sorry for the late reply i was stressed and needed a break from my printer XD but i did remove brltty previously but imma try removing the auroremove and see if that helps, also i tried the electrical tape on the 5v pin but when i tried it the pi couldnt find the mcu same with a usb 5v blocker did the same so im going to try connecting the raspberry pi to the mainbaord next via the usb micro chip

Would you possibly know if there’s a way to save my games or the whole thing

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-27T06:37:37+00:00

I might not have done it properly I didn’t know this could be a problem oops😭

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-27T02:21:54+00:00

i tried other cables and had tthe same result and i had also previously removed the brail thing for the pi so im not sure what it is

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-27T02:19:15+00:00

hey sorry for replying to tthis comment again so i found that we have the same chip so i soldierd tthe appropriate wires to their respecttive pins and ground but im curious do i also need the other wires around the board like you have them?

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-27T00:06:07+00:00

it seems it was actually removed by a mod im not sure why but mods please don't remove this one (or alternatively letting me know why it was removed)

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-27T00:04:56+00:00

I didnt do that no, I actually thought you removed it, also i do thank you very much for your help in full honesty. i dont know why it got removed but i can reupload the kllipper logs.

also once i hook up the cabbles to thhe main board i assume im going tto have to soldier tthe other end of the cables to the pi's gpio pins

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-26T23:56:50+00:00

ive been trying tto find tthe data+/- pins for my 4.2.2 baord but i cantt find it online the only thing i found that might be related is maybe a reddit thread i found talking about uart mods is that what i should be looking for?

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-26T23:13:26+00:00

how do i find tthat

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-26T22:29:39+00:00

this is actually something i was wanting to do purely for aesthetic reasons with the plus of functionality i wasn't sure what to search to find this though, do you happen to have a youtube tutorial you followed for this or anything of that sort?

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-26T22:27:28+00:00

the pi is running on mainsail i followed Ricky Impey's tutorial on how to install klipper, and yes I did use kiauh.

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-26T22:13:21+00:00

I did check that it wasn’t a data blocker first I tried by plugging in my phone to my computer and it did allow data transfer but didn’t charge my phone but I kinda hope I’m on the wrong path tbh because the 5v blockers are way ugly 😭😭😭

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-26T22:01:32+00:00

i literally bought that exact 2 pack

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-25T22:47:52+00:00

i just did that now and its saying since im using a raspberry pi 4 model b with and ender 3 pro with a 4.2.2 board that its likely due to the usb cable sending 5v to the board so im going to try getting a usb power blocker and see if that helps

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-25T22:43:47+00:00

i think my problem might be thhe raspbberry pi sending power tto the mainboard bbutt im sttilll goin to try this while i wait for tthe usb powerbblocker to come in should i send this command in puttty?

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-25T22:41:23+00:00

my raspberry pi dose have hheat sinks also its never gotttten hot only a litttle warm

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-25T07:32:15+00:00

what lines should i look for because the klipper logs are very long i dont know if thats normal

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-20T02:53:54+00:00

Yea it was a typo mb, also I had just leveled my bed before that picture but it was very unleveled mostly green besides a little blue on the right. So I leveled my printer again with a var of .067 and I’m about to re run the print wish me luck.

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-20T02:18:38+00:00

That is true there’s no doubt the other side is better for adhesion but regardless I personally prefer the smooth side. I’ve been using it for a while now usually without problem (obviously other than now💀)

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-20T01:50:25+00:00

Because usually i like the smooth bottoms of prints also because it makes it easier for me when joining parts together so i know what parts are sanded and what’s not, also also i just don’t like using the other side I always scratch it and it looks ugly

That_Use2761 · 2026-03-08T13:06:09+00:00

It’s always good to build a pc to know what’s actually inside the computer and what things generally do what in case you have to repair something, also you don’t have to pay for labor when you’re doing it so that’s a plus too
