print with a different color and this way the extruder leaves a spot of the changed color on the previous print. I modified the code this way:   G92 E0; reset extruder…
  • OK ! Solved ! Before you were writing I had already imagined the solution: Yes it consists of both pairing G10 and G11 but not only ! A reset extruder position before and after extrusion did the trick ! G92 E0; reset extruder positionG1 E20 F100; e…
  • Hello ! Finally I have identified "the new combo not working" after very long testing !! Here is the result: ; tool change GCodeT[next_extruder]M401; store current position in memoryG91; Use relative coordinates{if layer_z < 24}G1 Z+5{endif}; le…
  • Hello, I have made 2 tests according to your advices. 1st test type I have printed 2 objects with extruder 1 and 17, I have repeated the test with 2 objects and extruders 1 and 25 with the extruder cleaning commands at each tool change. Result: same…
  • I have made homing and sent 2 times the G32 command. I don't know the meaning of the answer. I attach what Repetier Host reads. Please explain better: shall I disable the Autolevel option or shall I avoid to do G29 ? 09:25:28.911 : N31 G32*4209:25:…
  • I have an inductive sensor for probing and I have selected 3 points Bed Measuring Method and Bed Correction Method = Software correction of rotation. I am waiting for your advices. Thanks. Walter
  • One additional clarification, in the previous point 3 I print the same file (plate) of the point 1 cancelling the objects with the first 3 colors (extruders from 1 to 16) but I leave the cleaning code (M401 ... Z movements ... M402 Z M402) at every …
  • So summarizing the tests done: setup #define ALWAYS_CHECK_ENDSTOPS  = 0, Autolevel enabled; no pause done 1 - I print 6 different colors cubes and the Z offset problem appears in the first layer last 3 colors 2 - I print 6 different colors cubes b…
  • I know that you support only one mixing extruder and infact the twin diamond is configured as only one mixing extruder but with 6 wires instead of 3, one more of the Diamond Fullcolor Mixing extruder.
