I guess I should be asking if it's the same motion. Like you just push down on the pneumatic one. I haven't used the ECAS fittings
Oh yes. Same motion but smaller travel.
I just find it awkward pressing it down with my fat fingers.
Oh gotcha, makes sense. I know there is a little tool people have made that can be printed to help with those. Or at least I'm pretty sure I have.
There is yes.
Everything shows I can do 56v with step sticks in my build. M8p v2 uses 63v caps, the btt tmc5160t pro drivers are capable of 56v, and the m8p v2 has a motor power in capable of 60v. I might just go btt 5160t pro drivers and 56v in the end just cause.
I’m thinking in the end I’ll have 2 uhp-350 psus. I think that’ll be a good combo in this thing. Fit in the same space as the lrs-200 I currently have.
UHP realy are smol PSU's
No kidding. Lmao.
you could go with 36v + 2240s for a very quiet printer 😅
Yea. This isn’t gonna be quiet. 6 steppers on the gantry + CPAP.
oh wow yea .. it wont haha :D
Plus the Z drives which may also go high voltage. So yea. No point in quiet. Just wear noise canceling headphones instead. 🤣
I just removed the tap carriage from the X rail. 3 out of 4 screws were loose. No wonder I had issues with artifacts on my prints. Looking forward to the cnc mount and using loctite to attach it instead. Solved the issue for my micron. Should solve it again on Hexdent.
The tap 3d printed one? Darn I thought I might go that route if I went tap. XD
The printed tap carriage is the one that was mounted. I’m going to be mounting carto cnc carriage instead. Which lets me use loctite without issue. Since screws aren’t going through abs.
Is that carriage for SB or does it fit other toolheads?
SB but Reaper does show it can fit on the same carriage.
Otherwise I wouldn’t have ordered it. Lol.
Oh I see what you mean now. Gotcha makes sense. I often forget actual loctite will melt plastics. There is a plastic safe thread lock. Though the name is slipping right now.
VC-3
Vc 3 assuming that the solvent has fully dried out
Hexdent has a carto and cnc mount!
Waiting on a couple things to print then we are finally gonna get it belted.
You should try the monolith mod I was working on for that carriage 
Nah. I have hex drive. Not monolith.
6 motors > 4 motors. 😆
What is your mod btw?
Just allows you to use a cnc carriage on monolith 2wd and awd
Ahhh. What’s it look like?
And I’m gonna ask the dumb question. What’s the problem with cnc and monolith?
Belt path. Where the belt comes in, on standard monolith the belt is 3mm (don’t quote me, it’s been awhile) closer to the front of the printer that stock Voron belts
So the cnc mount needs a spacer to bring it forward slightly then?
I just modified monolith for the carriage. Had to change the belt path slightly on the xy joints
Ahhh. Okay. Makes sense. I guess I shall be seeing if the same needs to happen to hex drive soon.
Does it use the same belt path as standard Voron?
Not in the slightest. Hex drive has flipped belts and mounts the motors on the outside of the printer. Plus it has y assist motors.
Oh boy, do they have cad? I’d look into throwing the cnc carriage in that cad and see what you are running into
I do and I could. Or I could just mount it and find out. Lol.
@shut sundial Now that’s a deracked gantry. 😆
That slides niiiice
And now the fun part. Belting it.
You gotta stop showing me all of this, I’ll end up ordering that new frame tomorrow lol
You should. 
I have a dumb question, What is the reason for the "2WD" variant of the AWD mod?
In case you don’t have 4 motors. Or if you don’t need 4 motors.
I guess I thought the whole point of the AWD was to have 4 motors. didn't realize there was more to it.
Well. Monolith is a AWD or a 2WD mod. So it’s an optional thing to add.
I got the belt through!
I was cheap and did the 2wd
For the moment
First belt run. Now to remove it and cut the second to the exact same length.
Okay. So. Belts are cut. That used almost half the 10m of belts I bought. 😅
Ohhh I see. Gotcha. Didn't realize it was a monolith thing. Thought that was something else not related at all. I really need to stop reading about mods at 3 am knee deep in a migraine. (an increasing thing so just not at 3am) 😂
You do know it’s not 3am right? I mean anywhere in the US it’s not 3am yet.
When I read about the 2wd & 4wd mods it was 2 or 3 am I think.
Going to be honest though, it's 2 hours past what I thought it was so for all I know I'm in a time loop.
@shut sundial @viral briar Well. It’s time for me to go to work but…
It’s finally belted! None of the pulleys are tight right now on purpose and belts are currently tensioned to 2.8 to let them stretch while I work on other things on it.
Just AWD is belted for now.
Awesome!
I'm a bit late but. I love the green.
That is every motor and thermistor currently on the printer. Connected to the boards. Now to add a toolhead and start the fun process of getting it moving again.
How much do you charge to wire printers?
$1000. 
Looks like mine are staying rats nests lol
I have a toolhead!
Green was cool, creeped to much past 60-65+ chamber. Replacing it all with pet-cf and psu now
Just a few things on the canbus. Lol
I need to make a y endstop before I can continue with the movement things but I will just say for now. The printer does move! It homes in the X direction but obviously not Y yet.
And thus the temp list has begun!
The manta octo wombo-combo is amazing, love it
All this speed and doing SB?
No chamber? :p
Second board is a monster8 v2.
For now. Waiting on funds to go reaper.
Not yet. Out of thermistors. Lol.
Ohh it just looked like an octo to me nvm
therm^2?
Ahhh I see
Not out of ports. Just out of thermistors themselves.
Oh lol. Time to find the cheapo ones on amazon that are like $5 for 20 of them
Are you using drivers with temperature sensors?
Not yet. Those motor temps are thermistors attached to the motors themselves.
Alright
That's the worst lol
I hate running out of stuff
It’s alive! (Still missing a y endstop). 500mm/s at 20k just as a test. Lol. The back of the gantry belts are moving up and down and I’m not sure why yet.
Shaky table lol
I think it’s more the 1lb toolhead. Lol.
I’m actually running the graphs now. I’m curious what they initially look like.
I feel like they aren't gonna be to high tbh
Still a heavy toolhead lol
Send them though I wanna see
2.8 tension on the belts and AWD. They are gonna pretty good for a 350. Lol.
And this is before I add the Y assist motors.
Well shit. The X looks pretty damn good. 🤣
Let's see it
Y looks... Not great. But also pretty good too. Lol.
X is definitely solid
And for reference. This is the old.
Y might look better if I run with carto adxl instead of sb2209 adxl.
Oh yeah always run closest and stiffest relative to nozzle
Worth it. 😆
Yea I literally just need to order the bearings
But I think I need to take apart my entire gantry something is making a funny noise
So maybe when I do that
Time to actually give my printer a y endstop before I continue. So far I’ve been using the set kinematic position command to home it. Lol. I wanna setup carto and to do that I need endstops.
Yea
My belts make a funny squeaky noise coming from one of my motor mounts, some idlers or something
When I eventually rerun IS with the carto adxl it’s gonna be a wild difference. The carto is directly mounted to the cnc X carriage. So it’s not gonna budge while running the vibration stuff. Lol.
You should see mine
I ran everything though the chain and didn't realize mf3 doesn't fit through
That’s a pg13 that is now completely stuffed full of wires. And at some point I’ll need to pass 2 more wires through it too. Lol.
I made the y endstop bumper 1mm too short. 🤦
I think I also stripped something so I need to reprint it lol
Hmm there is an image for this that I probably can't post.
So many temps. Klipper screen going to look crazy XD
Klipper screen doesn’t exist. 
XD Going full headless?
For now. Lol
@viral briar @shut sundial Oh so close to a first print!
What’s the machine accel?
It is shaking like crazy
20k for now. I haven’t tested higher. 500mm/s and 30scv.
Soooo when Benchy?
So fast lmao
He’s just getting started lol
Probably in the next couple days. Need to calibrate carto and run pid tuning for everything.
And this is 24v. I’m planning on eventually going with 56v. Lol. Just not with this toolhead. That’s for sure.
Didn’t have issues with the cnc carriage?
I was thinking of trying to get some CPAP on my micron but I'm afraid it's gonna be to loud lol, I'm outrunning the rapid burner cooling
Not any that will be an issue to using the printer. Mainly just the fact the teeth on the cnc carriage on the back of it so the belts go from the to the back which pulls them forward a bit at the carriage. But they don’t rub on anything even when at x max/min.
I’ll be putting CPAP on this printer soon. Just waiting for pay day and I’m ordering it.
Which one are you getting?
The btt turbo kit
I haven't looked for a Goliath and CPAP toolhead yet though lol
That's the same one I was thinking of
So it the belt goes in from the front and exits out the back
I’ll be using reaper. Supports Goliath and CPAP.
Yep. That way the belt teeth are being clamped in the teeth on the cnc carriage.
Since this has flipped belts. That’s the only way to do it.
That’s exactly how I have monolith. But it does seem like your getting some pretty good charts, might have to look into that mod in the future
I’m sitting here wondering why 2 of the 6 stepper thermistors aren’t getting warm. Cause it’s the y assist steppers I haven’t belted or configured yet. 🤣
So far. I’m loving this thing. I have taken incredibly great care in ensure everything is right though. Including mechanically syncing the motors. Which impressively. Is incredibly easy.
This is what I have gotten to… it was also recorded on beacon adxl
Nice! I’ll be doing mine on carto adxl either in a few or tomorrow.
I’m still using 2wd 
What size printer though?
Nice! Keep in mind. Hexdrive won’t work on the v2. Lol. (Not that it’s released yet anyways. 😅)
Motors mounted outside printer. 😆
I’m also using gt3 belts at gt2 belt tensions as well as missing 2 belts atm.
Oh yeah, that ain’t gonna work. It’s also gonna be quite heavy for the z motors to lug around
I’m gonna be putting my whole build plate on belts soon. I think that’s a bit heavier. 🤣
I have to rerun IS… I forgot I just set my SCV to 30. Lol. Need it set to set 5 for the graphs.
Also I still haven’t run belt shaper…
And these belts are brand new so they haven’t even worn in yet. Lmao.
I am running IS things in all the wrong conditions.
And here is the new graphs with carto adxl. @shut sundial Y may still have 3 peaks but we have more accel now! Triple what it was stock!
Oooh, yeah X is quite clean and 75Hz isnt bad at all
Y may have to do with umbilical, but I assume it will get better when you add the Y assist stuff
Could always ping Reth or spitz lol, they know more than me
I haven’t printed anything yet. I don’t want them to judge without a print. 🤣
Part of it could also be no filament loaded.
There is also that
You'd get yelled at in their helping tone lol
In my opinion Y graphs from a stealthburner toolhead are just showing the toolhead rotation around the x axis. No matter what gantry it's on . At higher accels toolhead weight balance matters way more than motion componenets.
Very amateur of me to forget about how COM affects IS...
I think you can confirm this by changing belt tension and seeing which peaks on the graph move. If a peak stays the same than that peak is normally related to com. I think.
Its so complicated too. Even adxl location can hide or exagerate COM issues.
Good to know. I do know that part of the peaks on my graphs are simply the brand new belts.
Question is now. Y assist or first print? What to do first.
Y assist ofc
See. I’m thinking about it. 🤣
Except Y assist is already on the printer. I just have to belt it and configure it. Lol.
Lmao. I’m trying to decide while I’m at work.
Is it sad I can hear that in my head. Like in his voice and everything? 🤣
CPAP cooling has been ordered for Hexdent! Whoo!
Don’t forget to reinstall your dragon HF for that😉
I might have a spare 1/16” drill bit, extended length 😋
I haven’t had issues with dragon hf and pla personally. Just seen the horror stories. Lol.
I think it was the obnoxious retraction settings, that were in the voron sample presets I blindly used, that did me in.
I’m using the defaults in orca for a Voron. 😅. Occasionally I’ll remember to change it to 50mm/s retraction/unretraction and nozzle width for length but it’s not often.
What hotend is this build getting?
Another Goliath?
For now dragon hf. Eventually Goliath.
Ah alright
Things have been moving in the background with Hexdent. Gantry is fully belted now with AWD and Y assist. Been playing with input shaper graphs, belt tension, and deciding on a toolhead. Current recommended accels with SB are 20k on X and Y and that’s on a trident 350. Lol.
Faster, if you got 6 motors you might as well use them lol
Oh it does 40k accel easily. But IS accels is what I’m currently looking at. Plus with SB it’s not exactly light so at 40k accel it’s a little aggressive. It can definitely do more but I’m waiting till I mount cooling fans for the tmc2209 drivers before I increase current above 1a and really test the max accel.
@sleek bramble The actual electronics. The bottom has just become a collection of stuff as I move the printer around and crimp all the wires.
looks dope runing 2 mcus ?
or mmu
Needed 9 stepper drivers. M8p only has 8.
cool
That’s coming too. Lol.
i ordered a boxed turtle hope it comes soon
AWD + Y assist. 500mm/s 40k accel iirc. Unless this is the wrong video. 😅
same i got a siboor kit and lemme tell ya best kit i ever got off a voron
I saw that thing. I half considered ordering it but I already have an Ebb36 waiting to go in this printer. Perhaps if I break the Ebb36 I’ll get it.
Mine was a formbot trident 350 kit. It’s now missing about half the formbot provided parts.
io ordered a sht 36 v3 plus lets hope its good
i keep gettting a problem with my ebb36 losing comunication with my carto timing errors and extruder timeouts
i changed the ebb to a dif one and i still get those
recrimped everything nothing works
so im guessing its the carto
btw the cool thing about h36 is that its usb and can
Weird. Im assuming that at some point im gonna need to upgrade my cb1 to the cm4 as I will be running a rather large can bus in the end. The monster8, m8p, sb2209, and carto are currently all on the can bus. I’ll eventually be swapping the sb2209 for the ebb36 and adding a btt mmb for the ercf.
i oredred and orange pi 4 lets hope it does the job aswell
its pretty good from what i heard
It is. My micron+ runs one. They are pretty good.
yep i really really hope its not my carto
Unplug the can wires to your carto. Twist them together a bunch. Then plug them in again.
did that already
Oh. Lol. Well it was a try.
actually used cat 5 cables 2 so properly twisted xD
guess what i fixed xD u wont guess what was the fix
What’d you do?
Forget a jumper?
One too many 0’s? 😆
yep
Nice. So it was the ebb36 and not the carto. Lol.
this was overloading my whole shit
yep
dropped a 0 and its working
Bet you’re glad about that.
Lmao. Upgrades!
I’ll be cutting the xt connector off the cable I’m currently using to go molex. 🤣
ewww

Wen 48v?
When I have money. 🤣
36v and 2240s my beloved
i have high hopes for thouse drivers
Never used them… will be using 2160’s, 24v, on 2804
i havent yet either but i have ordered some for my trident build since @thin kite has praised them a lot for being really damn quiet
I don’t really care for quietness, I like performance 
I have no choice. My printer will be loud. No matter what I do. Steppers outside printer and 6 of them on the gantry. Lol.
out of interest are you staying with stealthburner?
Heck no. Gonna build reaper soon to try out and possibly will end up with a in dev toolhead in the end once I get Goliath.
oh reaper will be a good choice for sure!
Maybe. COM matters more than anything on this gantry.
Did you ask nicely if they could be quiet?
It’s gotta fit carto cnc mount for now. I’ll give it up eventually but not yet.
Could modify the mounting holes
Or you could do xol withcpap
Uses the same mounting as stealthburner
36v 2240
That’s a good option.
I’ll give up the cnc mount once I get vibratite vc3. But it’s gonna be a bit for that since it’s low on my priority list.
If 36v and 2a is not limiting factor for you then 2240 are just better choice than 5160. 5160 are old design, flawed and good luck smashing toolhead at 150mm/s to register sensorless there
I think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWDZLtUeg6o suggest that up to 1000mm/s 36v is okay
chances are if you go with 1.8' stepper over 0.9' it will be even more
or not, not that I understand all this witch craft. I just had few hundreds hours with 5160 and I refuse to use them anymore
My limiting factor is I want 56v for no other reason than the memes. 😆
@fierce forge F it. I’m ordering the tiny tube. It’s only $6. I’m gonna keep the cnc mount for the moment because redoing belt tension is a pain on this thing (there’s 4 total belts on the gantry) and I wanna experiment with a couple different CPAP toolheads first before changing.
More than likely. It would depend on the motor though and your goal accel. For 36v I’d stick around 750mm/s so that your accel doesn’t drop drastically.
Which usermod?
Longneck, let's you run a repackaged BMG extruder in it
I’ll have to check that one out too. Gotta play around with this gantry. I mean seriously. 20k accel recs on IS. Need to find a toolhead that matches with my build.
Archetype, SLM carriage and belt clips, Longneck or Mjolnir
takeoff with chube 
Ew. 😆. Mostly the price tag. Lol.
Also if I went Chube it would be Chube conduction. And that’s an even higher price tag. Lol.
8 electronics bay fans now! The one above the cb1 (that’s not currently spinning) is setup with PID to keep it cool. The rest turn on with the steppers.
Should be able to run much more current on the tmc2209 drivers now.
Hexdent stepper fan control until I add the stepper motor fans:

I would like to add. I’m still using only a 200w psu. 🤣
It's wimdy
I guess you'll know you've pushed it too far when it starts hiccuping 😉
Well. I’m gonna test pushing current to the steppers in a bit. Who knows what might happen. 🤣
I do however have some lrs-350 PSUs I can swap in if needed.
I was thinking of placing just one 80mm Arctic F9 fan above my Manta M8P for both stepper and CB1 cooling. I question whether I even need that. My two formbot supplied fans running at 50%, one coming on with the hotend, the other coming on with the bed, cools the CB1 and M8P onboard thermistors to low 30’s 😂 I just mostly want to use one of my arctic fans under there…the most wonderful, soothing white noise fans I have, and I have seven of them, unused in box. 📦
Once all 8 fans kick on I don’t see temps above 30 in the electronics bay. Even the cb1 with its pid fan never gets above that. Lol.
I wouldn’t expect them to, based on the adequacy of two fans at 50% in my, admittedly more pedestrian, chamber.
Yea. It’s kinda crazy. But also cool at the same time. Pun intended. 😆
Absolutely haha!
I’m actually out of controllable fan ports and still need fans on the steppers. Either I A) use stepper driver port fan adapters, 3 fans each that way, or B) design my arduino mega shield to have an additional set of fan connectors.
I feel like the Arduino shield would be good
I'm sure there are other people who would use it also lol
If you could place just one 80mm fan over the M8P, would you center it, place it over the steppers, or place it over the passive heatsink of the CB1? I could always place one over the CB1 and one over the steppers, but I believe one fan would be more than enough for my setup. I’d also probably be inclined to lower voltage from 12 to 9 volts on the single arctic fan.
Over the drivers. The cb1 doesn’t need nearly as much cooling.
Arduino shield is already going to be designed because I want 12 more thermistor connections. So mayhaps that’s the best plan.
Also, it’s not going to remain a CB1 for long lol
New extruder!
Is that the a4t one? Or normal wwbmg
New wwbmg version. It’s gonna be a bit longer before I get around to ercf install and need the dual filament sensors. Lol.
Yep, just don't do what I did and forget to reprint the rapid burner parts lol
I made the a4t wwbmg only to realize it uses different mounting and had to disassemble everything
Lol. I’ll modify it in cad first then.
I think I'm gonna swap to wwbmg on my v0 at some point
Yes I think it matches the Sherpa mini mount
Instead of orbiter
What filament?
Zyltech ABS for now. Not enough time in the day to anneal. 😅
Yea. This stuff is really shiny.
I've noticed since getting the Goliath all my filaments are so much shinier lol, not bring on the edge of your flow rate cap helps
Prusament pla looked super shiny
I shall be using a rapido uhf for now.
Chonky
Yea the rapidos always look funky with the sock on
They look pretty good imo with the sock. At least you don’t have to remove the thermistor to take off the sock like Goliath. 🤣
I gave up and put a slit in the Goliath sock to more easily remove it around the thermistor.
I did that also lmao
It's like if you want to go over 300 then you need to remove the sock which sucks for do
You can do 320 with the silicone sock for a while.
Good to know
Plus the socks are cheap. Just buy a few to keep on hand to replace when the silicone gets dry.
Yes just waiting to make another ali order tbh lol
Your cart always full too? 
Empty lol
Try to avoid looking at ali to much or I spend to much money lol
Waiting for my paychecks also
i can very much do that without aliexpress :P
I just try to order more than 1 thing at a time
aliexpress is just making it worse
Same but if I just don't look at any shopping sites its ok
True lol
Or if I just pretend I have 0 money I trick myself into thinking I can't buy anything
Also helps to not look at the voron discodd
I have upgraded my ups package that contains the CPAP! Whoo! Previous delivery date was Saturday. I’m assuming it’ll either be delivered Saturday or Monday. I’m fine with both especially as Monday is a day off work. Lol.
Holy cow. @amber trellis You were 100% right. Reaper is an absolute tank. I made a Ebb36 mount that uses the back 2 holes on the carto cnc mount to make it a bit more secure and wow. The only flex in the toolhead now is the rail.
It doesn't play lol
Glad it's working out for you
Reaper! Graphs are looking even better now too! Just need panels and CPAP and she’s ready to print ABS finally.
Looking really sick!
I’m in love with how well wiring the ebb36 went. (Ignore the non connected wire. Need a bat85 diode to connect the tacho to the ebb36)
STL for the manta fans?
Dang that head looks slick. Makes me want to make one sooner. Let us know how well it works
Is ebb36 usb or cam (brain is fried so probably the wrong thing XD)
I’m probably gonna have to ask you sometime soon, for how you got ebb36 working. I’ve been struggling
Can
Just follow esotericals guide
Considering you've got both, how much space would you lose on a micron with a reaper? Lol
I imagine you'd have to screw with mounting
But just wondering
So close, yet so far. haha.
All of it probably. I went from 345 (hex drive loss with SB) to 325 (hex drive plus reaper) in X and lost 10mm in Y.
So far on speed testing. 500mm/s 60k accel at 1.6a. I didn’t go to the end on that current yet though. 1.0a was 45k.
Will you quit it? I'm jealous enough as it 🤣
Lmao. Not at all. I wanna find the limit of these 2004s at 24v. I’m also pushing tmc2209 at their limit. Already upped current to 2.0 (motor max, thermistors on motors so if they get too hot klipper will shut down) for the next tests. I’m taking a break to let my nerves relax.
I'm only kidding, definitely keep going lol
My heart needs to slow before I keep going. Don’t want my hand shaking while trying to hit the e stop. Lol.
Just waiting for me to overload the 200w psu I see. 😆
No immediate overtemp warnings at 2a on the tmc2209. So that’s good I think.
I lied. It took a second. Lol. Gonna go down to 1.9a
2a continuous 2.8 peak.
Ah ok
Looks like I’m going down to 1.8a. 1.9a got rid of one warning. I actually thought 1.8a would be the limit. Let’s see if that’s true.
Yea and they don't tend to be at 2a even if set
But still gonna run through that poor psu lol
Yea. The lrs-200 has taken me far but I imagine I’m pretty close to the limit.
Xiar are you gonna light this up like you did the last ones?
Is it a meanwell psu?
Eventually maybe
Yep. Meanwell lrs-200-24.
I’ve got some no name 350 psus. Lol. Technically not “no name” but they are from an ender 3. Lol.
Don't enders use genuine meanwells?
Mine does...
Not og ender 3’s. Lol.
I'll check mine again, maybe I'm having memory loss👍
From ender 3 pros yes
Yep. Nailed it. 1.8a and no warnings. My guesstimate was spot on.
I do have 3 4010 fans cooling them though. Lol.
Oop. Might’ve spoke one second too soon. 🤣
70k accel passed. Still going. Motors are only at 38c.
75k accel passed
80k failed. One last check at 75k now.
It's a cool time of year for you, right? I wonder if you'll need to back off on some of these current settings come summer.
@viral briar @shut sundial 24v 1.8a 500mm/s 75k accel. That’s the limit of hex drive on a 350 with reaper at 24v!
Phew, thats no joke
Same temp inside as it is all year long right now. Gonna switch the cooling to a couple large blowers I think. Or swap the 4010 12v fans to 24v ones. Or go 4020 fans.
Motors are at 48c now.
I love these 2004s. Lol.
75k lol. Thats amazing.
On 2209's no less, absolutely insane
4020 24v fans added to cart.
Clearly we need to make a hex drive v0 now :p
Coconut made one, they’ve been out for a while though
Not Y assist though, straight 6WD
I miss seeing @ember plume around. Wonder if they pop in when I’m not online.
Oh! @grand shadow You might wanna see the video above as well. 
Okay. Wrote a quick macro override to run the bed mesh scan at a much better scv than just 5.
[gcode_macro BED_MESH_CALIBRATE]
rename_existing: _BED_MESH_CALIBRATE
gcode:
{% set scv = printer.configfile.settings.printer.square_corner_velocity | int %}
{% set accel = printer.configfile.settings.printer.max_accel | int %}
SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT SQUARE_CORNER_VELOCITY={accel / 1000}
_BED_MESH_CALIBRATE {rawparams}
SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT SQUARE_CORNER_VELOCITY={scv}
In my case. This runs the bed mesh with a scv of 70. Lol
9x9 mesh in just 14 seconds even at only 500mm/s. lmao.
so what's the output of that mesh look like?
It’ll change when I move the printer back to its actual home.
Looks great
I suppose theres no issue sharing my IS graphs as well.
This is a trident 350 btw.
Btw @rough topaz (sorry to pull you from your normal channels) new toolhead. Massive improvements.
Must not spend alot of money to upgrade, must not spend all my money to upgrade
Scroll down a little further and you’ll see 75k accel. 😆
Was i pinged
Slightly above to see new graphs with new toolhead.
Just doing a test with this cheap din rail SSR that’s rated for “40” amps. While I don’t believe for a second it could do that it is certainly handling the 6a heater pad without a problem. The heat sink on it isn’t even very warm. I like it. (I do not suggest nor advise anyone to buy cheap SSRs)
Contactor is working great as well btw. It’s satisfying to hear it click on and off when the heater is turned on and off.
Looks better
Pour some concrete in the frame to reduce shaking

Part of that’s the table.
And another part is the hula feet. Lol.
It's so freaking FAST
Hows that other switch doing? Can't remember what it was called but it's connected to the mainboard and can kill the bed power
The contactor. It’s been great so far.
Pardon the ignorance. What exactly is the point?
Secondary safety to kill bed power in the event of a problem with it. SSRs typically fail in the on position. Right now most printers rely on the thermal fuse to break power in that event. The contactor can cut all power, both live and neutral, from the bed in the event of the SSR failing instead. Which means I’m not relying on a $1 fuse to blow at the right temp.
I see. How does it differ from another SSR? Is it controlled by the mainboard or is it a hardware cutoff somehow?
It’s a mechanical switch essentially. Controlled by the main mcu.
I see. That's basically what the SSR is though no?
Sorry for butting in. But an SSR is a solid state device. It works via the magic of semiconductors. A mechanical contactor (same thing as a mechanical relay just with higher current handling capability), is literally a pair of contacts that open and close, like a mechanical switch.
Gotcha.
Ok cool. Appreciate the info.
Mechanical relays are used in applications where the switching frequency is low. The are also noisy.
pwm mechanical would be like "CLICK CLACK CLICK CLACK" lol
or more like bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Similar but different. Still using low voltage to control high voltage but physically rather than wizardry.
Thanks for explaining.
You are all good. I was driving and shouldn’t text and drive anyways. 😅. I was basically gonna say the same thing.
Yep. The one I’m using has a 24v coil. So it made it easy to just connect it to a heater output on the main mcu. I then have several macros setup overriding heater functions to automatically switch on and off that contactor when power to the bed is needed or not needed.
Yep that. That's good. Thinking I might add one in the future, since the SSR can fail closed. But will need to redo the electronics layout
Ah interesting. So the bed cannot heat unless you're also heating the nozzle?
Nope. The bed can heat anytime. Give me a few and I’ll have the macros up on GitHub.
Ah sorry you said "a heater output" I misunderstood.
No rush 🙂
Nifty. How do you trigger it on thermal runaway?
Or rather SSR stuck on?
That’s the shutdown value. When klipper detects an error and goes to shutdown it will set the bed power pin to that value. Which happens to be 0.0 or off.
Ahh gotcha.
The nice part is just the fact it can cut all power to the bed. So if you wired your bed backwards by accident and connected neutral to the SSR instead of live there’s no power at all going to the bed heater when it’s off. It’s much safer that way.
@elder hull In case you didn’t see it. #1309948210160205834 message 500mm/s 75k accel 24v 1.8a. Hex drive.
So not exactly hexdent related but I figured youd like this idea @proven schooner , I was thinking about it randomly lol. What if I make a midi slicer song file, and program the neopixels to make a lightshow
That’s pretty easily done. There’s already a midi slicer out there and all you’d have to do is edit in the lights.
yea i was thinking of usiong midi slicer
I think I need more leds though and also wled probably lol
the skr pico isnt gonna cut it
Soooooo. Looks like I might actually be buying krakens for this thing. 🤣. Gonna use my tax refund to at the very least get 4 of the 6 needed. Lmao.
Just going faster lmao
I've got my cart full on West 3d lol, waiting for my paycheck
Yeaaaaa. 2 krakens is $135. 😆
Yes but. 80Ncm of torque. 🤣. The 2004s (and 2504s I don’t have) I currently have have 55Ncm.
Rated for 60v too
gonna ouytrun the hotend lol
I can already do that. 🤣
need a chube xl
If I went Chube I’d want a Chube conduction. But I’m far from being able to do that.
I've seen that, what's the difference from the air and conduction? Couldn't figure out how the conduction one got cooled
Chube air needs a fan. Chube conduction doesn’t get cooled. Metal carriages only. Heat is transferred from Chube top, to carriage, to rail, to extrusion. Through all that transfer. It’s cooled.
Ohhhhhh gotcha. That makes sense. When I read the name of it I thought that's what it meant but when I got to thinking of the mount on my printer I was like... that's platic. XD
Yea. Don’t mount a Chube conduction on plastic. Lol. Maybe PEEK but that’s not exactly ideal.
Is the PEEK with metal in it? Would make for a possible "in the mean time" solution if you don't have a metal carriage for your toolhead. The CPAP Reaper would look cool on an all metal carriage though. The footprint is so small XD
It does not. But it could handle what temps the Chube would be at for a normal Voron. Lol. CPAP reaper is what I plan on installing. Just waiting on the CPAP to arrive.
That sucks lol. But also likely doesn't make much sense.
I look forward to seeing how that looks and it's performance. Which CPAP kit did you get?
Btt ofc
Are you going to be doing any air filtering in the build? Just curious.
Probably not
Gotcha. Probably wont need it anyway, prints will be done fast enough.

I thought this was meant to be WC , not looking at the order page anytime soon but interesting nonetheless.
So your only options are takeoff ?
Calamity as well.
CPAP kit arrives today! Whoo!
@proven schooner looks like you are going full empty wallet on this one 🙂
Oh my wallet was empty 2 months ago. It’s just getting dustier at this point. 🤣
Let us know how loud is it
It’s louder than you think I can already tell you that 
My printers are right next to my kiddos bedroom so I think I cannot go for this upgrade 😢
tbf you rarely use it at 100% under normal use
It’s not that loud. 
I will 100% be using it at 100%. 🤣
I need a comparison vs the x1c LOL
You can have one once I have it fully mounted on my printer.
I love it
That’s not even max
What are the specs on that? CFM and pressure?
14.7cfm 6.6Kpa max static pressure 45k rpm
It moves air faster than my 120mm blower. 🤣
Psssst. @quaint tapir
Welcome to Hexdent build log. Hex drive on a Trident 350. I do stupid stuff.
Oh nice
And I got my CPAP blower!
Carto. Not beacon. Lol.
Cb1. It doesn’t like it if I go over 49x49. 🤣
The btt compute module
It’s a bit slower than a cm4. Lol
Formbot kit you have a cb1. LDO kit no idea.
It’s the single board computer
It’s an mks skippr
Ah damn I gotta look the leviathan up then lol
If it’s not enough I’m not installing it
Leviathan is the mcu. The sbc is what runs Linux and everything. The cb1 is a sbc and it goes in a manta mcu. With the leviathan you’d want to use a pi3 or pi4
Did you happen to run a db test on that CPAP?
That makes sense ok
Just trying to get a ballpark lol
Yours is a combo board?
I could. It would be my Apple Watch though.
Mines ~80
I’ve seen muffler files where the blower goes into a box w/ acoustic stuff to dampen it tho
Yep. Manta m8p and m5p are combo boards. They have a connector for a compute module like the cb1 or cm4
I’m building the muffler. Lol.
Oh yea. You’ll be fine
Fuck I’m glad I didn’t get the troodon now tbh
M8p is pretty compact which is nice
It was so limited for my uses
That's most combo boards to be fair
I have a m8p v2 and a monster8 v2. 🤣. I’ll be adding an arduino mega as well.
I think at least the leviathan will do for a bit
I need to look into cpap placement though
I’ve heard of you do it right, you can do abs still?
Yep. Just have the CPAP intake air from the chamber.
Is there an ideal spot I wonder?
Like, am I gonna need to work up an under bed cpap? lol
Probably. But most mounts mount at the top back. On a trident it’s perfect since heat rises and the bed is pretty close to the top. On a v2 you just want to be sure the chamber is up to temp first.
Ahhh heat rising is true yeah
I so rarely do abs anyway tbh, I’m sure I can manage just throttling down to 40% ish
You’ll have to let me know if the muffler works tbh
I wonder if there is a way to rig up cpap with stealthmax on the rear panel. Seems like a cool mod. Could always drill the top panel for stealthmax though.
I too am interested in this.
What’s a stealthmax?
Massive air filter
Needs a 300mm build plate minimum to printer
So I’m not bothering
Not running any of the never more kit has given me an extra 3 blower fans though, two from that and one from the toolhead itself
Hoping to use those as bed fans
I figure bed fans will help with chamber temps for the cpap
Oh they will. Massively
That's pretty much what I''m doing with mine from the small nevermore. Just need to do wiring for it all so I can add 2 more.
All the time
I have a benefit of a trident though. I use 2 120mm fans. 🤣
Not really. May just need to slowly turn up their speed as to not pull so much heat the bed heater can’t keep up
Ahh ok
This bed is fucking massive
It’s so heavy honestly lol
It’s like an inch thick
350? Yea. They big.
If you have the fans going when the bed is heating be sure to do PID tuning with the fans on.
Ah word
Or don’t and yolo it like me.
I just did to prevent it from throwing errors XD
Dryer. Outlet. Also why would you need a buck converter?
I don’t have a free 240v outlet
There is a more advanced PID but I think you are referring to MPC.
(I have the Kalico docs up still XD)
Can’t you buck/boost 120 up?
Not AC. That needs a transformer
Just use a heatsink on your SSR and you can use the full bed power without issue. A 750w bed is a ton of heating power
Depending on what you are printing, your bed heatup time, at least from my experience with a 300mm isn't what will take the most time.
It’s usually the chamber heating that takes the longest
new mod added to my list of to does XD
Adding blobifier first though. got a kit off ali
Hm?
Sorry ssr?
Solid state relay
Ah
The stock omron can only do 4a without a heatsink. So you need a heatsink or a Panasonic SSR instead. It’s the thing that controls power to the bed heater.
Since the bed heaters are ac
I’m using a SSR with a heatsink. I won’t say which because I’m using a cheapy that I wouldn’t suggest anyone else use. Lol.
I may try more abs once I get the 2.4 going, just because I’ll have the ability
It’s not any less child safe ig than pla
You also got the contactor so hopefully if ssr go poof that will save the day XD
Exactly
I print mostly ABS, ABS+, and ASA. I like printing it a lot, but just make sure you got those panels on and that air is filtered. Stuff burns my nose at least. The S is styrene, nasty stuff.
PLA it's mostly the micro plastic and airborn pops of plastic you need to worry about. though breathing any of it in is bad. (part of why I'm looking forward to trying PHA)
I have a whole home air filter
I'm a noob for clarity but this one thing I've looked into a lot. XD
Pm2.5 standalone units and carbon inline duct filters with ~15lbs
That will do good I'd suspect. Only real issue is what you breath in before it reaches that, but I have no idea what all that would be XD
So for the ducting, you just put the canisters inline with the ducts, and add an inline fan to prevent pressure reduction
And my standalone units are large electrostatic filters
That do it.
Likely does a hell of a lot more than the stealthmax lol
What did you attach it with? Epoxy?
Yeah it does well
Mines integrated
~15lbs of charcoal, it can knock most frying smoke out
Oh gotcha
I’ll just need to make sure I run it when printing as always
I may still do a stealthmax for odor tho
Hit it at the source
So what’s a hex drive?
It’s Thor’s currently unreleased (I’ve built the second ever so far) trident gantry that is AWD and Y assist. It also moves the motors outside of the enclosure so getting the enclosure spicy is a little easier.
2 extra motors to move in the Y axis. Takes the weight of the X extrusion off the AWD motors basically. Makes for a very fast printer.
I’m currently only on 24v at 1.8a but capable of doing 75k accel. And this is a trident 350. Lol.
At that point wouldn’t it be easier to go crossxy?
Then it wouldn’t be a Voron
Ah
I didn’t know there was a limit to customizing
I just figured if it gets an initial serial it’s always a voron 😛
Technically. After you have a serial. You can do whatever you want. But to get a serial. It has to be a gantry with the Voron belt paths.
I didn’t realize Dr victor Voron was so particular

He invented the voron and 3d printing I think
I just wanna keep it a Voron. Lol. CrossXY isn’t something I’ve been interested in.
That was RCF
(I’m not gonna ping him. Lol)
Hm?
No im fairly sure his name is doctor voron 
I’ll tell the story for my serial video
RCF may get a kick out of that.
I think you mean doctor voron
And hopefully
He invented plastic you know
And I think he stole fire from the gods to create his sons
🤷♂️
but they were deceived, for another ring was made
But fr is that who came up with the voron?
I gotta watch that video sometime lol
Yep. RCF is the main man himself.
For a 350 Cross gets weird
Ah
Ah
I wish the magneto X didn’t suck tbh
The idea of a beltless machine is interesting
I wonder if that could be done DIY
Or if it would still suck
The StealthMax S fits on a 250 BTW.
Fair enough. I just have plans for the big one. Lol.
Super close now!
Absolute unit of a toolhead
And now the wwbmg has its thumb screw back. Lol.
@latent condor What’s your bet that on first print I overload the psu now? 6 steppers running 24v 1.8a, a hotend that uses 115w, CPAP that uses 70w, 3 steppers at 24v 0.6a, a led that’s running at 10% (that ones probably negligible) and then all the rest of the electronics in the electronics bay? Still running the lrs-200. 😅
Center of gravity gonna be crazy
Hehe. LOUD.
Believe it or not. It’s still pretty good. With the Y assist belts where they are it works out pretty well.
wat. poor lrs-200
Yea. I’m fairly confident first print is going to be eventful. 🤣
yea thats sounds like a recipe for you needing to buy a new psu :P
No need to buy. There’s one in the drawer over here. 🤣
There’s actually 2
3 if you count the 150w one. But I’m planning on switching to 350w.
The amount of force it takes to manually move the toolhead. 🤣
good god thats a lot
Gt3 tensioned to unknown tensions. 🤣
that looks like it might just blow your idler bearings level of tension :P
Their fine. It’s fine. I have replacements next to the printer for when they go bad. 🤣
There’s 8 toothed idlers on this thing. 🤣
Exploring the unknown. Don't end up like the bear.
I tensioned them to 3.0 on the belt tension meter. But that’s still only half the rated tension for gt3 belts. So I tensioned them to that plus like 2-3 more turns on the tensioners. Still probably need more.
Damn, getting those bad boys real right. Guessing with that many motors more tension is needed. Guess you keep going till it starts skipping?
Live shaft eventually lol
Gt3 I need the tension. And it’s all double shear. So I can basically bend the frame instead before the belts or anything on the gantry breaks. 🤣
Eventually for me is more likely never. 😅. The front motor mounts and X/Y joints would be pretty easy to replace. The back idlers. Yea how about never again. Lmao.
😂 Your printer is so over built and I love it.
When I inevitably bend the frame. I’ve already decided to get a 4040 frame. Lol.
That printer is going to be THICC
might as well go monolith then to!
Why would I downgrade?
I have AWD + Y assist…
well live shaft would be a giant upgrade allowing you to go with an even higher tension
and im sure you could add y assist with monolith :P
Yes. And it’s planned for Hexdrive. Lol.
ah! good to know :D
Creator refuses.
Well, overload for the supply is 110-140% rated power. So, chances are good that you'll hit it, but not guaranteed because not all your loads are at their max at the same time.
yea but their cad for printed models is online and afaik the licence allows modification
Yea. I’m fairly confident first print will be exciting. May put a current meter on the psu and see how much I’m drawing.
Fair enough. I’m not that great of a designer though. Plus. Hexdrive has one huge advantage imo. Motors outside printer.
oh true, any chance you got a link to the project?
It shouldn't be exciting from a PSU perspective. If you draw too much, it will simply cut power and your system will shut down abruptly.
Unreleased
That will be the exciting part. Making sure I don’t then melt the toolhead. 🤣
One day though. This gantry is awesome. It’s just. Not many have built it. As in. 2. 2 have built it. Thor and me. 😅
Oh yea, if your hotend is hot, and your fans drop out... could be bad times ahead.
It’s gonna be exciting! 
It'll be something!
He designed it to avoid Y assist, as is if you add it it’ll create torsion on the X beam and hurt IS on Y
This gantry was designed to use Y assist and avoid that torsion
There’s some graphs around somewhere, I’ll ask if they’re allowed to be posted
Working on it lol
It’s still great, I use Monolith on my V2 and absolutely love it. Just simply different gantries with different designs. We build for fun around here, and different is fun
Thor has posted the Hex drive graphs in plaid.
We should ask politely for an open beta ! Maybe Thor will do it
A few Hexdrive videos
Still runnin the 200W supply?
Yep. It didn’t overload. Miraculously. Lol.
Any idea how much current it is outputting?
None at all atm. Thinking about adding my old current meters from the micron though. Then we will see how much current.
You could get a DC current clamp meter. They seem to run about $60 or so. Been thinking of picking one up myself...
I could. Or I could also throw my multimeter in series and actually measure the current. Lol.
Much less convenient and you run the risk of making a mistake that could get exciting!
I need to do that anyways to calibrate the voltage and current displays properly. 😅
Taking current measurements by putting my meter in series is one of the things I like doing the least when it comes ot measuring stuff.
The convenience of a current clamp... you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. I have one at work that I use that attaches to my oscilloscope. I'm spoiled there.
Everyone knows voltage, but there's a whole world of current that remains hidden to the masses.
What I would love is some dc current meters like my ac one that does it with a coil around the wire.
That's what I'm talking about.
Yea. I should’ve phrased it as. The meters on the front of my printer. I want those to have them. Would make it easier to wire up.
I have no experience with this model, but https://www.amazon.com/UNI-T-Digital-Handheld-Resistance-Capacitance/dp/B0188WD1NE
This is what I’m thinking about. https://a.co/d/cv5yMUR
Oooo. What if I did analog meters instead? Those would be neat. I don’t really need the voltage. Just the current after all.
What I'm talking about is more of a diagnostics tool. You're looking more for a display. What you linked there may work, probably will.
Yep. Your tool would be great. I just like it to always be on display. Lol.
I'm probably going to open it up now that at least one other person has it running.
@proven schooner and @shut sundial have been working with me on this and I think it's ready to share.
On mine with 6 motors at 2 amps rms in Klipper at 48 V I measured 0.35 amps each while enabled and stationary and 0.65 amps each while moving around at 1m/s.
This was measured between the 48v psu and the mcu on the mot power line.
When I took those measurements I was running it on a 100w psu.😅 Needless to say I upgraded that.
Jeeeez. And I’m over here planning on 56v at 3a for each motor. 🤣.
I’m glad I’m planning on a 350w then.
50% CPAP. 20k accel on everything to solve my skipping issue. Will slowly increase. Putting the galvanic umbilical guide back soon as well.
Going to get some anti vibration pads as well for the feet. I can feel my apartment floor vibrating a bit. Lol.
@viral briar @shut sundial 18 minute PLA Voron cube. 20k accel on all features. Untuned everything. Turned out pretty good!
24³ flow max
Not bad at all lol, that’s looking great
I think I could actually tune that to be a pretty great printing setting too. It’s nearly perfect by my standards.
Oh yeah, little bit of tuning and those setting could probably be daily speeds. Might get Reth to scribble on your pictures some lol
He’s here in this build log. If he decides to he’s more than welcome. Lol. I think I might try running through the tuning guide and actually tune it a little to do pla at 24³ flow.
Hula not doing enough? 😂
They are helping. But they are meant for input shaper graphs and for multiple printers on one table. Not meant to dampen the speeds and accels I’m doing from vibrating the floor.
Oh! And @thin kite . You aren’t here yet so… whatcha think of this cube? (Genuinely curious)
Ohh gotcha. Will you be combining the 2 or does it have to be one or the other?
I’ll be using both
Nice!
Much better reverse bowden and umbilical path than before. Back to the galvanic. New CPAP mount is printing without the tube hole in it.
If your feeling brave you could print one of these and huck it in your meter, use alt calibration instructions from my git using desired weight . It should be able to reach ~18lb (80N) max with stock spring albeit with slightly lower resolution on the low end of the scale.
I was never here
Interesting. Got any data on that? Just curious as I haven’t messed with my tension meter much. I can print a second one to use for these higher belt tensions.
Yeah, 18lb max is the data but I didn't bother creating a full tension table since its not really ideal to have the spring pre-loaded that much. So this is really only useful for hitting a target tension, not so much for everything else in between
Perfect. I’ll give it a shot. I’ll print a second meter so I don’t have to touch the good one.
Good idea! be careful installing the spring with that extension, mildly spicy
Hehe. Thanks for the advice!
Whoa, that cpap sounds just 
I’m waiting for it to turn on and the psu to shut off. 🤣
Those overhangs on that cube look slightly undercooled - give it 100%!
I’m 90% certain that if it’s set to 100% at any point in the print the psu will shut off. It’s a 200w lrs. I’m at its limit I’m sure. Will be adding current meters soon so we’ll find out.
I am not expert on quality. you can make any print look bad under harsh light
I think that will do for umbilical management for now.
Very clean
I’m gonna do my best tonight to not print with it cause this thing is so loud but I am gonna work on enclosing the trident tonight. Hopefully once fully enclosed it’s a little quieter. At least the CPAP will be. Lol.
Hopefully no neighbor disturbing lol
That insulation should cut down on noise a lot too, @west sorrel could say for sure
Enclosing makes a huge difference for most printers. Nothing makes 100k accels quiet though.
Yea. It’s the CPAP that’s the loudest right now though.
Enclosure should take care of most of that I suspect.
Hopefully! Then we’ll be back to printing all night long. May make a way for the enclosure to be closed but still print pla as well. The CPAP makes it far too easy to print fast with pla.
Kind of reminds me when we had a big 3 phase 480V blower motor for a work project. It sounded like a jet engine. One of the ME's made a box out of wood to cut down on the noise, and that worked quite well.
Brb. Gonna find a 480v blower for my v0 part cooling.
NOTE: CORD AND PLUG NOT INCLUDED. The Atlantic Blowers AB-1200 Three Phase/Single Stage Regenerative Blower can be used for various pressure or vacuum applications. The AB-1200 produces a maximum flow of 791 CFM. The maximum pressure and vacuum is 108 in H2O and 114 in H2O respectively. The AB-1200 has a power output o
How is that quieter than CPAP. 🤣. 81db. Fairly confident in saying CPAP is around 90db. Also 15kw?! This is the part cooling we need!
Oh it's not quieter, that's for sure. Just reminded me of the need to use sound abatement techniques to quiet air moving devices!
I have half a back panel! Still need to add the insulation to the inside of it but we are getting there!
1 of 2 front panel sides on now as well! I am gonna wait to put any insulation on the back of them just to be sure door works first.
That’s conveniently empty now. Lol.
Okay! Once the X1C is done with its current print. I’ll mount the back panel pieces on the back. And then start printing the right side of the front panel parts. While those print I’ll go design the left side panel clamps with insulation in mind.
After the left panel is done I just need new skirts, a top panel, and a door.
I might add a led bar into the left panel mount. There’s plenty of room I think. And I think I’ll use that bar to display print progress.
If it isn’t doctor voron himself 
10/10 chance that’ll be voiced over for my 2.4 serial
incoming ban 
Does 56v DC scare you?
Not yet. Might when I finally have the psu in hand.
It should
People who know more than me refuse to discuss or work on projects over 50v DC in the 3dp space. Dalegaard iirc is one.
Thats the voltage at which DC really starts to get properly dangerous.
its not really different to 48v
In terms of what it can do to the human body. Yes. Of course. That’s terrifying. However. I feel confident with my wiring and will be taking many precautions with installing it. It’s not something I’m going to take lightly.
just know a bit of electronics and youre fine
I dont know if theres a way you can wire in a small component to passively drain the caps after you power down. Id certainly want to know how to approach maintenance safely before i went for that upgrade path, myself.
Could always put in a small 60v - 24v buck and hook a fan to it.
I like this thinking
Not sure if itll drain the caps on the mcu or not, but you can always meter it after first use
Maintenance side of things is simply don’t touch electronics with the printer on. Which ya know. You shouldn’t do at 24v either. But turning off power and then letting it sit for a bit before double checking with multimeter that capacitors have drained before touching anything is good practice.
Cool cool. Id like you to be afraid of it, a little, but i will settle for "aware of the dangers" 
I’m afraid of touching things with power on. Something I won’t be doing much of once that psu is installed. By that point I’ll hopefully have a panel to put on the electronics and will just not open it unless power is off.
My concern is more for caps when the machine is powered down. I hope no one messes with the electronics when its powered up anyways 😄
Caps are understandable. Those can pack a punch worse than a power supply. (I have totally not connected LEDs and fans while I had power on before. Not at all. 😅 )
Nailed it. 🤣
Welp. Someone forgot that @viral briar has a T250 and I have a T350. 🤣. Panels are too small
Welp. New ones printing. 4 hours for those. They just barely fit on the X1C. Lol. Printing both takes as long as printing one. May set it to ludicrous mode until it nears the top layers that will be visible in the printer.
Just curious, why print side panels instead of getting acrylic panels and cutting manually?
I can’t cut the cutouts needed by hand. I can in a sheet of abs. But I don’t have any left atm. So. Printing abs panels instead.
They aren't the most basic shape unfortunately. That would be too easy. Lol.
defo was not a prusa i3. I dont know why youd say that.

which pannel clips are you using?
This is typically called a bleed resistor FYI
Oh gotcha. I have seen some with a filament hing but couldn't tell if this was the same one. Need to get some m2 screws.
I didn’t like the filament ones. I have some. But the m2 ones were far better.
The filament ones break or something?
Just terrible to assemble.
Oh gotcha. Might print one and just see how it goes then. XD
Screws do seem better in all regard though
I did se something on instagram that is for straightening out the filament. Someone made it so the cars they made wouldn't have wonky wheels since they used filament as the axle. Might print it out for the hinges
@eternal dome I just ordered 4 of 6 new motors for it. 🤣
gees is that per motor?
Set of 2. To save on shipping with AliExpress. You order no more than 2 at a time.
They are $57 each and each set of 2 is $143 after shipping and taxes
Back panel done for now! I’ve got the right side of the front panel printing now. Gonna jump in cad now and make the left side insulated panel mount.
It's looking good!
Which software are you using?
Fusion 360 ofc
The absolute go to it seems XD
I really need to test that Linux port at some point
Not bad for a 350. Lol. Its back in its spot I originally had leveled the gantry in
That a beacon i spy? I find it unuseual to see a bed mesh that isnt 99 points on X and a normal number of passes, say 5-13 on Y.
Carto
Yep. I could do that 99x99. I just see no point. Lol.
99x 7 tho
Takes the same time as 7x7
The Y axis value is the only one that actually changes the toolhead behaviour. If you start to push mesh move speed up silly high, youll start to see a breakdown in the smoothness of the probe results, if you have sufficiently fine grid, thats easier to pick out.
So i keep my mesh speed above my print speed, and have 99 points, and if i start to see issues in my mesh, it might be time to invesgigate for loose screws or a dying rail.
My micron+ does its mesh at 1m/s and 49x49. Lol. It’s quite smooth
Takes all of 23 seconds
so I can push mine from 200mm/s to 500 and be fine?
for some reason I thought 200 was the max lmao
More than likely.
That mesh above is 500mm/s
ok increasing it now lmao
If you have weird noises I have a macro for you.
wdym weird noises lol
From the scv being too low
This macro auto sets the scv in accordance to the config set max accel. Since that’s usually what the bed mesh runs at.
[gcode_macro BED_MESH_CALIBRATE]
rename_existing: _BED_MESH_CALIBRATE
gcode:
{% set scv = printer.configfile.settings.printer.square_corner_velocity | int %}
{% set accel = printer.configfile.settings.printer.max_accel | int %}
SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT SQUARE_CORNER_VELOCITY={accel / 1000}
_BED_MESH_CALIBRATE {rawparams}
SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT SQUARE_CORNER_VELOCITY={scv}
let me see
(I dont even think my SCV is properly set lol in orca lol)
thats jerk in orca right?
Yep
actually sounds normal besides my broke ass motion system
one of my idler stacks is squeaking lol
ill check
mesh is 30x30
10 is my SCV, max accel is 24k
Change that 30 to 29x29 and accel to scv there is fine for resonance more than likely. That’s why you don’t need the scv change. Lol.
ill try it
First image with even number mesh, second with odd.
This noise lmao
the belt is also moving lmao
im ordering all new belts and rails so ill redo the entire gantry soon
That sounds perfectly fine minus the idler. Lol.
You don’t have the annoying resonance I get.
I had it when going 200mms
so I know what you mean
sounds like a loud clunk almost
and yea idk which idler that is yet lol, I suspect its one on my right rear motor mount
"Normal" sized mesh. Lol
Sounded pretty similar with a 29x29 but ill add your macro and see if it changes
Yea. That’s not a fix for sound. That’s a fix for printing on the full bed. Lol.
Lol. You’ve got some weird resonance then
yea idk
the deck plate resonates so bad lmao
thats the worst actually, on Z moves its horrible
I have ems. It seems to secure it really well.
Turn off stealthchop on Z if you have it on.
I dont think it is, if I touch the deck plate it stops
Yea stealthchop is set to 0
If I stick something between the deck plate and frame itll probably go away
Here you go @grand shadow . 99x99. Lol. Just for fun cause the cb1 actually struggled there processing the data.
End of a zip tie works well for that
yea was gonna do that or some E tape
It actually took a solid minute to process that mesh btw. Lmao.
cb1 doesnt have enough power lol
We’ll see about that. 🤣. But no. It can’t process that mesh fast enough.
I cant wait till I get my paycheck and make it stop squeaking lmao
Currently I’m just seeing why my X1C stopped extruding.
Im also doing rails since I figured they will be easier to grease and actually using proper grease is a good idea
Clearly you arent using bambu approved filament
but yea my next order is rails, belts, ep2, bearings for double shear, and those moons extruder motors for the nightowl
