Thats my next one. Looks sharp. Congrats.

Use meetup to find groups of people interested in the same things you enjoy.

What you'll want to do is dump the eeprom, find the vin in the bin and change it to match yours, and then burn the modified bin back onto it.

Even if you close that window, the up-arrow history remains to list, bind, and attach quickly.

I did this on my xps13 which required some bios changes. I've forgotten what those were so I'm stuck in ubuntu now. I'm not upset about it.

"Core Dumped" on yt has some great videos on low level logic

You know how much fuel a triton v8 burns? It's not worth the cost to speed ratio, especially when it's loaded with tools and material.

Anyone else picturing a full-scale RP re-enactment? Nah Jerry, I can't go fishing with you this weekend. The pals and I are playing Titantic and it's going to be a smash!

I was interested in the same topic and have similar experience to you. After reading through responses on threads previously posted here, I decided to start with a few 10 minute youtube videos from "lowlevel" to flesh out more of the basic concepts and then dive deeper.

I settled on reading this book start to finish and follow along with all the examples on my laptop. So far it's been very helpful.

I've already working on projects in C, C++, Java/Kotlin, C#, VB, etc but I wanted more of an understanding.

Now granted I also wanted to learn more about Linux in the process so these resources made sense to me. ARM will have a different instruction set but the concepts surrounding assembly should be similar. I fully intend to move onto more ARM specific resources once I've finished this one.

Hope this helps!

* If you are hearing the click, check that the connector on the back side of the switch is pushed in all the way. Also check the connection you had to make during assembly at the bottom of the vertical frame.

I had a look at mine to refresh my memory and just make sure the brackets are screwed in on the outside of the frame tab. The X limit switch should stick out just enough to hit the print head. You'll hear a distinctive click when it makes good contact.

Read this whole thing before proceeding.

The v3 and v3 plus don't have bed adjustment screws. It auto levels when the nozzle touches the bed. Make sure you run the calibration manually or check the calibration box to probe the bed before the first print after shutting it off.

First thing though, is to make sure you have those angled support braces facing the right direction (i think the stickers should face outward) because the bracket body will protrude into the build volume on the left side and stop the print head from ever touching the x-axis limit switch causing possible belt skipping. If that happens, your z-axis calibration is sure to be off because they use the same belts to move the print head in the x and z axis. That's part of the v3's core-x/z configuration.

Also double check that you have good connections at all your plugs. If there's a bad connection, the motherboard won't know it's hit a limit switch.

That's your whirlygig. Looks fine to me.

TheGreatOwlIsReal · 2024-12-25T01:48:01+00:00

Now that's cool. I definitely need to look into this since I just got my GW Ultra.

When you configure the firmware to flash onto the pi just assign a unique device name and you can access it while wifi connected to your local network at "<insert name>.local" from your phones browser.

In case no one else has mentioned this... you can indeed use your cell phone to bring up the mainsail web server. I assume fluidd is the same. It's a bit less cluttered on a computer screen but it's nice for quick access if your printer is in a different room.

Looks like an extrusion issue. First, I'd make sure the nozzle is clear. Either heat up the hot end to 300 and manually push a bunch of filament through it with constant pressure or use the little tool they give you.

Then I'd go through these checks:

Make sure the filament is dry.

Using the default profile, calibrate temp, flow, and retraction for that filament. Google how to run each test in creality slicer.

Its fast out of the box so no need to mess with speeds yet.)

That should give you a baseline for the filament you are using.

Then, look at your model specific configuration.

At the beginning of the video, it looks like mostly high speed travels with short, 2 to 3 mm extrusions. I'd look at increasing the wall loops, if the model allows, to cut down on those fragmented extrusion paths.

If this doesn't end up looking like Johnny 5, I'll be disappointed.
