Thanks for the help all... One of my linear Y-rails just failed pretty badly. From various comments, it is plausible that it might have just been that rail failing. Will test again after fixing.

Just to add a related perspective... All of these popular extruder options (if properly set up) have an abundance of push force for the vast majority of cases. If you are going for speed records, etc, push force may be an important consideration. But for all normal printing, the problem is going...

PETG is one of the more blob-inducing filaments. If the issue is still there after drying, it might be the nature of the polymer. (I have recently been trying to use up a couple of rolls of Hatchbox ABS, which has an oddly low temperature for an ABS... Dry as a bone, it has been blobbing up on...

I've recently started a project to really button up my first layer tuning. I think I've gotten the kind of result that a lot of people would be happy. Honestly, I'm pretty happy too. But I'm seeing minor stubborn issues that I would love to improve. If nothing else, I want to understand them...

I've seen from several sources that the Voron Trident builds have a max Z-height of 250 "due to the lead screws". Some questions about that: Is this a part availability issue? It's been more than 3 years. Has the situation improved? Is it a quality/stability issue? I'm guessing not since...

I went EBB SB2209 using built-in CAN bus to Manta M8P. At this point, I can't recommend it due to what appears to be an ESD issue on BTT/BIQU's EBB SB2209 and EBB SB2040 boards. There is a relatively easy fix that I am just now implementing... Will not be able to confirm it until I've tested it...

Bingo... Layer time makes perfect sense. That was not relevant to the larger part. Definitely relevant here. I'll have to see how short I can set that without loss of quality. Thanks much!

I hope the screenshot captures enough info. This is on a Voron 2.4 using Orca Slicer (350 build volume, Galilio 2 w/Stealthburner). I felt like I dialed this in pretty well over the last few weeks. Quality has been really solid, and I printed a much larger and more complex piece yesterday using...

With avoiding the wiring and the software setup (which is also huge), you should be up and running soon. Best of luck to you, and ask for help if you need it.

Sounds rough. I hope things fall into place for you. I would tackle and prioritize as follows: 1) Physical build... It does not need to be perfect, but it does need to be good. If you are talking a gantry that is a few millimeters off square, I would call it good enough and move forward. If you...

TL;DR: This is resolved. Exact causes of the problems are unknown because the fix involved starting over from default Orca Voron and filament profiles. My best guess is that the problems were primarily a combination of too high acceleration with high filament temp and possibly other undetermined...

I ramped up my speed and acceleration to 350mm/sec and 6700mm/sec^2 (based on input shaping results). And things seemed to be printing surprisingly well. Simple stand-offs and parts were looking good and printing much faster. Then I decided to print a Voron cube to further calibrate it... It's...

I wondered why titanium backers became the thing to cancel out deformation due to the thermal expansion difference between aluminum and steel. So I looked into the Thermal Expansion coefficients of aluminum, steel and titanium. And now I suspect the answer is, "Because it sounds cool and nobody...

I've tested Max Volumetric Flow Rate and confirmed with secondary tests that Hatchbox ABS prints cleanly on my machine at 32mm/sec^3. So I configured profiles for those and ran some tests. With the default Orca settings for the Voron 2.4 profile, I was only getting 8.4mm/sec^3 max, because...

The title is the question. I have a Voron 2.4 with Galilio 2 Stealthburner, EBB SB2209 (RP2040 version) running CANBUS. I see a lot of good cable support / cable gland structures that mount to the clockworks 2. But few to none that work with Galilio 2 in this configuration. Hoping there is...
