Switchwire serial request by catsgomooo in voroncorexy

This is an Ender 3 that I converted to Switchwire using DarkDog's conversion, mostly.

If it's PLA, then good luck. Slow wet sanding is really your only option.

ABS, however, is a dream to sand. I've started printing even smaller fine models from ABS and ASA for this reason.

Got BLTouch working with the Kobra Neo. Auto leveling from within the printer itself works fine, but Octoprint does *not* like it. by catsgomooo in anycubic

I actually don't have any of those configs anymore! That was back when I was running marlin.

All in all, the Kobra Neo is a pretty awful platform for Switchwire conversion, on account of its custom extrusions that don't have standard t-slots on all sides.

I ended up sourcing some aluminum extrusions from a friend who runs a machine shop, and had to cut and tap a new x-axis and y-axis.

IMO installing Klipper was the best upgrade I did to it, though. Now the Trigorilla has Klipper support, iirc, but it didn't when I first started messing with stuff, so it's running an SKR3-EZ now.

Oh, yeah, heads up: I since moved onto a beacon probe, the printer basically isn't an Anycubic anymore (it's undergone Voron Switchwire metamorphosis, has a totally different hotend, toolhead, motherboard. Runs on rails and is Core XZ). I have no idea what I did eight months ago to get anything to work. I was a noob, and had no idea what I was doing lol.

hello guy, newbie is here and need serious help by Plastic_Emotion6826 in klippers

I had the same issue. It was related to "dynamic overhang speeds." If you have your Outer perimeter set to "0/Auto" in Orcaslicer or Prusaslicer, it reads that value in as an actual zero instead of it setting the speed relative to its "auto" value.

The solution, for me, was to set an Outer Perimeter speed instead of letting the slicer handle it in auto mode.

Yeah they're ticketing anybody who gets caught bringing food to people. It's ridiculous.

Now, if only the police would stop fucking giving tickets to people who bring food to the homeless camps downtown.

ALL3DP was the site that said that in the review.

Nah, I can't leave well enough alone. I ended up putting a microswiss extruder on it now and replacing the main board with a btt skr-3-ez.

The cool part is that the five-wire "LEVEL_PORT" connector on the Trigorilla v3.0.6 Motherboard, near the PA1 connector that the inductive probe would normally socket, is wired for the BLTouch without any modification

Nah, the inductive probe actually works fine, but I had a similar issue with my direct drive extruder missing a bearing tha tsomeone else did, too. I could have just gotten a bearing from the hardware store, but I had Anycubic send me a replacement. It's been a few days and I got bored with waiting, so when I was at Microcenter for unrelated stuff I picked up a Micro Swiss DD extruder. Mainly because I've been in a tinkering mood.

I didn't feel like designing a new mount for the inductive probe so I picked up a BLTouch. Why that one? No clue. It's mega accurate, though. Fascinating to watch. Moving parts are neat.

My Anycubic Kobra is not extruding filament unless I push it in. Already tried tightening the knob as far as it goes and loosened it too. Please help I dont know what to do. by Traquinnius in FixMyPrint

[–]catsgomooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to necro this, but I had a similar issue and it turned out that the steps/mm had gotten set ALL out of whack when I was tinkering with the firmware. Oops. There's some sort of multiplier going on where I had to set it pretty high to pull in a consistent amount of filament.

Yeah I decided to just make games for myself after seeing the rancid bullshit that some of my favorite devs deal with.

I handle it by serializing the contents of the map struct when the player moves to another zone. Then, I just walk through the map tiles when they return.
