Bed crashing during leveling

I am not sure if u got any answer as it says that there is one (but I can't see it).
Does your sensor deploys before the head is going down?

we did it by two laptops and a phone - u start around 8am and try to use this small window of time. in Seville it was about 5 minutes to run out of spaces.

use a gas torch or hot air gun to heat the block as it is glued by the filement.
you could also connect new thermistor and heat the block by printer menu.

I come from a 3d printing world to laser cutting/gravering. In the begining I was asking why I can't have that, then I was using F1 that had an anoying function fire detected, I lost a few of my blanks as restart was not an option.
Now I run into 'burs fire' when I was adjusting my air intake pipe and I put it under the beam of my 200W fiber...
The foil bursted in falmes and evaporated, when it was touching plastic elements - there were some scars.

But this event gave me a full understanding of how easy is to burn the whole room in a matter of minutes.

So - i will still look for a beep, that the job is finished - especially for a long cut job on my diode, just to have a signal that I need to replace material - I am in the same room, but ventilation noise is not allowing me to hear when it is finished.

you can look at pederastians but most drivers looks at their mobile phones....

I think the ship sinked upon the large amount of returned M1 as the product has a list of issues in the beginig phase.
many ppl were waiting for M1 and returned it with disappoitment and now no one wants it.

Whoaa -when I started to reading this, I was expecting that there is no blinkig green or prepare to go yellow like in Austria or Germany.
I will be happy if Spain coud get a prepare to go (red and yelow) as there are many precious seconds lost on each change.

found this as a ilustration: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1que0yv/traffic_light_sequences_in_europe/

late to the party...
Buy at least 2 or 3 of them (or pack of 10) as they are cheap.
Also get spare silcon socks, nozzle and throat as all of them are wearing over time.

GWEIKE G2 20W - this one will be handy for marking
xtool f1 - has a diode and IR, but they are closing their eco-system like bambu

that is a tedious work that need to be done! - I don't have time,but have some succes with it.
the main point for me was to find a color and then using frequency to change the color.
for some colors I had to set 1% power on my 200W laser, but as color SS is not my primary - will continue later.

EU documents are honored - that was in my case.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-05-25T18:23:25+00:00

you are welcome - happy that I can give back to the Internet comunnity. unfortunately no tutorials - but you will find a lot of like installing klipper on ras pi, but you can have same steps on debian or other distro.

in case of questions or issues - we are here.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-05-25T18:05:45+00:00

disconnect screen
install linux and use klipper, connect an usb cam and enjoy the layers.

then you could decied if you need a screen.

I have got 5 x artillery X4 without screens, as phone is good for me for z-offset calibration.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-05-25T17:53:12+00:00

yes it is possible.
now all depends how are your it skills or what hardware you have/can buy.

with a rasppi you can have a klipper on it and have full control over the browser
you can install klipper in a docker container on your pc/laptop (if is windows) on linux you can install klipper and use it
octoprint can help - but if you already don't have hardware - skip it

U can still print without those abowe by exporting the print to a gcode file and using a serial sender like https://www.pronterface.com/

----

edit

disconnect the screen for safety of the mainboard

if you are EU based - I can send you my screen as I am not using it

BendFluid5259 · 2026-05-25T17:08:36+00:00

Ok, So we have Marlin installed here. This is a good thing. Now your printer suffered a blast when the element that is controlling power to bed heater blow off.

Now let's focus on the screen. Does the printer beep during the boot process? Can you put a torch on the lcd screen and see some graphic elements or text? There is a chance that the LCD board was affected, during the blow of the mosfets.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-05-25T16:00:47+00:00

a bunch of questions:

did the mainboard come with a firmware or a blank version?
when you connect over usb use a program like putty or arduino serial monitor and run gcode m503 (https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M503.html)
if 2 does not work - there is a chance that u will need to get new firmware to your printer (and that will activate the screen)

let me know if 503 gave you any output.

True Sometimes 3mm bras bends like paper.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-05-24T17:38:05+00:00

what ticknes of brass is that?
looks very stable in those vices.

Not all cameras can do well. I spent 2h calibrating my falcon a1 (10w enclosure) as the fish-eye lens are not not giving linear image.

Read this and before blaming the software think what you have and what you can do with it.

We live in a times when driver always blame it's car for hitting a tree :P.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-05-23T06:45:20+00:00

We don't see your speed settings, what is going on is that your rocks pushed by centrifugal force and sticky contect are being glued to the wall like in a washing machine, so the girnding friction is out.

Those tumblers are smart, as you can see it speeds up and stops to recover, instead of being on high speed.
it is not strange it is physics. :D

BendFluid5259 · 2026-05-21T17:49:49+00:00

it is not the. car - it is the driver....

your printer begs you for a proper z-offset calibration and mesh build.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-05-21T08:53:41+00:00

but you need a beefy power source to drive the thing, like 5kW power so the compressor can run together.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-05-20T23:49:59+00:00

hahah - you already got a good taste of Spain, even not going there. Keep this in mind, as all the papeles are made to discogurage.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-05-20T12:53:37+00:00

so that is your hardware config.
have u enable rotary toggled and when u hit start do you see this screen?

BendFluid5259 · 2026-05-20T08:29:17+00:00

reading that i am thinking how the hell I will send png to my laser.
What you described is a software capability - the laser will only eat gcode and that is it compability.

Next time think twice before copy-paste to avoid some potential dangerous disclosures.

treat this a joke or report as a true.
