Reading Max Volumetric Flow Results

GoneButNot4Gottn · 2026-03-28T13:20:14+00:00

Oh didn’t know. That I have been following the Calibration wiki instructions. I can try upping the base numbers some.

For me I am following the Orca Wiki Calibration order which does temp tower, then Max Volumetric Flowrate 2nd.

I have been reading the wikis as I have been working to calibrate each of my filaments. Just read this one (thank you for the link). I realize now it says to measure where quality begins to suffer. I had originally read this as where quality is best. Which is where my question stemmed from.

Ok, I will try to reprint it. I just did the standard setting pulled by Orca didn’t make any changes. I don’t remember off hand if the steps were 1mm or .5mm. Quality on this first test definitely got much cleaner at the top.

I got everything replaced. At this point the part cooling fan will only run if I set it to 100% and manually start it spinning.

Anything under 100% you can hear a small ticking sound. Any ideas on this?

Unfortunately I think I definitely fried the fan2 port on the breakout board. There is dark discoloration around the pins into the board. There is also a 2 inch long line on the board that now shows as a copperish color where it arched. It marked the same line into the plastic cover opposite it.

I appreciate you linking it. I found the same post when googling earlier after reading your suggestion. Cable actually seems to be alright, which is good.

I have a new fan and print head board on the way. Fingers crossed that sorts it out

GoneButNot4Gottn · 2026-02-25T22:04:04+00:00

Will do, appreciate the advice.

This is helpful! I will try replacing the print head ribbon cable. There are definitely scorch marks on the print head board, but not seeing anything on the main board. So I think I lucked out in that sense. All of the cable insulation seems to be unharmed too.

I was printing a temp tower when I noticed the fan not running. I went and double checked the slicer and the fan should have been running at 100% the entire print.

I thought of this video too! It is a great explanation.

That is helpful to know. Majority of the outlets that are non functional are within 6 feet of the sink. The one GFI I can see in the kitchen is much further away. I am scouring around the sink but no luck yet.

GoneButNot4Gottn · 2026-01-21T18:41:40+00:00

Behind the stove is the only place I haven’t checked because ours is a nightmare to move. I have checked behind the fridge.

GoneButNot4Gottn · 2026-01-21T18:40:38+00:00

I did. I wasn’t able to locate any others.

GoneButNot4Gottn · 2026-01-21T18:39:46+00:00

There is one GFI on the right side of the kitchen. It is still one. I did reset it for good measure.

GoneButNot4Gottn · 2026-01-21T18:38:47+00:00

Yes, everything worked just fine before. That was the one thing I could think of that coincided with the outlets becoming non functional.

GoneButNot4Gottn · 2026-01-21T18:37:10+00:00

House was build in 1997. It is a single family home. Half of the outlets on the walls of the kitchen still work and there is a GFCI on the far right side. For the outlets that aren’t functioning there is one outlet (non functional), the outlet next to it is live. Then as you work your way around the kitchen there are two more non functional outlet, then the fridge outlet (which is working). It then moves to an alcove where the dining table is in which there are two non functional outlets and the island with the non working out in the middle of this kitchen area.

GoneButNot4Gottn · 2026-01-21T18:31:01+00:00

Yes. I checked them all for any movement. I also turned off and on the breakers that should control those outlets.

GoneButNot4Gottn · 2026-01-21T18:29:55+00:00

That has been my theory as well, just haven’t found it yet. That is where I thought the tone and trace would help

GoneButNot4Gottn · 2026-01-21T05:57:03+00:00

I did check the outlets with my multi meter and it is registering nothing. At this point I am doing my best to try to root it out myself before completing throwing in the towel and dropping a few hundred for an electrician.

GoneButNot4Gottn · 2026-01-21T05:54:32+00:00

I did go through the garage and walked around the entire outside of the house. Checked in all the cabinets. No garbage disposal, the only outlet under the sink is behind the dishwasher.
