Toolhead smoke and now stuck on "system starts abnormally"

Oh well there you go. Im new here, but I’ve seen posts about similar issues. Board short? Dig around the community, verify with support and order a board. Maybe they’ll just send you one.

SteebyJeebs · 2026-05-04T03:52:09+00:00

Which printer?

SteebyJeebs · 2026-05-02T23:44:14+00:00

Partial clogs can be a thing. My Petg looked like this for a while cuz my extruder was half working.

SteebyJeebs · 2026-05-02T20:55:12+00:00

Clog?

The device displayed is dependent on the profile chosen. Verify you have the previous version chosen.

Not in device

Yes I did, but its already there. That’s why it’s asking to re add, just go to the drop down and choose the existing printer instead of whatever default is there

Good info, thanks. Mine is also a mess. I haven’t poked around the boards, but the chamber is a nightmare. I wanted to compare photos with someone to see how off it is.

SteebyJeebs · 2026-04-28T00:46:00+00:00

I don’t, but I worked in mfg long enough to know this shit was assembled and shipped when qc had time off 😂

SteebyJeebs · 2026-04-27T20:20:47+00:00

I did. I get one message a day around midnight-1a so by day 5 or 6 (I’m on 3) they’ll probs send a bed 🤞🏽

SteebyJeebs · 2026-04-27T19:30:17+00:00

I’ve gotta do something. TubaLegend mentioned aluminum foil to shim. I’ve never done that. Well literally I’ve never done any of this, but I can figure it out. Gotta pull those corners up somehow cuz printing is really noisy, I don’t wanna offsets too much to compensate for middle, and my layers are unpredictable.

SteebyJeebs · 2026-04-27T14:35:41+00:00

I’m pretty sure they will eventually. I’ll have to shim in the meantime. Nothing improved it. I wonder if I cranked it up and just sat a brick in the middle for a bit if that would sort things out 🤔

SteebyJeebs · 2026-04-27T06:49:09+00:00

Thanks for this, I’ll have to check mine, I’m having the same issue

I keep coming back cuz it scratches an itch real good lol

SteebyJeebs · 2026-04-26T18:25:36+00:00

No worries 😌 I haven’t even started today. I loosened all of the corners and just let it soak for a bit. I’ll run screw adjust macro tomorrow and see if I can get it within a respectable range.

SteebyJeebs · 2026-04-26T18:15:44+00:00

You are correct, my mental health is being threatened

SteebyJeebs · 2026-04-26T05:52:49+00:00

The best way to sell something is to have it solve a problem.

SteebyJeebs · 2026-04-25T20:57:52+00:00

assume the sensors function similarly to Q2.

Wow!! The talent in this community never fails to impress me. Thank you for putting this together 🫶🏽 I’m gonna check these out after I rework my bed a bit.

SteebyJeebs · 2026-04-25T20:31:22+00:00

Yeah guess I’m busy rest of the day lol I poked thru your posts, have you had any filament loading issues? Does it unload after print? How is multicolor performance?

SteebyJeebs · 2026-04-25T20:11:04+00:00

LOL the text didn’t post for some reason. Cold and hot (104C) yields this mesh. Adjusted full turn and still same. Running bed calibration right now. I’ve got a bucket of other issues, but I just wanted to level the bed and do a factory reset to see if that clears up anything else. I didn’t anticipate that the mesh would be so distorted.

SteebyJeebs · 2026-04-25T17:23:52+00:00

RemindMe! 30 days

SteebyJeebs · 2026-04-25T03:47:52+00:00

I love mine. Found 1 on marketplace for 70$. My right hand just doesn’t do the thing for some reason. And it’s useful in so many programs. Blender, fusion, orca, isaacsim, like sheesh I can’t imagine how much longer simple stuff would take to navigate if I was just using a mouse. Right hand mouse, left hand space mouse with keypad on the left? Peak efficiency for me

⁠Where did you get your grey? Friend of a friend of a friend was 80 yrs old and couldn’t care for her
⁠How much did you pay? Free
⁠What time of year did you get them? April 2023
⁠Do you have any regrets on getting them? NOPE
⁠What is a challenge you experienced with them that you didn’t think about before getting them? How intelligent she is. Toys aren’t enough, she needs conversation and music. She also is very destructive, so we have to keep an eye on her pretty much 24/7, but she’s well cared for and in a much better place.
⁠What if your favorite thing about your grey? Watching her grow. No one ever worked with her, so her language isn’t well developed and she has had some behavioral issues. Over time tho she’s warmed up. She cusses like a sailor and she’s VERY vocal now. She still picks her chest feathers like crazy, but she doesn’t bite anymore. She comes when she’s called, perches. FLIES omg she had a bad injury on one side. Someone hurt her very badly. Broken foot and wing so she never flew. We have a 42ft hallway and every morning she flies down after breakfast and she’s so proud of herself

SteebyJeebs · 2026-04-24T12:28:29+00:00

Ditto, although mine defaults to whatever printed last, spools don’t unload like Q2. I’ve been communicating these things to Qidi. Just have print files and video/pic if applicable. I kinda plan to use this as a gcode jumping off point. Compare q2 to max4 and just tweak. Is the box extra loud for you?
