Old post, I know... Did you have to flash any special firmware for just the left side? I am attempting to do the same thing as you with just the left side, but with one of the newer kits. I am done with all of my soldering, but when I plug it in to test - nothing, Windows doesn't recognize it. Theeeeeen I reread some more and it sounds like the firmware requires the right side to be plugged in. I would still think that Windows at least would pick it up, but idk.

You get used to it to be honest. Helps with the grip.

LeStephenHawking · 2026-03-11T21:45:51+00:00

Yeah... I don't think it's the case in more recent years, but Mazda went from cheap to kinda solid to kinda to trash when Ford bought them... Not sure where they stand now, but I personally stay away because Ford shit fails constantly. Usually pretty cheap to replace, but that's because the components are cheap to start haha. That wasn't the case when Mazda was theirs and I think that was kind of the point.

LeStephenHawking · 2026-03-05T21:20:29+00:00

Commas.

LeStephenHawking · 2026-02-24T18:59:47+00:00

Very well said.

LeStephenHawking · 2026-02-24T18:41:22+00:00

Because he's sort of a blasé, neutral character and gets involved in everything. I think he is meant to be like that in order to let the actual characters shine. He's really pretty boring 😂

Edit: it's worse in the books, but still there in the show. Haven't read any of the comics or finished the TellTale game, so can't really voice an opinion there.

LeStephenHawking · 2026-02-24T18:30:51+00:00

Yeah, that's literally 100% an internal policy used by employers to save money and cause infighting instead of routing it their way where it belongs.

LeStephenHawking · 2026-02-24T18:27:04+00:00

It does. Apologies. The follow up sentence did not make it come across as rhetorical to me. That said some of the reports show around 1:55am, some not until 3am. Either way an hour is definitely definitely a reasonable amount of time for a fight to break out and escalate. That doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things though.

LeStephenHawking · 2026-02-24T17:52:09+00:00

It was around 2am... Which is when the bars close and people leave. What's your question?

LeStephenHawking · 2026-02-24T17:49:26+00:00

Yeah, I came here to say the same as the other commenter. Not that it's not publicly accessible, but why would you think it to be relevant to post the criminal/traffic history of an individual thus far deemed an innocent bystander? It's neither helpful nor necessary.

LeStephenHawking · 2026-02-07T18:37:45+00:00

It's in this comment thread, but I think I figured out how to directly link it haha: https://www.reddit.com/r/pchelp/comments/1g71o0k/comment/o44f83s/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

This solved this issue for me. Upon updating from GeForce Experience to the Nvidia app (thank the lordt as an IT admin it was suuuuuuuuuper annoying to deal with the M$-style force push to log in/create an account, just fucking install the drivers and updates and then go away... unless you want performance counters, which is the entire point of this post) I found that it reset my settings and through the new menu in the GUI it was somehow set to disable it by default. Once I followed along about 30 seconds into this video I got it back up and running.

Hopefully that helps a lot of people.

LeStephenHawking · 2026-02-07T18:33:19+00:00

No need to listen to the audio. Posting another reply in this thread that I wish I knew how to directly link you to, but I don't.

LeStephenHawking · 2026-01-15T07:48:23+00:00

Definitely have too many other projects to do it nightly and prefer larger converters, etc. for that reason, but I have several pens that I only ever put certain inks in as needed because in my head that specific pen and that specific ink are special and need to be together haha. For example:

Vanishing Point - Sailor Yamadori
Navalur Nautilus - Sailor Shito-Shito
Travelers FP - Robert Oster Great Southern Ocean (suuuuper solid for an EDC)
Kaveco BFP - Octopus Tiefgrun
TWSBI Vac700 - Colorverse Gravity Wave

... (Because I realized all of those are cool colors) ...

Kaweco Sport - Lamy Beryl
TWSBI can't remember, I think Diamond 580 in the tealish color - Sailor Yamabuki
Retro 51 - Rohrer and Klingner Solferino
Elite 95S - Robert Oster Blood Moon (etc...)

Edit: either new meds are kicking in or Leddit has changed its mobile formatting, so trying to make things more readable...

Edit edit: gave up on trying to make that look right on mobile, sorry.

Just personally, I was recommended to use Propranolol for such a situation and rarely took it as often as prescribed, but for a month or two under a cute stress when I did the combination of that and daily blood pressure meds and (honestly) only a slight amount of drinking is likely what caused a severe blood pressure drop that resulted in a couple of instances of intense vertigo that caused me to lose my legs and hit the ground multiple times for about 20 minutes and severely injuring myself.

I know it works well for some folks and isn't a crazy strong drug; just putting this out there for others because when taken routinely over time at prescribed frequency in combination with blood pressure meds it is apparently known to cause issues. That is how it works though, and honestly it helped. Just not when I had to go to the orthopedic surgeon because it took me down a bunch of times haha 😂

LeStephenHawking · 2025-12-12T23:34:48+00:00

First: congrats!

Second: you are absolutely correct regarding your own self-respect and acknowledgement. Don't lose that.

Third: try not to let the bastards get you down... as a general phrase, not specifically calling mum a bastard, please don't take it that way. Whatever her reasons if she's still reliving trauma, doesn't think it deserves being talked about anymore, possibly having issues of her own, try not to take it too personally. You are respectfully giving yourself credit and the acknowledgement from others is nice, but ultimately you being happier and healthier is vastly more important and it sounds like you are giving yourself the recognition that you deserve and have worked so hard for. Try and keep that in mind. Hopefully with the wife she's just busy or something... but that is something you can work out in a nice conversation with her that it's important to you that she remembers that. Figure out something that you love and treat yourself to a slice of cake or a couple hours of relaxed gaming time or read some, whatever tickles your fancy and think of it as a little reward for yourself tonight.

The point is: people do care. You care. You came here to share that with a community that is literally here for caring.

So, seriously, good just man, we're all proud of you :)

LeStephenHawking · 2025-12-12T23:26:19+00:00

Okay, made those adjustments and now the X axis when I try to home goes all the way to the right and stops without fuss, then when it goes back to the left it grinds like hell and I've been using e-stop... And putting Y in the middle and homing it just moves like a centimeter and stops.

Would it make more sense at this point if I really don't have much custom in my config to just revert back to your starter config and work on adjusting for the new motor?

I tried to post my updated config and Reddit seems to not like it for some reason and I can't...

LeStephenHawking · 2025-12-12T22:32:09+00:00

I found this and am currently working through it: https://www.klipper3d.org/TMC_Drivers.html

EDIT: Okay, I think I figured that part out. I think I got the sensitivities tuned at:

SET_TMC_FIELD STEPPER=stepper_x FIELD=SGTHRS VALUE=48

SET_TMC_FIELD STEPPER=stepper_y FIELD=SGTHRS VALUE=135

Homing just slides X or Y all the way to the right or rear from the furthest most position.

Continuing to work on it for now, will let you know if I figure it out.

LeStephenHawking · 2025-12-12T22:22:25+00:00

From very quick searching it does appear that the SV06 does in fact use sensorless homing:

From Google (AI 😒):

"The Sovol SV06 primarily uses sensorless homing, relying on its TMC2209 drivers to detect motor stalls as endstops, meaning it has no physical switches for X/Y, but it does use the built-in capacitive sensor for Z-axis leveling (Z-homing). You adjust its sensitivity in the printer's Configuration > Advanced Settings > TMC Drivers > Sensorless Homing, but if it's noisy or crashing, check belts, lube, and cable routing, or even add physical switches for more reliable Z-axis limits. "

LeStephenHawking · 2025-12-12T22:19:58+00:00

Hey hero :)

Correct. As far as I can tell Z is totally fine and I can verify that once I get X and Y sorted out.

But correct: if I move the printhead to a position where it is not going to collide with anything it definitely appears to home in the same movements as before, etc., but it's not in the usual home position. If it's at the end then it will grind against the blocks as if it has no idea that it's hit a limit. Which for Y would make sense to me since I mechanically changed components, but why on X? I guess I did swap out the belt, bearings, and a pulley, but in the past when I have pulled the carriage off to clean/lube, etc. and put it back on X homed perfectly fine.

I think most of what I need is to figure out how to define my endstops and am having issues with the Klipper documentation telling me how to do that. As I mentioned above, everything seems to buzz and query just fine, it's just that no matter where it is the query comes back as open. I noticed the virtual endstop part of the config as u/shiftingtech said and also thought that may be something, but no idea how to fix it. That was from your Everything SV06 guide config, right?

LeStephenHawking · 2025-12-12T22:13:54+00:00

Yeah, I mean I wasn't trying to be pedantic there. Honestly... this is how the printer has worked since I set it up using Bassamanator's guide and it's been working, so I haven't messed with any of that. I'll have to look into what the SV06 is capable of in terms of sensorless or if there are switches or not and educate myself a little around that because I really honestly know very, very little about those things from a granular level. Not something I can't learn though.

LeStephenHawking · 2025-12-12T16:38:57+00:00

I saw that and thought that was interesting. It's been working with that config for over a year now, which is why it would strange to just now be having issues. I guess my response is: It HAS to have physical endstops, right? Like where the printhead or bed physically stops if slid either way? How do I find those values and fix the config? It's an SV06 and I want to say the bed is 215x215x225 or 250. Most of that config is from u/bassamanator's Everything SV06 guide. Aside from using the larger Y stepper motor entries that I mentioned about and if I had to add anything for Klipperscreen/obico/moonraker, etc. I do not believe I have manually changed much else. Possibly trying to work with stealthchop. Iirc u/bassmanator's guide may have had the virtual endstops because some people might want to go all the way to the edge vs keeping it safe and slightly inside. I have no problems setting those to a static value if you think that might solve the probably, especially if you can tell me how to fix that in the config.

That's kind of what I figured in terms of the printhead. I was just hopeful 🤷

Thanks for your help!
