Hi all, I'm repairing a V2.2 and I'm at the slicer setup. As I don't know the actual build (and completely new to 3D printing..) I don't know what profile to select when setting up the Super Slicer.

#

I would user prusaslicer or orcaslicer these days, but back to your question. Start with .4mm that is by far the most common size.

#

Ah thanks for the tip! Ill transfer to one of those then

#

The dimples on the tell you the size, although in their wisdom E3D decided 4 dimples wouldn't mean 0.4 haha.

So it seems I was getting ahead of myself. I'm stuck at the Extruder Calibration (e-steps)

#

How do I get it to extrude 10mm of filament?

rare ermine May 31, 2025, 12:14 PM

#

The instructions are for 100mm

In the webpage for the printer, aft the hotend is at temp there will be an extrude button with distance and speed nearby

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 12:15 PM

#

haha damn its right there

#

thanks

#

I'm greatly deviating from the original question.. but when I try extruding 10mm to check if it's running in the right direction, it looks like the white wheel is fixated.
I tried flipping the white lever up but still it looks like it's fixated in place. I'll drop some pictures.. would you know whats going on?

#

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 12:27 PM

#

Whats the extruder section of the config look like?

#

You say you are repairing a 2.4. What have you done/changed?

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 12:32 PM

#

I'm repairing a V2.2. I checked the filament but that seems to be completely stuck.

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 12:32 PM

#

fringe tendon Whats the extruder section of the config look like?

Ill check

#

#

I'm thinking that the filament is fixated somewhere

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 12:34 PM

#

Your setting are wrong. You have an M4 extruder.

#

So gear ratio needs changing

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 12:35 PM

#

Oh really? Where do I find those?

#

I haven't came across it in the software installation and down instructions

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 12:36 PM

#

It's in the config, in the screenshot

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 12:36 PM

#

... 😄

#

Sorry, do I flip that white lever up and do I keep it down during printing?

#

Nevermind, found a tutorial!

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 12:39 PM

#

Down

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 12:42 PM

#

It's still completely stuck. I'm also not able to move the filameter up or down by hand when I flip the lever up. I've checked this vid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTXL5StZUYI) from the Voron youtube and I can't move it an inch

#

(i updated the gear ratio)

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 12:49 PM

#

So how did you get the filament in the first time?

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 12:52 PM

#

I didnt. Long story short is that this thing was build some time ago and during a company move it almost ended up in the dumperster because no-one could get it to work and the original builder left the company.

#

So I did the entire software part again

#

😄

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 12:52 PM

#

There is white filament in the PTFE tube

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 12:53 PM

#

Yea there is. But the white gearwheel doesn't like moving

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 12:53 PM

#

What control board does it have?

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 12:54 PM

#

The 1.3 version I believe

#

Ill double check

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 12:54 PM

#

I would remove the ptfe tube and remove the white filament manually.

#

1.3 what?

#

There are 100's of boards

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 12:55 PM

#

fringe tendon 1.3 what?

SKR V1.3

#

thats the one

#

It has the dual MCU setup (I saw that there was some variation also on that, not sure if it's worthwile mentioning)

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 1:00 PM

#

So assuming the M4 is in the E0 port the pins appear correct.

#

Is the hotend heated up

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 1:01 PM

#

fringe tendon Is the hotend heated up

Yes

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 1:01 PM

#

What port do you have the hotend heater in?

#

Can you post a picture of the electronics bay

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 1:03 PM

#

fringe tendon What port do you have the hotend heater in?

2.5

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 1:03 PM

#

fringe tendon Can you post a picture of the electronics bay

Coming right up!

#

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 1:06 PM

#

Can you upload your printer.cfg

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

📎 printer_2.cfg

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 1:10 PM

#

Did you follow the Voron wiring for this or is this as it was?

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 1:11 PM

#

I kept it for what it was but I did had to flip the motor A & B connectors for example

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 1:12 PM

#

It appear the extruder uart pin is wrong

#

uart_pin: P1.9
interpolate: false
run_current: 0.5
sense_resistor: 0.110
stealthchop_threshold: 0```

#

P1.9 is wrong

#

Should be P1.8

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 1:14 PM

#

Do you base that of this? (sorry, I'm trying to figure how this all works :))

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 1:15 PM

#

Top right CS pins

#

If you look at the other steppers they will have one of those

#

P1.9 doesn't exist.

#

Well it does but.

#

OH hold on

#

The Voron config has 1.9 too. I'm confused

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 1:19 PM

#

Still.. funnily enough I get the same error

#

(like it wants to move.. but it cant.

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 1:20 PM

#

So did you remove the filament

#

You said it didn't move before

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 1:21 PM

#

I can't. If I pull on the filament on the rights hand side (towards the camera) it's completely stuck.
I'm trying to remove the PTFE tube on the left hand side and check if I can move that but the tube is also stuck (I'm pulling on it so hard I'm pretty sure it's gonna tear)

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 1:22 PM

#

To remove the tube you need to push the blue part of the coupler in while pulling the tube out

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 1:23 PM

#

Yea I tried with all my might but it's completely stuck :D. I've never seen this before.
I might have to unscrew this thing

fringe tendon May 31, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

The coupler won't come out.

#

Do you have the lever up

rare ermine May 31, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

Is the filament stuck in the meltzone?

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

fringe tendon Do you have the lever up

yes

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

rare ermine Is the filament stuck in the meltzone?

I honestly don't know. Ill try directly on the head to remove that PTFE tube

#

No it's a 100% at the extruder

#

euhm.. that sounds weird.

#

I mean not at meltzone

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 1:27 PM

#

frigid nebula

So here I mean 😄

#

The kids are waking up.. Ill get back to it tonight!

frigid nebula May 31, 2025, 6:49 PM

#

Maybe it's best to close this support request and mark it as solved, as my original problem has been solved :D.

Ill open a new one for the filament being stuck in the extruder. Hopefully someone else has come before me and found a solution.

Thanks a bunch for your help guys!!

You are more than welcome to join the more lively chat #voron_2_discussion I will mark this one as solved for ya.
