@storm blade Are you willing to help me with it

I doubt you’ll need help, it’s very simple to setup
astral current
I will give it a shot for sure
astral current
Time to look into spoolman

@astral current Lets bring this here so other <@&1304550334839918672> can jump in on this, I'm about to head to bed.
Current the TN is stuck out while printing
glass agate
Did you get A4T installed? Or are you still using JW?
glass agate
Is the drive gear on your JW completely fine? I know there was a bunch of those having issues, which with your under-extrusion looking issue you had earlier, I'm curious about
astral current
its was just a z offset ..
astral current
Is the drive gear on your JW completely fine? I know there was a bunch of those ...
Very little wear on the gear ... i have seen a few destroyed gears
Never compress
barren hedge
can you manaully upload your AFC.log here please
astral current
While printing ?
barren hedge
you can download it while printing, just don't run the debug script
barren hedge
you just download it manually from mainsail, its in the same spot as your klippy log
barren hedge
Got to where your configuration files are at, you should see the AFC.log and have the option to download
astral current
Dont see any log file
astral current
Ill have to remember that
barren hedge
Could you just download the log as not a zip, or unzip it and just upload the log
astral current
Yes both are working
random arch
You need to check when it’s not printing if both sensors are working. Only one sensor when compressed, no sensors in the middle, and only one when expanded. And let us know which sensors are triggered in the different states.
astral current
Yes both are working
Stop print job. Buffer compress back in
And compressed is triggered
swift hill
Can you run the debug script again so we can see the current state of things?
jaunty birchBOT
Please run this debugging script when not printing and post the resulting link in chat.
astral current
Running now
Also noticed thata when printing a job it takes 2 skirt rounds to get any filament to start
not uploading t o termbin
rebooting
random arch
And compressed is triggered
How about expanded though, when you pull the buffer out, and if compressed is ONLY triggered when actually compressed
astral current

Expanded shows triggerd when expanded
random arch
And compressed is no longer triggered in that state?
astral current
both are showing
random arch
If compressed is showing up when you’re expanded this is the problem. This is most likely to be a loose solder joint on that sensor
astral current
if i mnual move it, it works correct
looks like its getting atuck maybe a 0.1m out
astral current
Both sensor stilll howing detected for both expanded and compressed when only loading filament ..soemthing else I need to check
Warning: Both advance and trailing switches are triggered on Buffer Turtle_1. Please check your buffer switches or configuration.
random arch
Did you try to touch up the soldering on the wires.
storm blade
but if they are EVER both showing detected something is wrong with wiring.
What have you done to this since you got your serial?
storm blade
I know you've had the V2's Gantry all apart. has the BT been ontop the whole time?
astral current
on top whole time
See how far its sticking out
Manual move it switches back n forth
random arch
Manual move it switches back n forth
This statement is ambiguous, and seemingly at odds with observations that both switches remain triggered with the buffer fully extended.
astral current
This statement is ambiguous, and seemingly at odds with observations that both s...
Just stretched out the buffer maybe 1mm and the sensoer expanded ( detected )
random arch
Ok, what about the compressed switch?
astral current
same if i go the other way compressed ( deteced )
random arch
Are they both triggered at the same time or not
astral current
its saying it is now
random arch
They you need to touch up the soldering on joints of the compressed switch, and if that’s not enough we’ll have to go through the crimp connections.
astral current
I touched up the alll the wiring and all i Get now is Compressed detected while printing
random arch
Do I understand correctly, compressed is still staying on all the time regardless of whether that switch is actually being pushed or not?
astral current
if i manual push it out it switches
astral current
thats correct
random arch
great, I think you're ok then. The springs aren't perfect, the filament will do the rest of the job to collapse the buffer if it needs to
"hopefully" (famous last words)
astral current
I make short video
random arch
at least, the switch shouldn't get stuck in the extended position like it did before
so you should have solved the issue that started this most recent discussion
storm blade
The clicking? That’s just retractions
astral current
ok
Im printing a voron cube right now it hasn't budge at all yet staying fully compress the whole time. So I take it thats normal
storm blade
What does the GUI show?
astral current
storm blade
What does it say the buffer is doing above your spools?
storm blade
Hmm that doesn’t seem right
storm blade
Do you have something weird In your print_end?
storm blade
That’s slicer not what’s actually in the macro
Come on man you’ve been doing voron long enough to know that
astral current
ok let me check
sorry

storm blade
And what do you think needs to happen?
astral current
remove the code
astral current
I think I might have a wiring issue above the filament rolls says advancing but the compressed is detected
storm blade
That would be correct, once it touches the compressed switch then it should advance (out run the toolhead)
@barren hedge that is correct right?
barren hedge
Correct, I had to double check
Example outputs:
Turtle_1: Trailing (buffer is compressing) - buffer is moving from the Advance trigger to the Trailing.
Turtle_1: Advancing (buffer is expanding) - buffer is moving from the Trailing trigger to the Advance.
can you take a video of the gui with the two switches for the buffer when you manually push and pull the buffer between its two ends? I want to make sure we’re all aligned on this
When you take the video, say which state you’ve moved the buffer into
astral current
I went ahead and replaced the switches and brand new wiring. Now compressed is showing while trailing is showing above the filament rolls
Ill make a video tomorrow ... printing another Vvoron cube Hub never expanded to advancing., Stayed in compressed / Trailing
storm blade
On this cube or the last one?
astral current
on this cube
storm blade
Currently printing?
storm blade
Picture of what it looks like? If it’s staying compressed I would expect it to be way under extruded
storm blade
👍🏻
astral current
Thanks for the help
