I just purchased a very old 2.4 and it's currently not booting it has a pie that is password protected and I don't have the password currently I'm not sure what my next steps should be for fixing it but the machine is showing no signs of life other than some LEDs in the pie boots up

(Wired network should let you into mainsail or fluidd, and from there to download configs)

#

Once you've got that, you probably want to go scorched earth on the pi and reinstall it from scratch

But...is the scenario? do you know that everything is wired exactly the default way?

#

Do you know exactly what every sensor is?

#

It looks to me like there is some canbus wiring in there

Personally, I think it is ludicrously foolish to nuke it without at least making a reasonable attempt to grab the config, even if just for reference

#

Just because if you nuke it, and discover there's a question, it's way too late

That's kinda the last resort

#

Are you wanting to avoid just plugging it into your network as a security concern ? Or...

The main problem with the network where I am is that it's extremely unstable so all of my printers use manual transfer for sending files and whatnot

Well, it should work. A direct link , the pi and the laptop should eventually both take self-assigned 169 addresses, once they give up on dhcp

# oak perch What

Dude I've purchased this printer 3 days ago and I've been on the road since then getting home and I was so hoping for it to just turn on and I can plug in SD card into it to make it print I don't have enough energy to try to make it connect over Network when it doesn't appear to show any signs of life other than the pie booting up none of the fans turn on no nothing

#

It's 10:00 p.m. at night I'm going to go to bed see you in the morning

#

As it happens, I did make this a while back, which may help some, but...

Alright, so things that occur to me.

#

1.have a look through. https://docs.vorondesign.com/build/software/ssh.html

It covers a number of relevant topics, including finding the device on your (very small) network. Mdns should work, using the hostname seen in your screenshot. (Mainsailosvoron.local)

  1. Have a look at https://docs.vorondesign.com/build/software/configuration.html and https://docs.vorondesign.com/build/startup/ and https://canbus.esoterical.online/
    Just for a sense of the alternative: aka, what you're getting into if you dont recover the old config

I'm going to go cry I thought this printer was going to be just plug it in upload some files to it and just go I'm going to probably end up putting in the pile of other broken printers I have that need replacement main boards and whatnot also what is this thing in the back corner I assume it's the bed probe

As for the larger picture: you bought somebody else's complex diy project, and they didn't even provide you a password for the computer that's at the heart of it. Unfortunately, plug & play isn't a likely outcome...

#

Voron kits are just a way to get a bunch of the relevant parts bundled up in a box

#

Its still a complex diy project

#

It's not the same as like a prusa kit or something

Be interesting to see what the store says. Do random 3d printing stores even do klipper stuff? 😛

#

Oh

#

Well that's fine then

#

I wish i had west 3d down the street

#

If you are wanting it to run stand alone, one thing you'll definitely want to do is upgrade the screen to a klipperscreen style touch screen

#

(Which obviously is something west 3d can help with)

Yeah I dropped it off today and I had one of the guys dig through it and basically he had a heart attack when looking at the wiring and basically took all of it out and removed the pie and basically said hey you should get this custom control board screen thing so you can upload files with an SD card to the screen thing and it will auto transfer to the board also the SD card in the main board was missing so that's why it wasn't turning on

I should clarify I paid for a new wiring kit and the repair fees to have him repair it on my behalf because the old wiring kit was a complete mess
