Did you set your “rotation distance” correctly for your Z steppers in your printer.cfg? I had similar problems with my Trident until I realised I’d set my “rotation distance” to 8 instead of 4. (Check the specs of you Z stepper motors that should have come with your kit.) Once I resolved this...

It's probably not a new idea but thought I'd share as it could be a useful tip for others. I've recently built a Trident and struggled with getting the belt tension right, as none of the phone apps suggested in the Voron docs seemed to give any consistent results. Then I had a Eureka moment...

Thanks. Think I’ll do the same. Got lots of them lying around.

The on-board temp sensor on my SB2040 canbus board is reading way off, by about 10 degrees, from what the ambient temp is (around 20 degrees). And this is without using the extruded driver on the board. I’ve checked the actual temp of the board with a digital temp meter and it’s around the...

Interesting. I only updated my stealthchop_threashold yesterday from 0 to 999999 simply based on the example given on Mellow’s GitHub info on the SB2040. It made no difference regarding my issue. I’ll have a try at changing the microsteps value but I suspect that’s fine because my calibration...

Oops, her it is ...

Here it is ...

Hi, Noob to the forum. I have already searched threads on the Mellow Fly SB2040 canbus board but not found anything relating to my particular issue. Hoping someone can help. I've just built a Voron Trident with an Octopus v1.1 main board, and went the canbus route with the Mellow SB2040. I...

Thanks for responding. Glad it’s not just me. Sounds like the docs need updating to clarify.

I'm having problems successfully configuring a klicky probe installed on a Trident. From the Klicky Github page: But if I set 'variable_enable_z_hop' to False, as the documentation suggests .... when homing Z it *RAISES* the bed the specified safe distance (into the nozzle!) rather than...

A bit late to the party …. but I suspect your original problem (after you fixed your [include filename] typo) with macros not being found is because you didn’t have a [bed_mesh] declaration in your printer.cig file. (Look up “BED_MESH” in the kipper docs for details.) Including [bed_mesh] makes...

Sorry, false alarm. From where the bed was sitting the nozzle looked way out of alignment. But once I manually raised the bed up to the nozzle the alignment was much closer than I thought. And once I adjusted the Z end stop as far back as it would go … the nozzle now does align with the end...

Hi, I've just built my first my first Voron, a Trident 350 with canbus, and am at the stage of going through the pre-flight tests. The issue I have is I can't get the hotend nozzle positioned over the Z endstop switch because the nozzle is still too far forward (in the Y direction) when the X...
