Yes, those moving toolheads can cause some errant issues. I had a thermistor that had a loose connection, but every time I took it apart to find the issue, it presented as nothing and was strong. Somehow it was moving JUST enough while printing, and I couldn't reproduce it manually...last E3D...

Thank you. When I was looking this up last year I kept getting zero hits, and nobody was saying what they were using. Just a bunch of: "get some wire", yeah, no shit! Appreciate it, this should help me get my umbilical in better shape on my son's before I do it on mine.

True, true. A ton of variables...as always. What gauge piano wire are you using? I have some stiff wire that came with my canbus stuff, but I don't like how stiff it is, really stiff.

You have them communicating the same baud?

I think there are a few more cases of movement being made. And 10x the OD is pretty common between most flexible's limit on how much you can bend...my filament would snap before my tube would! Yours is more flexible?

Need all the internet archived...the internetarchive isn't cutting it as they keep trying to take it down to rewrite history. And they just went after Tucows (weird to see that name in 2025) for archiving!!! Going to be a weird time when we are fighting over facts in the future. Facts everyone...

Mostly just this one now...FDM isn't what it once was...but still there. I'm with you, reddit is trash, IMO. Discord is a horrid IRC wrapper with even worse searching. And I do remember everyone wanting this forum too...but people took too long and pushed everyone to Discord...most just said...

I do like to draft myself. I'm more of a sketch guy, never got used to these computer drawing programs.

That is definitely correct. I hadn't planned on adding beefier extrusions, but it certainly can't hurt. I'll see how the 2020 holds up and if not bump it up. Should be too hard, so I won't talk you out of something I may add, so you'll be ahead of the game.

Makes sense, I have one for the Chube Compact as well, and the XOL. Lots more are coming with support for that hotend, the mount is similar to others, so not too much to change. I think A4T is fine, I just can't use them as the sherpa-mount holes have changed since I printed mine out last...

Yes, the shotgun approach to documentation is a bit...undesirable and unprofessional. Too many projects not linked from each other, too many parts that were "one-offs" that are now default and not included in main repo....a real lack of documentation standards...but I'm a government worker who...

Did you also look here: https://docs.ldomotors.com/en/voron/voron2/wiring_guide_rev_d Nitehawk is the first image shown, after z-probe sensor. The pins from the nitehawk to M8P are taken care of via the canbus/usb connection. Four wires from head to board. Unless I'm confusing myself with what...

I'm familiar...Westvleteren was a second home...I lived in NRW, specifically Heinsberg area, so we were in that area almost monthly for my cases of beer. Good luck, and ping anyone here if you need it, plenty of helpful people on here. What parts are you concerned about on the switch? You...

You sound a lot like me. I'm always jotting down things to build. I have about 20 notebooks laying around in various areas so I can just grab and write. If I were younger...whoo...and single. Too much I want to do takes way too much time, single guys have it good for my kind of mind. And that...

I am going to TRY and document my Trident 350 build here. I've had this kit sitting around for about 2 years now and had too many other printers to build while it sat there. I even bought and built a Switchwire while this sat...looking at me angrily. Formbot kit from 3DPrintersbay Precision...
