Hmm... A new heater can be quite expensive, better make really sure the one you have is actually broken first. You'll get the most reliable result if you can measure the voltage across the bed heater at the connections closest to the heater. If the voltage stays high and doesn't drop when the...

Hmm... I wonder why. I have used "stealthchop_threshold: 0.1" for the xy drivers for many months without any hiccups. If someone else also tried it and had issues, please let me know. @NoGuru perhaps? Because if it's common with problems related to the 0.1 setting I shouldn't suggest it. In any...

Missed steps, something to try In printer.cfg --> [printer] the max_velocity is set to 300 so you can go up to 300 mm/s in x and y direction. In tmc.cfg --> [tmc2209 stepper_x] and [tmc2209 stepper_y] sections, "stealthchop_threshold" is set to 200. This means that when moving in x or y...

In Mainsail, in the "Temperatures" section, click on "Heater Bed" and check the box "Show PWM-power in chart" Now when the temp starts falling, you can see if the mcu thinks the heater should be on or off, and by how much. If "PWM-power" is at 100% or so when the temp is falling then it's...

It could also be caused by high filament flow. It's easy to exceed what the heater can keep up with, using a standard 40W heater element and any one or more of: high print speed, thick layers, large nozzle, huge part cooling airflow. If the flow is just above the max capacity of the heater at...

The error message is about the [mcu rpi] section in printer.cfg, it's not about the main [mcu] section. The [mcu rpi] section refers to using the Raspberry Pi as an extra mcu, and connect stuff like a vibration sensor and maybe other things as well. The [mcu] section refers to the primary mcu...

Maybe increase the timeout value in the [idle_timeout] section in printer.cfg? Create the [idle_timeout] section if it's missing. Example, one hour: [idle_timeout] timeout: 3600 More info: https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html?h=idle#idle_timeout

This is what I do to make sure the print temp is set before the print starts. And also to go directly to 150C instead of first going to print temp, then down to 150. But that's optional, to first go to print temp just replace "M109 S150" with "M109 S{temp_hotend}" in the PRINT_START example...

My EBB36 CAN board internal temp sensor also show a higher temp than ambient. This post got me interested so I took some measurements. They are from an EBB36 but I assume similar results can be expected from any small mcu board. CAN board show 1.5 degrees higher than ambient at startup, after...

In discussions about temperature sensors - in the context of 3d printing - the most commonly mentioned sensor types seems to be thermistor, pt100, pt1000 and thermocouple. This is an attempt to shine some light on a few of the differences between them. Enough to be able to tell them apart, but...

I have no answer to your question, but when I need a couple of screws with an odd length I cut them with a cheap and crappy wire cut/crimp/strip tool, like the one in the picture. If you look at the section where the rivet is, you can see a couple of holes with markings "M4", "M3" and so on...

Maybe the corners (probe points) of the bed_mesh and the corners of the quad_gantry_level are not in the exact same locations? If they are not in the exact same location, and the bed+magnet+steel+PEI sheets are not perfectly flat, then the slightest difference in probe point location will...

Found a nice macro here: https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide/articles/useful_macros/dump_variables.html I have used it and it works just fine. [gcode_macro DUMP_VARIABLES] gcode: {% set filter_name = params.NAME|default('')|string|lower %} {% set filter_value =...

I don't have a solution to this, but I did some research just in case I'll encounter the "Timer too close" error in the future. After reading a lot of posts in different places it seems like the TLDR is: Avoid anything that could put a high load on the cpu, such as having a weak cpu and using a...

@NoGuru - 1. Yes, the CPAP fan is strung up between springs inside the metal box seen to the left of the tophat. The box has a filter on the suction side and silencers on both inlet and outlet. It's very quiet. At least at speeds suitable for PLA printing. At full speed it sounds like a quite...
