#

Tried a few things ..still no go

#

is there a command to by pass the BT

keen vapor
#

disable AFC either by uncommenting it or by setting up a bypass filament sensor switch

gray spruce
#

Ok I was going to remove it from the Voron but dont want to remove the code for now

keen vapor
#

jsut comment out [include AFC/*] in printer.cfgt

gray spruce
#

I did

gray spruce
#

Well guess It's done wont home now ...calling it a nite

#

Have a good nite

#

I looked at the extruder on the BT I can see the bmg gear moving a bit ( smidge) when moving the filament manual

#

_CLIENT_LINEAR_MOVE E=50 F=300

#

wont print now that Commented out the BT

keen vapor
#

no idea what is generating that command

#

never seen that before.

gray spruce
#

Leave it to me to be the first šŸ˜€

Getting " internal prep Error "

#

TMC 'AFC_stepper lane1' reports error: DRV_STATUS: 00190010 s2vsa=1(ShortToSupply_A!) cs_actual=25
Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the
"FIRMWARE_RESTART" command to reset the firmware, reload the
config, and restart the host software.
Printer is shutdown

gray spruce
#

bad dstep driver ?

keen vapor
#

miswired stepper driver

#

is probably ABAB or ABBA instead AABB

gray spruce
#

all i did was put the BT back on

keen vapor
#

i'm just telling you what short to supply means.

gray spruce
#

gotcha undedrstand

#

ill just remove the BT then

gray spruce
#

Not sure .. i was able to get a print done without the BT

keen vapor
#

It’s a BT stepper driver throwing that error ….

#

Not your printer

gray spruce
#

None of the wiring has changed so I'll change the stepper motor

keen vapor
#

you don't have to change anything to start

#

just test continuity on the stepper motor wires for lane 1 and verify the pairings

gray spruce
#

Checked each lead from stepper motor to afc connection get a beep and reading

keen vapor
#

<@&1304550334839918672> can someone else help mike diagnose his short to supply issue please

gray spruce
#

Thanks ..thunderkeys

gray spruce
#

Had to head out I'll mess it tomorrow nite

keen vapor
#

Mike - what I'd like you to verify:

  • disconnect he stepper motor wire from the AFC-Lite.
  • test for continuity between the 4 pins. there should be two pins that 'pair up' for two sets (set A and B). Tell me what order the continuity is (AABB, ABAB, or ABBA).
  • do this for all 4 stepper motors.
  • take a picture of yoru stepper motor driver chips, from the top where the labels are. make sure the labels are visible.

we'll diagnose further from there.

gray spruce
#

I will do that. But changed motor for fun.

sage latch
#

Post your klippy log please

gray spruce
#

Im just about ready wave the white flag

So you have filament in your prep sensors for lanes 4 and 1 but not loaded in extruder, remove them and re-insert to load

gray spruce
#

i have zero filamewnt on turtle

sage latch
#

are your prep levers all the way closed?

gray spruce
#

1 moves but no action

#

4 lever moves but no action

sage latch
#

give like a 5 second wait between triggering them

#

strange thing is I did nothing expect remove th BT to fix tool head

#

hardware wise

#

Sorry to be a pain i nthe butt excuse the language

#

now i have to figure out were the leds are located in the softwar e

#

since I unloaded it and re-loaded

#

Thanks

#

Im going to be quiet as a mouse. .Sorry to bother

gray spruce
#

Were is the RGB for the TN2 code located on v0.0.0-1298-gcde2a73c-inferred to turn on the led /switch color

keen vapor
#

do you have this your config?

[AFC_led Buffer_Indicator]
pin: turtleneck:RGB
chain_count: 1
color_order: GRBW
initial_RED: 0.0
initial_GREEN: 0.0
initial_BLUE: 0.0
initial_WHITE: 0.0

along with led_index: Buffer_Indicator:1 in your AFC_buffer section

#

it may not do anything on starutp ... try cahgning initial values and see if it lights up

gray spruce
#

I used back up and I get no LED

#

Klipper reports: ERROR

gray spruce
#

I just remvoed [AFC_led Buffer_Indicator] maybe TN2 is dead

keen vapor
#

i doubt it

gray spruce
#

Unknown pin chip name 'turtleneck' all I keep getting

keen vapor
#

it woudl be to yoru benefit to stop just restoring from random backups and just configure it by hand

#

you may have your turtleneck mcu defined differently

#

if you called it e.g. Turtle_1 or tn2 or turtleneck2 it needs to match that for the pin name.

gray spruce
#

it loads until I put the buffer indicator in the hardwar.cfg then thats when it fails

abstract forge
#

your buffer isn't defined as turtleneck

#

mcu turtleneck doesn't exist, that is what the error is telling you

gray spruce
#

Fresh install same issue. ..Have a good day/evening

keen vapor
#

there is insufficient information to help us help you solve this problem.

I gave the default snipped needed for the LED - assuming the mcu is named 'turtleneck'. either your turtleneck mcu is not named turtleneck ,or it is not defined and you have an incomplete configuration.

please post updated full config folder

gray spruce
#

Is it possible that when installing from script that it's only installing turtleneck v1 and not for TurtleNeck v2. Since I was just chosing the defaults and adding the endstop pin.

keen vapor
#

The default is turtleneck 1 so yes.

gray spruce
#

Can I change that ?

#

Or. Option for v2 ?

abstract forge
#

It's an option when installing

gray spruce
#

What do i change it too as a option before hitting the I for install

abstract forge
#

It's one of the prompts during install

gray spruce
#

V2 finally just showed up this time

#

on the script

#

now I have find palce to put the TN2 serial

gray spruce
#

got it

#

now lets see if i can calibate the bowden length

gray spruce
#

Nope ..ejecting filament after going forward

gray spruce
#

Working on the bypass so at least I can use the printer

gray spruce
#

I shelved the project at least I'm back to single color printing.

gray spruce
#

Got a question when testing the lane 1 the filament spool correct but when calibration bowden length. It rolls backwards

gray spruce
#

I ran the test lane =1 -4 all spin backwards with ! or no ! for direction pin

keen vapor
#

It’s not dir pin that controls that

#

You need to swap rwd and fwd pin names

gray spruce
#

Thunder ..you Rock I would have never figured that out

#

except it just loosened the whole spool instead of bowden length

gray spruce
#

something is a miss still

#

its just unrolling the filament forward

gray spruce
#

afc_motor_rwd: Turtle_1:MOT1_FWD #RWD
afc_motor_fwd: Turtle_1:MOT1_RWD #FWD this is only thing i did ..

sage latch
#

A video when you run calibration I think will help us see what your are trying to describe so we can help get this working

gray spruce
#

Let vme put the bad unwinded spool back on so it can unwind it more

abstract forge
#

You’re rewind direction is now backwards

#

It tried to do a rewind when doing a retraction move while doing calibration and instead unwound a bunch

gray spruce
#

That's calibrating bowden length

#

I changed the fwd/rwd only due to the roll was going wrong way
Something else I need to change too ?

abstract forge
#

Change your fwd/red back

#

It’s backwards now

#

It sounds like that was just hub length calibration too

#

I heard the switch click and then it started going the opposite direction

#

If that is intended to be Bowden calibration, your toolhead sensor is stuck/not working or incorrectly configured

#

It loads to the hub, then does slow moves to the toolhead until it hits the toolhead sensor, then retracts a bit, then moves back in

#

If the toolhead sensor is in a triggered state, it’ll think it’s loaded as soon as the hub sensor is hit

#

But I can see in your video the spool is moving the wrong direction compared to the filament loaded in the lane

gray spruce
#

afc_motor_rwd: Turtle_1:MOT1_FWD #RWD
afc_motor_fwd: Turtle_1:MOT1_RWD #FWD this is only thing i did ..

#

What i changed due to spool was only rotating backwards

abstract forge
#

This is incorrect now

#

Please change it back

#

Your video shows your unwinding filament when doing a retraction move

gray spruce
#

Thunder told me to change it

abstract forge
#

No, Thunder told you how to change it. Your video clearly shows it should be spinning the opposite direction it currently is

#

So it needs changed back

gray spruce
#

Ok

#

Ill change it tonight and make a new vid

#

I thought I had a video of it just spinning backwards when running the test lane.

keen vapor
#

Pretty sure test lane runs the wheels ā€œbackwardsā€ as that’s the rewind motion iirc

#

I could be wrong

#

Not at home to double check it for several days

sage latch
#

Yes TEST command moves the wheels in reverse like it's rewinding a spool

gray spruce
#

Ok but the bowden length was doing the same thing

#

Until I changed the fwd/rwd pin

abstract forge
#

You have a sensor stuck or one thing then. I would expect it to rewind when pulling filament back

#

If you go watch the video you showed earlier it pulled filament back and your spool ran the wrong direction

gray spruce
#

Correct not sure why it was moving forward for a few then went backwards until I hit emergency stop it would have unwinded the whole spool

#

But I changed the two pin name to get the bowden length to even get the spool to go in correct direction in the 1st place. It was working correct in previous version of software. I have about 30 min tonight to mess with it

gray spruce
#

Original PINS ..making a video after printer is rebooted

abstract forge
#

šŸ‘

gray spruce
#

Pins back to default running bowden length lane 1

abstract forge
#

The respoolers are acting correctly based on what the filament is doing

#

So that is correct

gray spruce
#

For going backwards?

abstract forge
#

Yes, your filament was being retracted by the turtle and the spoolers were rewinding it

#

This is correct

gray spruce
#

Shouldn't it be pushing filament to the tool head

#

This is running the bowden tube length test

abstract forge
#

Are you actually doing the Bowden calibration and not just the hub calibration?

gray spruce
#

Yes bowden tube length

abstract forge
#

If so, you have your toolhead sensor stuck, or if you are still trying to do buffer ramming, the buffer is extended

gray spruce
abstract forge
#

That is why

#

Hold it shut until it hits your toolhead

gray spruce
#

Filament went past hub and stopped turning all together

#

Spinning backwards infinity with tn in

fleet forge
#

do you have the sensors showing in mainsail?

gray spruce
#

yes

fleet forge
#

double check that the switches for turtle 1 compressed and extended are correct

gray spruce
#

pic above was in

fleet forge
#

your hub switch has an issue then since all of the lanes are empty but it is detected

gray spruce
#

I found a small piece of broekn filaemnt in the hub

#

white filament go figure didnt see it

fleet forge
#

ok, try your tests again

gray spruce
#

Nope stopped spinning forward now its re winding trying too automatic

#

Ejected and keeps re winding infinity

#

TN was in the whole time too

#

Finally made it to the tool head then started screaming at me then it started auto rewinding ..sorry for all the typing

#

Is it supposed to click and jitter like that on a rewind

fleet forge
#

yeah, the extruder is doing short moves while the spooler is basically just running against its torque limits

gray spruce
#

afc_bowden_length: New: 2080.0 Old: 1725.0 at least I got a bowden tube length

#

its a start

#

its pushed out the TN 2 times durning the bowden tube test

#

i held it in

abstract forge
#

You’re using ramming as your sensor, right? Because that’s what it needs to do

#

Hold the TN only until it hits the toolhead, the let it expand on its own, and compress it slowly as it starts to retract

gray spruce
#

Yes ramming

abstract forge
#

Yes, you need to assist closing the TN again when it starts retracting from the toolhead

#

You should only need to hold the TN closed until filament is past it for initial load

#

IMO, ramming shouldn’t be used when you have toolhead sensors available as an option

gray spruce
#

I can disable it

#

The toolhead sensor

fleet forge
#

I think what they were saying is to use the toolhead for your entry sensor instead of ramming as it will be more consistent

gray spruce
#

I understand

gray spruce
#

Now none of tnr trigger are showing any signs of life when trying to load filament in the ptfe tubes even tried rebooting. White flag time ? Im sure you are all tired of trying to helping. So on that note...

gray spruce
#

what would cause lane 1/3 when pushing the filament ptfe tube backwards I can see the lane1 prep switch but no filament is not being pulled thru at all

#

something with the load side ?

fleet forge
#

Check you switches again, otherwise though I am not sure what you are trying to describe

gray spruce
#

Ill make a vid

#

Some times they work .Just did a fresh install

sage latch
#

You need to give some time between triggering each lane, like 2 seconds

gray spruce
#

I have tried that too

#

Wont even load the filament

#

I will give it a go

gray spruce
#

Ran bowden legth finally got that

#

but running T0 the TN2 keeps extending before filament getting to the tool head

fleet forge
#

this is why we suggested the toolhead sensor instead of ramming

gray spruce
#

I have a tool head sensor instead

keen vapor
#

then use it and disable filament ramming as your sensor.

gray spruce
#

I did šŸ˜€

keen vapor
#

then it’s fine if the TN extends during load sequence

#

that’s normal

The hub not clear one

So T0 won't work because its already loaded, you need to choose a different lane

#

Im trying to update the afc software only allowing me to install which will overwite the settings

sage latch
#

It shouldn't, have you been uninstalling and reinstalling AFC? or started new with something that could mess with what the script uses to determine if a forced update is needed?

gray spruce
#

To update the AFC plugin software, you can simply run the following command:

cd AFC-Klipper-Add-On
./install-afc.sh

#

erased my settings

#

made a folder called afc back up

#

removed the MCU folder

#

ran 3 times and now it shows the update but already to late

#

šŸ˜€

abstract forge
#

The backup folder is all of your old configs and should be able to be restored entirely

gray spruce
#

trying that now !

#

hopefully i can get something going this weekend

#

Been way to long

#

well that didnt work

gray spruce
#

all the folders are gone after rebooting

Im probaly going to format sd card and start all over

gray spruce

Moved sensor to top of the SB - able to calibrate the lanes. But when calibrating bowden length it keeps failing I can see the filament moving to the tool head and sensor is detected but calibtraion keeps failing

can you post the message that your are getting in the console

gray spruce
#

yes hold

gray spruce
# sage latch can you post the message that your are getting in the console

43 AM
lane1 failed to calibrate bowden length while moving to toolhead. Failed after 2125mm
if filament stopped short of the toolhead sensor/ramming during calibration
use the following command to increase bowden length
SET_BOWDEN_LENGTH HUB=Turtle_1 LENGTH=+(distance the filament was short from the toolhead)

#

getting so close

sage latch
#

It tells you what command you need to run

#

Increase your Bowden length and then run the calibration again

gray spruce
#

i have it set at 1650 right niow upped it to 1675

abstract forge
#

Up it to like 2500 then re-run calibration

#

Unless I'm wrong on that, been a while since I did the calibration

gray spruce
#

trying it now

sage latch
abstract forge
#

Hmm, I think in this case, unless it's at the toolhead 2200 or something is probably safe. It errored after a move of 2125 and not reaching the toolhead

#

Point in this case being that 1675 isn't a big enough change to not error

gray spruce
#

did nt work any way. I put filamenent manual i nthe tool head sensor its triggering but when calibrating its not triggering the sensor

abstract forge
#

Are you reaching the toolhead?

sage latch
#

Fair point didn't look at the length in the printout 😬

abstract forge
#

Yeah, it was more of a 25mm change isn't enough in this specific scenario lol

gray spruce
#

Just short at 2500

#

going to increase it

#

was reaching it before not sure why its not now

sage latch
#

Just keep increasing until it passes, and just watch to see how far it goes everytime

gray spruce
#

failed in same excact spot

#

increased by 25mm

#

ill increased it by another 50mm.. dont think its going to make a difference

#

Calibration failed again

whats the number its printing out?

No number

ok now its not retracting

#

had to scroll further down

keen vapor
#

do you have a pullup on your toolhead sensor pin

gray spruce
#

if im in the right spot

keen vapor
#

add a ^ before the sb2040

gray spruce
#

Ejected filament..what a mess

crimson saffron
#

are your respooler working during eject ?

#

maybe your rwd_speed_multiplier is too low

gray spruce
#

that was the ejext

#

rwd_speed_multiplier: 0.5

#

dang filament stopped to early again

abstract forge
#

check extruder tensions

gray spruce
#

already did that ..and just keeps failing over and over

#

spool is stopping o nthe foeward now and also the retract keeps getting stuck

keen vapor
#

the terse word explanations are not getting us very far.

More videos and logs/configs and descriptions, perhaps even a synchronous voice chat with a teaching turtle if they are available, I think woudl get you a longer ways towards success.

and please, stop starting over from scratch every few days. it makes us have to retread the same ground over and over and over again. I’m startin gto feel like I’m in groundhog day

Mike, I suggest working with @nocturne solstice on this -- he has gotten you further than any of us šŸ˜‚

I don't know why things just are not working for you ... your slicer setup at least looks fine (filametn ramming disabled) ...

gray spruce

What am I doing wrong
I printed the parts and the cutter is hitting the front plate ?

@gray spruce Please post your latest debug logs and state of the world and we'll try to get back to this. There's been so many different things we've been chasing over the past 5-6 months I'm not even sure where we are anymore.

I know @nocturne solstice worked with you directly and said your BT was working fine on all lanes, it was all toolhead issues. Sounds like that has since changed.

No

I found that

i wwas trying to figure out how to run it

nocturne solstice

you ssh into the raspberry pi

gray spruce
#

I ran it

#

Thats pretty slick

nocturne solstice
#

When it is getting stuck unloading, is the filament still engaged in the gears?

gray spruce
#

Im reading line by line

#

yes

#

I see no flat spots on the filament

#

also very light teeth marks on the filament

#

lane 1 mad e it

#

switching to lane2 failed on rewind

#

broke the filament

#

3rd time it has done that

nocturne solstice
#

YOu have a sharp bend when entering the chamber?

gray spruce
#

no

nocturne solstice
#

Actually. is there filament still stuck in the toolhead right now?

gray spruce
#

yes I just removed it

nocturne solstice
#

how much was still below the gears?

gray spruce
nocturne solstice
#

I thought you use a cutter?

gray spruce
#

I do

nocturne solstice
#

That end doesn't look like a cut though.

gray spruce
#

Rewinding now

#

Need more filament for lane1

nocturne solstice
#

I am leaning towards it is always getting stuck in the toolhead and sometimes breaking the filament. Next time it does this, remove the bowden from the toolhead, draw a line across where the filament enters, pull it out and show a pic please.

gray spruce
#

Ok

#

Let me get all new filament

nocturne solstice
#

I am curious to know how much is left in the toolhead when it occurs. I am not 100% on all of the tool values but I believe tool_stn_unload would need to be increased. @keen vapor ?

gray spruce
#

@ 71 right now

nocturne solstice
#

Yeah, I saw. Lets see where the mark lands after it happens again.

gray spruce
#

Loading filament

#

Runniung T0

#

Chirping at me

#

And failed

nocturne solstice
#

OK. so it failed trying to unload?

gray spruce
#

No load

#

This time

nocturne solstice
#

So it made it to the toolhead hit the extruder gears.

gray spruce
#

I thin kI might just send it out for a rebuild ..this is getting crazy

nocturne solstice
#

Calibrate the bowden length agin with the turtleneck closed.

gray spruce
#

ok

nocturne solstice
#

It will help you in the long run as you will understand how everything works as well.

gray spruce
nocturne solstice
#

Not stuck

Calibration

nocturne solstice
#

what message do you have in the console?

gray spruce
nocturne solstice
#

not there. the actual console.

gray spruce
#

1:36 PM
lane1 failed to calibrate bowden length Failed retract from toolhead sensor after 100mm

nocturne solstice
#

OK. what does the toolhead sensor show currently?

gray spruce
#

detected

nocturne solstice
#

But the filament isn't there

gray spruce
#

nope

nocturne solstice
#

Disconnect the bowden coupler and triple check.

gray spruce
#

Empty

nocturne solstice
#

using a scrap of filament, exercise the toolhead senser a bunch of times and a few of those times. check the statuse a few times as well to ensure that it is as expected. If the room is quiet and you pay close attention, you can feel the switch click on and off.

gray spruce
#

Yes did that before you chimed on

#

But will do it again

nocturne solstice
#

do it like 20-30 times in a row and make sure everything is going smooth.

gray spruce
#

Piece must be stuck further down so let me take apart ounce again

nocturne solstice
#

Don't need to take it apart

gray spruce
#

Staying detected

#

Heat up and extrudecit out

nocturne solstice
#

open filament latch, warm up toolhead to printing temp and push about 30mm of filemnt into the toolhead then pull it out.

nocturne solstice
gray spruce
#

30 toolhead tested fine

#

Triggered each time

nocturne solstice
#

OK. Eject lane 1 and then do a bowden calibration after reloading.

gray spruce
#

Working on it now

#

done

#

made it all the way this time

#

no more calibrations

nocturne solstice
#

OK. good. what did it say the difference was in the console?

gray spruce
#
afc_bowden_length: New: 2080.0 Old: 2075.0
Saved afc_bowden_length:2080.0 in AFC_hub Turtle_1 section to configuration file```
nocturne solstice
#

Ok. go ahead and home the printer and send a t0. Once it is loaded. let me know. The next step will be to do a T1. No matter what happens on the T1, just wait and explain what is going on šŸ™‚

gray spruce
#

šŸ‘

#

T1 now

#

good so far '

nocturne solstice
#

did it load properly? If so, go back to T2

#

Same rule. If anything goes weird, let me know before moving anything šŸ™‚

gray spruce
#

yes 1 and two loaded and unloaded

nocturne solstice
#

cut, poop and, etc?

gray spruce
#

yes

nocturne solstice
#

OK. doing T3 now?

gray spruce
#

yes

#

T3 completed

#

on T4 Now

#

T4 completed

#

back to T1 ?

#

or just revese it to see if it makes Round 2

#

what I was trying the other day

nocturne solstice
#

No... I don't see a need to keep grinding away at the filament.

gray spruce
#

ok t4 sitting in toolhead

nocturne solstice
#

so we have proven that the extruders to the toolhead woork perfect.

#

Time to test the respoolers.

gray spruce
#

ok

nocturne solstice
#

Load lane 1 and 2 with spools and do the same test. Be ready to assist the spools during rewind if needed.

gray spruce
#

ok hold

nocturne solstice
#

Just dont let the filament tangle. If you need to spin them by hand to assist with the respooling, that is OK at the moment. We just need to talk through that if it is a problem.

gray spruce
#

Im right here next to them

#

lane 1/2 complete lane 1 1/2 spool lane 2 full spool

nocturne solstice
#

Rewound without assistance?

gray spruce
#

none

nocturne solstice
#

Nice. Load lane 3 and move to it. Same rules

gray spruce
#

laqne full spool failed to rewind

#

lane 2

nocturne solstice
#

Did it not turn at all or did it try and struggle?

gray spruce
#

noope

#

no turn

nocturne solstice
#

did it turn when you were testing the lanes without the spools?

gray spruce
#

yes

#

3 made to the toolhead

nocturne solstice
#

OK. lets eject lane 2 and inspect. Does the rear support spin freely? what posistion is it in? I have better luck with it in the 2nd or 3rd posistion from the back.

gray spruce
#

yes rear suport spins freely

#

one fro mthe far back

#

4th spot

#

all of the lane are set the same

nocturne solstice
#

OK. set the rwd speed multiplier to 1 for that lane

gray spruce
#

ok

#

probaly should set 3/4 the same they are full spools too ?

nocturne solstice
#

Give it a whirl.

gray spruce
#

do i need to reboot klipper ?

nocturne solstice
#

yes. save and restart.

gray spruce
#

Just making sure. Do not want to assume anything

#

ok moving to t4 now

#

pulsating spool

nocturne solstice
#

I don't know what that is

gray spruce
nocturne solstice
#

YOu are supposed to be rewinding by hand to prevent that.

#

*if needed

#

Easy to fix it when it happens. just an extra annoyance you don't need at the moment šŸ™‚

gray spruce
#

Rewinder slowly and straight no tanglen

nocturne solstice
#

OK. once it is rewound, eject the filament there move the rear spool hold closer by one.

#

or just lift it up. Your pick.

gray spruce
#

moved rear up one

#

running t3

#

lane 3 spool still didnt rewind correct

nocturne solstice
#

Did it try?

#

Did it do better or worse than the last attempt?

gray spruce
#

yes

#

a little better

nocturne solstice
#

move them forward one more then.

gray spruce
#

ok

nocturne solstice
#

We are going to be heading out at 3:00 or so

#

Should be back around 4:30 or 5:00. Let me know how it is going even if I am not here please.

gray spruce
#

ok

#

lane 4 re-winded just fine

nocturne solstice
#

Nice... move lane 2 and 3 up to the same position and try them.

#

And remember. The turtle from the extruders to the printer are working as expected. Don't take them apart or mess with anything there

gray spruce
#

lane 3 rewinded nice

nocturne solstice
#

awesome

gray spruce
#

lane 2 missed the brush by 2mm for some reason

#

about

#

also missed the cutter

nocturne solstice
#

I am not going to worry about that too much at the moment. You will want to use a purge tower at least for your first few prints anyway

gray spruce
#

cool

#

I'll go thru each lane again

nocturne solstice
#

The same macro is used for each change. That isn't the turtle though.

gray spruce
#

correct

nocturne solstice
gray spruce
#

šŸ‘

nocturne solstice
# gray spruce šŸ‘

Just remember that the turtle is working as intended. Don’t stress out about little issues either. It actually performs better after being used a bit

gray spruce
#

Something wrong with lane 2 Moved the roller up one and still same results will not roll hardly with a full spool

#

missing cutter too

#

not hitting the depessor

nocturne solstice
#

Make sure everything is able to spin freely. And do a klipper restart

gray spruce
#

spinning freely

nocturne solstice
#

Put your half spool on lane 2 for now.

gray spruce
#

ok

nocturne solstice
#

Make sure you move the rear roller up on lane 1, update the rwd value and do a test load there. If it works, time for test print

gray spruce
#

did that and lane 1 failed now

nocturne solstice
#

What failed? Respooling?

gray spruce
#

respooling

nocturne solstice
#

Let’s start a single color print using only the first lane. Dino clip or similar

gray spruce
#

ok

#

my fav

nocturne solstice
#

Reasoning is twofold. Get some mileage on the lane and reduce the weight a bit

gray spruce
#

kinda what I thought

#

warming up

gray spruce
#

4:04 PM
lane1 filament failed to trigger pre extruder gear toolhead sensor, CHECK FILAMENT PATH
||=====||====||==>--||

#

lane one snapped filament

#

switching that roll

#

We are printing single color from lane 1

nocturne solstice
#

How did it snap the filament? it should be moving forward only.

gray spruce
#

Bad roll i guess. Swappedroll no issue

nocturne solstice
#

OK. maybe toss it in the dryer for a while.

#

Was it white by chance?

gray spruce
#

Already there

#

Yes

nocturne solstice
#

bad juju

gray spruce
#

I have 4 rolls of it

#

Oh no ..lol

nocturne solstice
#

Me and white filament just don't get along. LOL

gray spruce
#

Yea not looking on for the Dino

#

Good

nocturne solstice
#

Where did the filament break?

gray spruce
#

Afted the hub

#

Before going to the chamber

#

Ill let it finish out.

#

1st print on the Voron in a long while

nocturne solstice
#

She is cranky because she isn't getting enough attention.

gray spruce
#

Yep

#

Have to redo all the calibration test /shake Nz tune too

nocturne solstice
#

Don't even touch shaktune until you have another couple hundred hours on the machine. Vibrations are not going to be the source of any issuess for the near term šŸ™‚

gray spruce
#

Oh ok

#

Ill reprint the flow test orcaslicef blocks.

#

Ounce I get all 4 lanes working.

nocturne solstice
#

Don't be afraid to do single lane prints just to exercise everything.

gray spruce
#

Of course

#

Not worried about multi color yet

#

I might try and print 4 dino clips

nocturne solstice
#

Get every lane a chance to play. Good idea

gray spruce
#

Dino has black cavitys must have been some residue. In nozzle šŸ˜†

nocturne solstice
#

usually. Or some buildup on the outside

gray spruce
#

tryin lane 4 now

gray spruce
#

4 is giving me all kinds of trouble

gray spruce
#

Thanks for the help today
