Iv'e just finshed assembling to the point of flashing the board. I'm very comfortable printing, assembling and wiring, its the flashing and that side that gets me a little nervous. I'm very capable, but any direction or help would be amazing. Am I correct in saying step 1 would be to USB connect to the printer? OR should I be making sure my tool head and all peripherals are what they need to be beofre proceeding (tool head cutter) etc etc. Like I said, any help at all is incredibly appreciated. I have 4 more of these kits to build.

hi

long bear
#

Hi

charred furnace
#

will you be connecting via USB or canbus in the final state?

outer sparrow
#

Hello @charred furnace ! I saw you in the live stream the other day.

#

I will be connecting via usb

charred furnace
#

LDO kits?

outer sparrow
#

Yes

charred furnace
#

the board is likely already pre-flashed with klipper for USB mode, then

outer sparrow
#

Oh really? So just plug and play (kinda)

charred furnace
#

plug it into a pi - see if you see a /dev/serial/by-id/usb_Klipper...somethingosmething stm32h723 sometingsomething device

#

if you do, then it's got klipper on it already

outer sparrow
#

Ok, so plug into printer PI .... ssh in and see if it has Klipper?

#

hello! @long bear

#

I apologize in advance lol, I'm going to be asking a lot of questions here. I just want to make sure I get the first one done correctly to save me headache down the road with the other kits.

charred furnace
#

it's no worry

#

do you have a power cable yet for it with the molex connector?

#

you will need that, even if data goes over USB.

outer sparrow
#

I do not

long bear
#

That is the point of this thread, to keep all you questions in one please 😃

charred furnace
#

so, that's probably step 1 honestly

#

because you're not going to get very far at all without 24v and gnd to the afc-lite.

outer sparrow
#

ok, do I make that, or purchase it?

charred furnace
#

make it, because we dont' know what the connectors or length is for your printer

outer sparrow
#

I'm planning on mounting to the top

#

Ok, make it. Do I find the instructions on the GitHUb?

charred furnace
#

the pinout for the connector is on the github

#

but connecting it to your printer, is going to be unique. if you can let us know what you have, we can maybe suggestion some options (maybe a shot of the electronics bay wiring on your printer)

#

you don't need to populate the pins for CAN-H and CAN-L since you wont' be using canbus.

outer sparrow
#

I don’t know if that helps?

charred furnace
#

ok, so a basic LDO kit.

outer sparrow
#

Yes, I have the basic kits

#

I think? lol ...

#

Geez, sorry

charred furnace
#

what i would probably do, is connect it directly to the power supply with spade forks for 24v/gnd - stack one fork on another for one of hte 24v terminals.

That, or you could cut the cable, and split in a 3 port wago into the line, so that it goes PSU -> wago -> (octopus, afc-lite)

#

the wires should be 20awg stranded wire

shell fern
#

The printer has a 24V power supply already

#

Just pull power from there.

outer sparrow
#

do I add a wago for clean install, or stack the forks? What would you prefer @shell fern ?

shell fern
#

The Molex cable should have been included by LDO

#

Keep in mind that the some of those terminal blocks and the SSR are all wired for 110VAC, so don't tap in there assuming it's 24V like many printers are.

outer sparrow
#

I wont just randomly tap

#

and no, its not inlcuded. Must be made.

shell fern
#

LOL, sorry I was panicking that you'd already serviced printers are all 24V.

#

There's no molex connector included at all? That doesn't sound LDO-ish, but you could be right.

charred furnace
#

but no cable

outer sparrow
#

Oh, this lol

shell fern
#

Go ahead and add WAGOs at your preference @outer sparrow

#

I have WAGOs here if you don't

outer sparrow
#

I think a wago would be clean and add a spot if we expand in the future.

#

I don't have them, no. I can order, or you can drop when youre around next. I'm at that stage now lol so I'm at a stop.

shell fern
# outer sparrow

OK, it's not too bad of a mess under there! Whew! Showing your cable management is like showing your underwear drawer- people will judge you no matter what's in there.

outer sparrow
#

LOL

#

@charred furnace I have a question about the tool head. I believe a cutter is required there? Can you give me a bit more info about that? Or point me to somewhere I can read about whats needed.

shell fern
#

They're not too pricey. I'll get you back if you want to source them.

outer sparrow
#

I think we should be fine with whats sent already. I'll order some 3 port now.

charred furnace
outer sparrow
#

ok, so I see a filamatrix bag in the kit.

#

does that mean I'm good? I just need to print and install?

charred furnace
#

pretty much yes

outer sparrow
#

badass

charred furnace
#

if you have questions ,just let us know

long bear
#

And that is in the manual online as well

charred furnace
outer sparrow
#

I really appreciate your help @charred furnace

charred furnace
#

this has a printed parts wizard

outer sparrow
#

thanks

shell fern
outer sparrow
#

ok awesome.... were rockin and rolling

#

Oh crap, I'll need some wire for the molex too. 20awg

shell fern
#

So... the Stealthburner on Decker has a metal Voron Tap, as well as Nitehawk and Revo Voron hotend.

shell fern
outer sparrow
#

not a worry man, were on the same page.

#

@charred furnace do you have a suggestions for wires? or a harness?

shell fern
outer sparrow
#

Fantastic lol

#

orange and black please haha

#

actually

#

white/grey/black

#

thats the first one

charred furnace
#

but, it's what is needed 🤷‍♂️

shell fern
#

@outer sparrow won't you be installing in Decker first?

charred furnace
# outer sparrow <@397432363593891872> do you have a suggestions for wires? or a harness?
KB-3D

The CF9 series Chainflex Control cable from IGUS is designed for use inside or outside of an energy / drag chain. CF9-05-04 has four conductors at 20AWG (0.5mm). Sold per linear foot.

shell fern
#

We can always swap the Box Turtles around later so they match their final partner.

outer sparrow
#

ok fair

#

so orange/black please

#

lol

shell fern
#

Which printer is to be paired with the current BT?

shell fern
outer sparrow
#

I thought the one on the left or the one on the right

shell fern
#

Sounds good

#

The leftmost is "Triumph" and is monochrome so that's perfect. Ivy on the far right has some green going on, so it would be nice to get some green in her BT.

outer sparrow
#

ok great, that works.

shell fern
#

Do I need the short arm or the regular arm for the cutter I wonder?

outer sparrow
#

@charred furnace any insight on the short or long arm?

charred furnace
#

I use the long arm, more leverage for the cut

outer sparrow
#

great. thank you

shell fern
#

I should probably already know this, but what is source of the actuation force on the cutter?

charred furnace
#

a pin that is mounted to the gantry

#

for example

shell fern
#

OH! how freaking clever is that?!?

charred furnace
#

can't take credit for the original idea 🙂

#

we just cleaned up the repo and made it easier to figure out what to print, along with a few other quality of life modifications.

shell fern
#

Love the STL selector page. Holy crap the LDO guys and pretty much everyone else could learn a lot from that.

outer sparrow
#

It really is very well done

shell fern
#

The sensorless homing does not have submillimetre precision, so I hope it consistently finds that pin

charred furnace
#

I (and LDO) can't take credit for that STL wizard, that's the work of another voron contributor

charred furnace
shell fern
#

Wired endstop cables constantly breaking- those cables were the weakest part of the design IMO. After about 4 replacements in 3 months I was like- that's it, I'm going sensorless

outer sparrow
#

Theres gotta be a solution for that (were just assuming itll be an issue) ... and if there isnt, we will create one.

charred furnace
#

if you are using cable chains, you can do separate x and y endstop sthat do not go through the cable chains

#

but - I think sensorless will likely be fine/accurate enough, provided you have it tuned well

shell fern
#

We will certainly share anything we learn.

outer sparrow
charred furnace
#

that'd also be fine

#

do you have fork connectors?

#

and crimpers for them?

outer sparrow
#

I don’t. Perfect, thanks

charred furnace
#

I prefer the PA-24s personally but the IWISS/iCrimp are also fine.

outer sparrow
#

Ok awesome

charred furnace
#

these are useful tools that will serve you well beyond boxturtle, getting these + crimps/connectors was one of best purchases I made, as it lets me fix problems with my printers 🙂

outer sparrow
#

I have 5 kits to build so I appreciate the tips

long bear
#

Dang 5 box turtles, sounds like fun

charred furnace
#

who do you think you are, @magic basalt

outer sparrow
#

lol 😂

outer sparrow
outer sparrow
#

@charred furnace This looks like it could be perfect for the 24V. I’ll cut and put in 2, 3 port wagos and mount them to the extrusion. Just thought I’d touch base.

outer sparrow
outer sparrow
#

Got to this point and restarted klipper and got errors starting with LED. Is this simply because nothing is plugged in yet? @charred furnace

charred furnace
#

yes, the errors are dumb. it's what happens when there's no 24v power/steppers/etc on the board

outer sparrow
#

I did enter serial in btw

#

Ok perfect… building filamatrix today .. had to wait on connectors not included in rev a … but should be almost ready to rock

#

Appreciate the help so far @charred furnace

charred furnace
#

no problem

outer sparrow
#

@charred furnace I think this is the best way to pull filamatrix through the existing cable chain. I have a nice fishwife from my daily job….. or should I rip it all apart?

charred furnace
#

cable in chains needs to be rated for chains

#

not just any random cable 🙂

outer sparrow
#

Shit

charred furnace
#

do you not have a tool head board?

outer sparrow
#

Pi in tool head?

charred furnace
#

no - like a break out board

#

or do all your wires run back to your electronics bay through chain

outer sparrow
#

No breakout board unless installed under which @shell fern would know

#

Unless you see here

#

Sorry @charred furnace I wish I had more info

#

Any help I appreciate

long bear
#

what does your toolhead board look like, from the cable in your cable chains it looks like you might be running a nitehawk sb or something similiar

charred furnace
#

yes - in which case you just need to run wires to pins on that board. probably the XY end stop port

long bear
#

and this right here means you are running a toolhead board

outer sparrow
#

Ok So... the Stealthburner on Decker has a metal Voron Tap, as well as Nitehawk and Revo Voron hotend.

#

Updated info @long bear

#

and @charred furnace

#

Still take a photo of the board or?

long bear
#

I think you have a nitehawk sb, but you should verify. If you do these ports may be free to use depending on what you already have connected

outer sparrow
#

If that’s the case, I don’t have to run wires to the TB?

long bear
#

correct

outer sparrow
#

Ho Lee shit

#

That’s the way everyone should do it, no?

#

Just looking at that schematic .. would I have to solder all that? Or there connectors? @long bear

long bear
#

the pins in the lower left you would have to solder

#

connection would be between one of the gpios and gnd

charred furnace
#

use the xy end stop port if it’s open

#

it makes for easier service

outer sparrow
#

Sensorless so those should be free and I can connector to them

#

Wait… can I wire I connector in there? @charred furnace

#

At the gnd x y 5v ? Or @long bear

long bear
#

dont use the 5v, needs to be between gnd and x or y gpio

outer sparrow
#

Either or? X or y

#

@charred furnace Can we get a verify? lol before I blast my board

#

I’m all good with the rest of it. Just this portion makes me nervous for some reason lol. I’m a mechanic that builds engines by hand with fluid dynamics and all lol. But this makes me nervous for whatever reason. Haha

#

Do I have to rip this whole thing apart?

charred furnace
#

you’ll need to rebuild the toolhead with the new parts yes

#

steve does the full filamatrix build here. he wires it to the probe port but you can use XY endstop on the X and GND pins

shell fern
#

Hopefully all the SB upgrades are compatible.

charred furnace
#

they should be

#

stock ldo kits from rev c and onwards are pretty easy

#

it’s the rev A ones Which are more difficult

outer sparrow
charred furnace
#

you don'tt thought

#

if you're running nitehawk

outer sparrow
#

ahhhh … that puts us steps ahead

charred furnace
#

Rev A LDO kits

from like 2023 and prior

void lavaBOT
#

freyfreak.: Sorry, I thought you were referring to rev A I can't read not Rev A Voron build.

#

freyfreak.: Rev a I can't read *

outer sparrow
#

I broke the thread lol…. What did I do?

charred furnace
#

it's proper name is boxturtle 😉

outer sparrow
#

Lmfao, that’s awesome. My apologies lol. @charred furnace

charred furnace
#

no worries 😉

#

it's just a little nudge of gentle encouragement in good fun.

outer sparrow
#

Without digging deep myself, do you mind if I ask what your role in all this is @charred furnace? You’re extremely helpful and willing to share the knowledge. It’s very neat within a project like this.

charred furnace
#

cringe as I watch myself here but I go over the 'origin story' here

outer sparrow
charred furnace
#

also, @past harbor and Steve both told me I wasn't allowed to quit. 🫠

outer sparrow
#

Haha maybe after I get a couple of these kits under my belt I’ll be able to help a few people out myself. I do know I’m spreading the word

#

Ok, back to the help thread.

past harbor
#

I make things but don’t like people
Queue thunderkeys
🙃

outer sparrow
#

The first thing I notice about that video is Filametrix vs Filamatrix.

#

I have the rev a filametrix kit @charred furnace

charred furnace
#

the bom is the same

#

so you'll have everything (and more) to build it, aside from possibly heatsets.

outer sparrow
#

Ok awesome. I have a lot of the heatsets.

outer sparrow
#

@charred furnace Hey there man! I feel like I'm SO close but might be dealing with something silly. I have a happy turtle in console and just completed the filametrix... I went with single sensor and wired to the gnd and gpio13 as suggested. I'm trying to test that switch in the console and no matter what I can't get a response to show up. Should I start taking this thing back apart or? I could SWEAR i hear the switch engaging like all the other ones, but I feel like I'm going nuts now lol.

charred furnace
#

do you have a multimeter?

outer sparrow
#

I do yep, I was thinking that... resistence across the 2 pins and insert filament ?

charred furnace
#

put it in continuity/beep mode and see if the beep goes away when you insert filament (assuming you wired the switch normally closed/NC)

#

(outer two pins)

outer sparrow
#

outer 2 pins yeah.

outer sparrow
#

No beep at all @charred furnace ... I checked against the spare switch to ensure my meter was working and checked resistance fine on that one. Faulty switch?

outer sparrow
charred furnace
#

or faulty solder joint, crimp

#

disassembly time 🙂

outer sparrow
#

haha yep, already there. It's weird... I take the switch out... it tests fine... its like its being closed in the cavity at all times but im sure im installing it the correct way and the ballbearing seems to move fine

#

user error, something silly.... but I'm not sure what.

#

I feel SO close to printing LOL

long bear
#

You using the right size ball bearing? 5.5mm I think that's what it's supposed to be

outer sparrow
#

lemme double check the manual.

#

maybe I put the 5.5mm in there, ohhhhhhhh

#

yeah! that FilamAtrix manual says 5.5mm

outer sparrow
#

so its not the bearing ... its being engaged inside the cavity. Frig

#

The cavity looks fine to me though… lol 😂 this is funny for something so small throughout the whole build

charred furnace
#

it is 5.5mm for this

outer sparrow
#

The inside of the cavity is fairly perfectly printed it looks… this is with no ball bearing

#

I feel like it’s that ledge but I also feel pretty stupid right now LOL. 😂..

charred furnace
#

you uh

#

did screw in the switch,r ight

outer sparrow
#

The first time yep, but before I get to the point of screwing it in you can see/hear it’s closing within the cavity

#

Without a ball bearing or filament in the path.

#

That’s ball bearing and filament. The switch is hitting that ledge and closing as it’s inserted into the cavity. Any further engagement does nothing cause it’s already closed. Hence my issues in the klipper…

charred furnace
#

what ledge?

#

the filament is supposed to push the ball up to trigger the switch

outer sparrow
#

yep, I know. the trigger mechanism of the switch hits the ledge you can see (easier in the photo without the bearing) when inserted into the cavity and closes the switch.

charred furnace
#

this?

outer sparrow
#

no. in the cavity in front of the bearing hole

#

in that zoom you can see it very clear.

#

thats where the switch activation mechanism rests - closing the switch .... I'm thinking it should rest (end) over the hole.

#

wait a second....... in that schematic you sent the switch has no lever

charred furnace
#

ohhhh

#

here's yoru problem

#

you have to remove the levers....

outer sparrow
#

LOOOOLLLL

charred furnace
#

they still ship the kits with the levers fvor filamatrix though

outer sparrow
#

this whole time youre probably like ..... "this guy is something else"

#

hahaha thats some funny stuff

#

thank you sir.

charred furnace
#

I will get a note added to page 10

outer sparrow
#

Awesome, thats where I missed it!

outer sparrow
#

@charred furnace should I run a bowden calibration to try and force seeing that sensor? I can't get it to show up any normal way or in gui. (lanes calibrations all green - happy turtle)

charred furnace
#

no

#

does it read right with a mutlimeter now?

outer sparrow
#

yup

charred furnace
#

what do you have defined as the pin in AFC.cfg?

#

er, AFC_Hardware.cfg

outer sparrow
#

[AFC_extruder extruder]
pin_tool_start: ^!nhk:gpio13
#pin_tool_end: None

long bear
#

If you enable enable_sensors_in_gui in AFC.cfg file it will show up in your web gui

outer sparrow
#

I did that and dont see it after restart

long bear
#

It's there Tool Start

outer sparrow
#

and easiest way see if the switch itself is functioning? Or just being there means its ok

#

Lots of learning lol, I appreciate it as always.

long bear
outer sparrow
#

Still says empty 😦

#

but I hear the click and it reads fine on the multimeter

long bear
#

dumb question but you sure its the right gpio in your config file?

outer sparrow
#

the afchardware.cfg ... afc.cfg or printer.cfg?

long bear
#

in AFC_hardware.cfg for pin_tool_start

outer sparrow
#

[AFC_extruder extruder]
pin_tool_start: ^!nhk:gpio13
#pin_tool_end: None

#

Xy end - right side

long bear
#

Did you connect one of the wires to GND?

outer sparrow
#

yup. I soldered to the switch and pinned to a connector

#

2 outside on the switch and gnd & gpio13

long bear
#

what happens if you remove !

outer sparrow
#

lmfao

long bear
#

Nice!!

outer sparrow
#

why did that fix it?

#

LOL

long bear
#

! inverts the signal and ^ is a pullup, so GND cannot overcome the inverted signal I think.

outer sparrow
#

geez, thats interesting. Much appreciated. That brings me one step closer to printing! I really dont think im far now.

long bear
#

I dont even know if that makes sense though lol

shell fern
#

This is a super helpful group

outer sparrow
#

It sure is. Thats awesome. Have a good one @long bear

Alrighty, a new one lol... Im doing tool changes and for the first one it etruded the poop no problem. Now its doing them successfully as I watch but no extrusion OR pooping?

long bear
#

you may need to increase your tool_stn value then

charred furnace
#

yes -- sounds liike it's not priming the nozzle enough before hte purge starts.

outer sparrow
#

ok awesome, I'll have a look. any suggested increment levels?

long bear
charred furnace
#

what is your tool_stn currently?

outer sparrow
#

its not poop at all right now but the changes are going smoothly lol

#

ool_stn: 35 # Distance in mm from the toolhead sensor to the tip of the nozzle in mm, if tool_end is defined then distance is from this sensor
tool_stn_unload: 52 # Distance to move in mm while unloading toolhead
tool_sensor_after_extruder: 0 # Extra distance to move in mm once pre/post sensors are clear. Useful for when only using post sensor, so this distance can be the amout to move to clear extruder gears
tool_unload_speed: 25 # Unload speed in mm/s when unloading toolhead. Default is 25mm/s.
tool_load_speed: 25 # Load speed in mm/s when unloading toolhead. Default is 25mm/s.

charred furnace
#

that's too low

#

well

outer sparrow
#

Alright, so I'll look into lane 3 physically tomorrow. Appreciate that @charred furnace. I'm still going to try and get the other 3 going for tonight. I'm still not getting any poop on change ... tool_stn @ 60

charred furnace
#

can try bumping higher, based on your retractand pushback

#

bump it until you get filament oozing out after the load completes but before it goes to do the purge .. can always shrink

outer sparrow
#

up to 80 and still nothing .. is there another way I should check this like manually extruding ? @charred furnace ?

charred furnace
#

post your configs please (AFC/*) as well as your AFC.log file

outer sparrow
#

how do I access my log file?

#

That?

long bear
#

Machine then click on the drop down and choose logs

outer sparrow
charred furnace
#

so you're just poopin' in the wind? 🙂

outer sparrow
#

LOL what?

charred furnace
#

there's no kick or wipe enabled

#

just purge

#

with the stock poop macro

outer sparrow
#

I turned those off in plans to use purge in prints. I have no space for kick or poop in this printer

charred furnace
#

right, but ... what happens ot the poop

#

🙂

outer sparrow
#

it stays there or I pull it off for now during testing ..... are you saying .... what i did, turned it off? Sorry, i can be dim at times LOOOL

charred furnace
#

I'm saying - if your plan is to pruge to a prime tower/object

turn off the poop function entirely

#
poop: False # Disable Poop.

in AFC/AFC.cfg

outer sparrow
#

haha I just left it on to test the lane swaps lol

charred furnace
#

in any case

#

let's try this

#

heat to temp, load a lane

outer sparrow
charred furnace
#

try and manually extrude 50-100mm - does it work

outer sparrow
#

hmmmm

#

it does not

charred furnace
#

make sure your stealthburner latch is shut ...

outer sparrow
#

open and closed it ...... still nothing.

charred furnace
#

it should be extrudingw hen you tell it to extrude

#

if it is not - that is probably not a boxturtle thing...

#

doulbe check everything with CW2 - gear meshing, grub screws, no cracked parts, tension set appropriately, etc

you can verify all of this by unloading from the toolhead ... then disabling AFC by commenting out [include AFC/*.cfg] in printer.cfg ... and testing your extrusion stuff that way

outer sparrow
#

ok sounds good. much appreciated

outer sparrow
#

So, it’s ended up being the “connection” between the top and bottom. Where the cut happens. The 2 holes weren’t lined up as well as they should be and it was causing the filament changes to get caught there. Hence the no dribbles or poop or anything from the extruded.

#

I’ve got them lined up to the point of 85% lane swap success. It seems to be majority lane 4 for me lol.

outer sparrow
#

Also, where can I find the file for press on wheels? I’ve been looking but I cannot find them.

outer sparrow
#

Thank you sir!

outer sparrow
#

Happy Easter everyone! Hope you're having a good day! OK... So I rebuilt lanes 3 and 4 with better wheels - no more slipping on the shaft. NOW... the problem I'm getting is upon loading a filament its loading JUST enough to trigger the hub switch and staying there.... Showing a green LED .... But preventing me from running a "T1" command for example ... and I also cannot re run the AFC_CALIBRATION because I'm stuck in this loop on all lanes.... - I tried to comment in this line I saw not doing anything in Turtle_1.cfg. (hub_clear_move_dis: 25 # Distance after hub switch becomes fast to retract to insure hub is clear) But it dint actually enable a retract lol - so i just commented it back out.

disable load to hub?

#

or use LANE_MOVE to move it back some so you can do calibration.

#

or manually reduce lengths hy maybe 10mm in turtle 1 cfg

the hub_clear_move_dis only applies when unloading a lane

Ahhh… hmmm 🤔

#

reducing your dist_hub like thunder suggested will solve your problem when loading spools in

Alrighty...... lol, a bit of a weird one here..... I'm so damn close its wild...I followed the initial start guide for setting up Orca. What would cause the print movements to go all wacky after the tool change? the print movements are normal and smooth before the tool change, then after, theyre SO FAST and SO JERKY.... at first it was actually looking like little frog jumps ... I disabled the zhop on retraction in Orca - so it doesnt do little hops to every next print position but those movements are insanely fast and jerky now. Not nice. I've been looking at my configs and everything but I'm stumped.

Maybe accelerations not getting reset properly

#

What does it read in mainsail?

outer sparrow
#

as far as velocity or? What information can I give you?

#

max_velocity: 500.000000
max_accel: 10000.000000
minimum_cruise_ratio: 0.500000
square_corner_velocity: 12.000000

#

thats after running SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT ....but I'm not sure if thats what you're asking.

outer sparrow
#

btw ... I apologize ahead of time .... I can build anything lol, that part is my strength. Still doing my best to learn quickly on the config side of things.

what’s it showing as the accelerations and velocities in mainsail or fluidd before and after the tool change

outer sparrow
#

ok im starting a test print ... i'll run that command before and after ... correct?

charred furnace
#

you don’t have to run any command

#

you just have to use your eyeballs

#

there’s a machine panel in mainsail at least which reports the current values

outer sparrow
#

lmfao I just saw that ... sorry to onfig deep after last night LOL

#

before - velocity: 500 accel: 500 squ corner:9 min cruise: 50
tool - velocity: 500 accel: 4000 squ corner: 12 cruise: 50
after " "

so its not resetting the speed correctly after tool change

#

interesting.

charred furnace
#

500 accels are …. extremely slow for a voron

#

maybe a video of the behavior?

outer sparrow
#

haha yeah, we have it set pretty conservatively

#

i'll get one shortly after i get this sorted out

outer sparrow
#

do you think my problem lies in Cut.cfg? @charred furnace

#

or the point at which the saved accel is happening?

charred furnace
#

I don't know. post your configs and gcode you are using.
