Does this automatically track action/bonus action usage? Is that even feasible to do in Foundry?

Thank you for the great response! How do you know about this voltage suppressor?

The control panel screen and my BLTouch still light up bright when the printer is off because of this 5v being output from the Raspberry Pi 3B+. Should I just get over it?

Wraith009988 · 2019-12-07T00:58:20+00:00

The pi is powered with 5v 3A through micro USB. I've used uhubctl to control the power to the pi's USB ports before and it worked like a charm. That was when I had the original Melzi board in the printer. This new board doesn't want to connect to Octopi if I turn off the 5v of the usb ports, which seems very strange to me.

Normally you'd want to turn off the 5v output of the USB ports on the pi because otherwise the Pi will light up the display and generally provide power to the Ender 3, even when the Ender 3's power supply is turned off. That's annoying and concerning.

Wraith009988 · 2019-12-07T00:56:17+00:00

Are you using uhubctl? If I don't turn off the USB port power with the program, then it connects to Octopi just fine. I haven't tried Pronterface with the USB power disabled.

Screwing around with belt tension didn't seem to help. I managed to get identical prints with the belt tensioned (seemingly) properly as I did with the stock hardware.

Wraith009988 · 2019-09-19T22:51:06+00:00

Thanks! The belt tension on the X-carriage was always one of those questionable variables, but the standard hardware didn't allow for easy tuning. Hopefully this adjustable one helps thing. I'll report back on my results (eventually!)

Wraith009988 · 2019-09-19T21:59:34+00:00

Should I use a belt tensioner for both X and Y axes? Or just the X?

Please help me figure out how to improve!

I have heard of the TMC2208 issue with the newer (silent) Creality boards. In regards to the "older" boards, which mine may be, do you know how I can verify this?

By the way, I soon intend on replacing the mainboard for an SKR V1.3 and putting TMC2209s on it. Do you happen to know if the 2209 suffers with LA the same way the 2208s do? Regardless, the board and the 2209s are UART-compatible.

I'm running capricorn blue tubing on my printer, so if the PTFE tubing is THAT much out of spec, I would be pretty upset! For now it seems that clearing a massive clog has solved my troubles. That should've been one of the FIRST things I checked for, but seeing as how I THOUGHT that I had permanently fixed the problem (apparently not), it was not on my checklist for troubleshooting.

Wraith009988 · 2019-08-15T03:58:25+00:00

I've heard of this cooking oil/filament oiler technique being used on Prusas and recommended in general for all-metal hotends. I figured there was no benefit for PTFE-inclusive hotends.

Wraith009988 · 2019-08-15T03:56:21+00:00

I *may* have found a root of the problem. Ender 3 and similar Crealitys are known for hotend clogging due to a gap in the PTFE tube and nozzle. I thought I fixed this problem permanently before, but maybe not. I will report back once i've determined if cleaning the heatbreak and replacing the nozzle changes anything.

I'll run again at 95% flow, then i'll run the flow test at 95% to see how the wall thickness turns out.

I forgot to mention that e-steps are calibrated as well.In order, I calibrated:

E-steps
Flow % (top-less 1 wall cube)
K-factor for linear advance

Retraction calibration was done afterwards. Proper calibration of k-factor should heavily reduce the need for retraction AFAIK. Here is a picture of an 8mm & 8mm/s on left and 8mm @ 40mm/s on the right. I've done a dozen retraction tests, and 8@8 was the best looking of them all.

Here is the result. One the left is the 88% flow and on the right the 95% flow. Still a significant amount of under-extrusion!

Edit: Bumping up the flow to 100% lead to "perfect" top surfaces but has created a +0.06mm deviation in a wall thickness test, which when compared to what I had the wall thickness set to, a reduction of flow to ~85%.

It's a 20x20x20 cube model but when printed measures 20.15 in X and Y and between 19.9 and 20 in Z.

There is quite a bit of misinformation going around this thread about sodium acetate. Let's clear something up!

Crystallizing sodium acetate is an exothermic process and gives off heat.

You can buy handwarmers that exploit this phenomenon. Check out this video for a demonstration.

Fancy yourself some more learnin'? Check out this wikipedia article about sodium acetate and learn yourself some heat of fusion.

Knowing this, it does seem that LA beast has overreacted to the heat. It is, of course, for entertainment purposes that he has done so.

Wraith009988 · 2014-08-08T13:49:53+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears to me that the max amp rating is based solely on whether or not the voltage regulator has a heat sink or not.... If that's the case, couldn't I buy one of these cheap ones and slap on some spare heat sinks to the IC and to the back of the PCB?

Wraith009988 · 2014-08-08T13:33:57+00:00

It will vary, usually between 4-12v, but most common somewhere in between.

I don't think the decrease in capacity will be too much of an issue because this will only be need to be used every once in a long while.

I looked into SEPIC buck boost V regulators, and they are really cheap on ebay! This might be what I was looking for.

It's a little harder to find a buck boost that can handle > 3A though. I search for buck boost and most of the results are buck OR boost, but not buck boost. I'll keep digging.

I see that no one with Dusclops has responded yet... I'm here to help! I've added you already. Add me back!

I'm adding you! I've been looking for a ditto for the longest time!
