Made a few adjustments to the enclosure. I trimmed off a few of the external cable clamps, added two new ones which better fit the Pulse XE. Added several of the internal strain relief clamps. Adjusted the cover to fit. You can find the files in the link below, they will be in the Version 5 folder.
Upgraded coding for pause.g and resume.g. RRF Jason had programmed the config to move to X0Y0 upon pausing the print. This shoved the print bed backwards away from you. I have changed this to move the bed forward to access the parts easier when paused. You will need to add the following code to your pause.g and resume.g macros.
; pause.g
M83 ; relative extruder moves
G1 E-10 F3600 ; retract 10mm
G91 ; relative moves
G1 Z5 F360 ; raise nozzle 5mm
G90 ; absolute moves
G1 X0 Y220 F6000 ; move head out of the way of the print
; resume.g
G1 R1 Z5 F6000 ; move to 2mm above resume point
G1 R1 ; lower nozzle to resume point
M83 ; relative extruder moves
G1 E10 F3600 ; undo the retraction
One of the main reasons I switched to Duet was because my Pulse XE printer did not come with a filament runout switch. I was told they didn't have good luck with their reliability so they discontinued the switch.
Added Creality billet aluminum filament runout switch and code. This a simple roller switch with blue led light indicator. From left to right is Signal - Ground - Power. In my case I used io_4.in for Signal, center ground and 3.3v for the power. You will need to configure P0/P1 if your switch is normally open or normally closed. When the switch is triggered, it will trigger pause.g macro. Once you have replaced the filament, you will need to manually restart the printer using the resume print button.
Any simple runout switch will work with this code. There are many of these on Thingiverse if you wish to build your own. Add this code to your config.g file, near the bottom above custom tools is where I placed mine.

; Filament Runout Switch

@ssweat Are you sure it is the slicing that is slow? While slicing, it will say on the time slider what exactly it is doing. The slicing is usually one or two seconds, but writing to your media may be slow. Can you confirm?
I will send you mine. It didn't matter the object, I just used a box primitive that I raised up off the deck and placed supports under it. It didn't crash my system, but it was slow to frozen. I have 32 core processor and 6600 XT 12gig.
@spudnick1uk I can confirm when using supports, there is heavy lag created. I will pass this on to the team.
@spudnick1uk Most likely, it is your video card driver. The most recent driver is not always the best driver. Also you might want to try adjusting the internal settings.
@sugarhood-nye Maximum recommended temperature is 120C, however I do not know the limits set in the firmware for your model.
You see I am missing part cooling? I don't use part cooling. And never with Nylon. If I need it for some special part, I have part cooling attached to my enclosure with 120mm high pressure fans.
