    Upping my umbilical game

    Yep! I strive for that too and definitely recommend it, although there are rare exceptions such as is when things are tightly correlated such that one can't get sufficient information due to the relationship between multiple parameters. In the case of my XOL upgrade I would have much preferred...

    Upping my umbilical game

    It's great! Easily the best leveling solution I've used across all printers. That's not saying there aren't many good ones out there, but Beacon hits all my requirements.

    Upping my umbilical game

    The switch is still there but it's unhooked and unused. Beacon (or in your case Cartographer though I haven't tested it to say) handles it all. The one cautionary tale there is the Beacon has to be over the build plate to do that. So you need to home X/Y first, then center the toolhead over...

    Upping my umbilical game

    Yeah I feel your pain 3dCase, I wasn't comfortable changing so much at once and actually is why I have a BTT CANBus solution sitting here that I've never used. Similarly I wasn't super comfortable getting too far away from the Voron standard build, really trying to stick to cable chains as much...

    Upping my umbilical game

    For me it was quite an upgrade given all the things that had to change at once so hard to judge it fully in isolation. But I'll try! Notably the 2.4 definitely feels like a new printer now having done all that. Feels more like a "2.5" or some such. This is mostly because of Beacon, but the QGL...

    Upping my umbilical game

    By the way, your printer config proved incredibly helpful for getting my sensorless homing working on my 2.4. The key turns out was my homing speed was way too low. I bumped it to 40 and all my problems seemingly went away. This plus having a working example of homing_override while using a...

    Galileo 2 vs Orbiter 2 pushing force

    I do but you might not like it :) Before you do anything, check the tension and try adjusting the screw. If you find it's grinding away plastic, you might actually try backing off a bit first before considering tightening it but you can try it both ways. Also check that your hotend temp is hot...

    Extension cables for Revo?

    Yep that was my thought. If I just get extensions then I can both use the generic Revo heater core for my MK3s (haven't replaced those, just added MK4s :P) and Vorons and don't have to deal with the nightmare that is the fiberglass ever again. The question was where I can pick up the extensions...

    Extension cables for Revo?

    I stumbled upon this part on Printed Solid: https://www.printedsolid.com/products/e3d-revo-voron-coldside I already have Revo heatsinks but what jumped out to me was the extension cables. Does anyone know where I might be able to pick these up? The reason is the Nitehawk 36 doesn't have the...

    Upping my umbilical game

    Oh thank you!! I had that opposite I guess. I thought I had to raise voltage, whoops! Yeah I'll give this a read, thanks for sharing!

    Galileo 2 vs Clockwork 2 vs Orbiter 2

    Actually I think I do! I don't have all your answers, but I have been able to compare G2 and OB2.5 recently. To be clear, I was very happy with G2. It's fairly approachable and produces stunning quality. I switched one of my printers to OB2.5 because I have a very specific PLA I need to use...

    Upping my umbilical game

    Recently I decided to try XOL/OB2. One thing I didn't realize is that it was meant for an umbilical setup so after a few other gotchas, I've been quite happy with it! I know I can improve things more though and was curious what folks are using with XOL/OB2/NH36 (with umbilical guide). I've...

    Curious how people track their filament spools

    Haha it just looks pretty because of Bootstrap :) It works but is pretty simplistic relative to Spoolman I think. I've consolidated largely down to a few filaments I use regularly so inventory hasn't been quite as important though I could stand to revamp that since I'll occasionally get caught...

    Question CANbus and umbilical mods

    Resurrecting a somewhat old thread, sorry! This caught me eye though and thought I would see if you might be able to clarify a bit. I have G2's in both my Trident and 2.4. I run a Beacon on my Trident (with a somewhat makeshift setup to run the Beacon cable up via the filament PTFE tube). I...

    Suggestions on piano wire lengths?

    Here you go! It's actually two pieces of piano wire, which is definitely not ideal as you don't want the ends digging into cabling. I let them run a but over the edge of the zipties to help avoid that but it's just a makeshift solution for now.
