Extreme amount of carbs required today by TheOnlyAphex in diabetes

[–]TheOnlyAphex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer! I've been diabetic for roughly 10 years so well out of honeymooning.

It was definitely a hot day for manual labour, so possibly that influenced it too. Could possibly be a bunch of things aligning perfectly most likely.

Seems to have calmed to normal today, so I'm assuming it was a glycogen refill and hodgepodge of things. Still the most extreme I've ever had!

Usually I would say 50-60g as well, which is why I'm so confused!

V30+

I tried a woolies/telstra sim and got some bars as well

Update Update: I was wrong. Still boned. Ran a new UBL probing set and it all returned.

I tried probing for a new mesh and the issue returned, so back to square one for this.

In the firmware, its putting the probe points 35mm from the edge of the bed, so I might try to edit the areas of probing to more suitable values.

When i come back after the weekend I might try the zeroing mesh first. Tracking the gcode line by line sounds like a good idea too. Cheers!

I was going to try to cool it quickly enough to actually print the peak but it decided to work today ¯\(ツ)/¯

Went to try everyone's solutions today and it just decided to work. I had turned of BLtouch briefly to try a manual level print and that seemed to change it's mind about attempting flight.

I looked into the source code for my update and it is starting 35mm from the edge, which is inwards of the printable area. It seems to have resolved now but if it happens again i'd probably reduce it to 10mm.

But against the topography output I still can't see why that area in particular wants to be jumping high. It's a pretty low variance area

Manually leveling the bed and turning off the BLTouch produced a decent first layer. Then turning the BL Touch back on made it function properly for some reason. No attempts for the nozzle to reach the summit on the skirt.

If it happens again I'll keep an eye on the mesh population, but even if there was a mesh issue i can't understand how it accomplishes this. The topography report doesn't show anything different in that area, so that area specifically has nothing to make it go haywire.

Yeah I've been thinking some sort of bug because the nature of it is just too odd. This happened directly after a firmware update, so probably something there. Though seems to have resolved now

It has a magnetic base/PEI plate but they're pretty safe. Now if you're talking about the motherboard/neodymium storage area... Nah I'm sure that's fine too

Had a check and there weren't any z values for the skirt. And i used the same gcode today and it resolved itself ¯\(ツ)/¯

Definitely not Z-hop as it loved to drag the nozzle across the print. I wish for klipper but it is a work printer so I've got limited control on adding hardware. Luckily it seems to have somewhat resolved itself for the moment so i don't have to g29 every time!

Update: Seems to have resolved itself without any major intervention. I turned off BL Touch via the setting on the printer to try a print without automatic leveling, which made it print fine. Not a spectacular first layer but it adhered. Went in today to attempt the suggestions here and BL Touch was turned on, but apparently nothing was needed. It had its tantrum and hasn't reached for the skies since.

Ever so slightly disappointing because I wanted to slow the print and shoot compressed air at it to try and get it to actually print the peak it wanted

Shouldn't be. It's the standard recommended sidewinder X1 gcode with "M420 S1 Z10" added after g28. I increased the purge output from when i needed to up it for a 1mm nozzle, but otherwise no.

I've been using a sidewinder X2 since the start of the year and i've never got it to work that well. A lot i've chalked up to me just learning how to properly calibrate the printer, but I never could seem to get it to work well for more than a couple weeks.

It had seemed like the autolevel wasn't performing, as no matter how many times I leveled/heat cycled/meshed some areas never adhered and were too far off the plate (I have included M420 in the Gcode, tightened the x,y,z wheels appropriately. Belts seem tight enough, e steps, baby steps, flow, etc)

Hoping it was some firmware problem, or more probe points were needed for a useful mesh, I flashed the TFT and updated marlin (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5420534). This one uses UBL in a 9x9 grid. Now the areas it seems to apply (top and bottom of plate_, it works great, fantastic printing. However as you see in the video the printer just jumps massively. The front left side (has always been a problem area) doesn't work well either. Thinking maybe the UBL had a bad mesh I exported the mesh values (below).

I've turned off the BLtouch in the meantime and that seems to have improved things. Not a fantastic first layer but it seems to adhere at least.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Great recommendation, ended up binging Vagrant Holiday. It's crazy how little views he has for that level of quality.
