How can I tune the Z Height? My hotend is too high off the print bed and
Baby Stepping isn't helping?
This manual includes a dedication section for tuning your Z-Offset. You will
need to re-calibrate and set your Z height anytime you make any
modifications to your hotend/extruder carriage. This includes nozzle
changes, disassembly for cleaning, and general maintenance that
removes the Z probe, hotend, or extruder.
Why did I receive a heater error?
As you use your printer, components break in and may need to be re-
tuned for optimal performance. If you are receiving a heating error, either
the heater is having a hard time heating up or the thermistor needs to be
re-tuned to read the correct temperature. In our years of printing we have
rarely seen a heater cartridge fail, but it is not uncommon to need to run a
PID Tune to recalibrate the thermistor. Information on running a PID tune
can be found here: PID Link. We recommend running both Typhoon
heaters at 35% power, each.
Why is the printer not turning on?
Each unit has a 20amp breaker inside of the control box, located on the
bottom right of the control box. Please check to ensure the breaker is on –
this is indicated by red color on the front of it. If the front of the breaker is
green, this indicates the breaker has tripped, and you can flip the breaker
to the on position. Also check that the emergency stop switch is
disengaged and the unit is plugged into the wall.
I am having a hard time loading filament, what can I do?
Check that the end of the filament, the part you are pushing through, is
cut at a 45 degree angle. This angle helps guide the filament through the
sensor and through the hotend. You can also remove the tube from the
silver metal connectors by pushing the collar down and pulling the tube
out.
The blue LED is on for the WiFi network, but I cannot connect to it through
the Duet Web Control?
Sometimes a router will assign the unit a new IP address. Open the
Console, type M552, and press enter – this command will show you the
new address.
