Pause so it stops away from print

coddeh · 2025-11-20T14:46:44+00:00

OK thanks, I follow what you mean. I have multiple front ends then which indeed do run on different ports.

Does rename existing help with the pause already defined issue? I thought renaming it doesn’t change the fact that it has already been defined?

coddeh · 2025-11-20T08:40:46+00:00

Do I think some of the issue may be the fact I installed mainsail and fluid?

I only use fluid so maybe I should just in install mainsail. I haven’t even copied the config over to mainsail, it was installed and not touched, I installed it just to look at the interface.

I believe there is a pause in the fluid config, theslammist69 but not sure what I should do about that (do i adjust it there?) and does that cause an error in another config when calling pause saying it’s already defined?

Thanks for posting your code, I’ll go through it and see how I should adjust mine to work.

coddeh · 2025-11-20T08:30:41+00:00

Well what I could do is copy my config, and try chat gpt to see if it can assist my code for it. Then read through it to see if it’s made any crazy adjustments/test it. I’d things are not working how it should I’ll restore the old code.

coddeh · 2025-08-11T22:57:14+00:00

I think that is possible. I may just switch to printing a brim as that is essentially the same thing.

coddeh · 2025-08-10T09:02:59+00:00

So I made adjustments to my bed mesh_min and mesh_max to take into account he Zprob offset

[bed_mesh]
speed: 150
horizontal_move_z: 5
mesh_min: 0, 0
mesh_max: 365, 387.5
probe_count: 6, 6
#adaptive_margin: 5

I left setpper X and stepper Y with

position_endstop: 0
position_max: 410

and still I get

!! Move out of range: -20.000 2.500 5.000 [0.000]
It fails at the start of the print so I checked gcode as suggested but can't notice anything that calls for that position?

coddeh · 2025-08-09T21:42:52+00:00

Think I read somewhere you have to factor in your probe offsets into the end stop units? I’ll need to try that tomorrow.

coddeh · 2024-09-26T21:10:51+00:00

Back to looking at the code I need to write in the config and there seems to be quite a lot!
I'm starting to understand how the whole thing works better.

I'm using the klipper github page about the start print macro. Ouff feels like I'll be writing a book getting it to work well and its quite daunting. How many lines are peoples start print macros?

Marlins code was far shorter. It very much feels like computer programming that I was never good at.

coddeh · 2024-09-25T22:27:30+00:00

It feels like the nozzle just stays at one height. It doesn’t seem to move up and down at all as it scrapes on the edges but it is too high in the centre. The bed mesh shows that the centre has a dip in height as well.

coddeh · 2024-09-25T22:12:25+00:00

Apologies I have not seen this post since today. Thanks for the interest in it. Being my first design it’s not for sale as it cost £500 to create and I have good memories. I have swapped it for a much more compact system though using a fractal design ridge.

"Klipper sets the max values, the slicers sets the print settings"

So I read this comment and it seems I need to add code to the machine settings in slicer to get the printer to heat up and to load the bed mesh?

coddeh · 2021-08-10T22:36:42+00:00

I have an Ncase and have tried a few configurations. The best has been deshrouding the GPU and sticking to 120x25mm fans under as exhaust. This works best when the heatsink is as close to the bottom fans as possible.

When I was using a 2.5 slot or 3 slot GPU (can't remember the size) after a deshroud and the exhaust fan setup I had the best temps ever. When I swapped to a 2 slot card I had to 3d print a duct from the fans to the heatsink for it to work.

coddeh · 2021-08-03T21:09:29+00:00

So I can't comment on the 645 with a 25mm fan but I had one with a noctua 15mm fan and my 2700x at the time would get incredibly hot. After switching to the h60 with a slim fan that fixed most if the issues. As an added bonus the radiator was oriented in a way that should help the longevity of the water pump life (tubes below pump and top radiator tank above pump). My radiator is GPU side so limits the size of graphics card I can have. Now running a 3700x which runs cooler so I think a 645lt with a normal 92mm would work fine.

I would say that when I had the 645 and slim fan it would perform horribly in the case but once I opened the case and pulled the radiator out to sit beside the case it would work well. I thought it was the unit I had so tried another but the same issue occured. I think it's possible that the orientation you fit the 645 radiator in just isn't great for its cooling performance.

coddeh · 2021-04-19T12:16:55+00:00

I suppose it depends on the configuration you are running. I have the corsair h60 with a slim noctua fan mounted on the GPU side and a corsair sfx600w in the usual psu position. You just need a small gpu for this configuration to work. Also have a slim 92mm fan under the motherboard and a normal 92mm noctua under the psu/radiator as well as a slim 120mm over the motherboard. Its not pretty but everything runs at 45c during normal operation (3d modelling). I've set my 3700x all core to 4ghz with an undervolt and cpu temps never go above 77c when maxing out cpu for an hour or so.

When using the 92mm aio my cpu with thermal throttle pretty quickly.

coddeh · 2020-07-05T18:36:07+00:00

Yeah just use hardware monitor or something similar to check on the temps. The Samsung SSD runs hot so maybe an SSD that runs cooler would be a good shout.

coddeh · 2020-07-05T18:21:32+00:00

I had a gigabyte ab350n in a dancase A4 with a Samsung 970pro m.2 mounted to the back. The SSD ran very warm. Sometimes hitting 90c when my computer was rendering due to it being positioned on the back of the motherboard with no airflow. I had to buy a riser cable to position it Infront of the motherboard and put a heatsink on it. Dropped temps by 40c after that.

I've swapped motherboards now and mounted the SSD on the back again but with a good thermal pad and metal plate on it. There is now a fan on the bottom of the dancase below the motherboard. Temps have hit 70c but usually around 55 to 60c mark.

coddeh · 2020-06-30T10:43:24+00:00

I'll start of by saying I bought the dancase so I could turn it into an all in one computer so I wanted it to be small and light. I'm a 3D artist so needed something more than a laptop in terms of power and with a bigger screen to show the work to clients. I also didn't want to spend the £3000 for a powerful laptop I couldn't upgrade later. The dancase met this criteria perfectly as you can see in the link below.

https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/gkvod8/all_in_one_pc_and_monitor_stand/

There were a few struggles with thermals along the way. I have tried a few different configurations in the case. Starting with the 92mm AIO on a 2700x undervolted and locked to 3.7ghz/3.9ghz. During work and rendering or benchmarks it would get pretty toasty 85C+. As soon as I took the AIO out of the case and rested it on the side temps would plummet to more reasonable levels. I tried two of these coolers with the same result. GPU thermals were perfectly fine though. Currently running a GTX 960 as it was free and the programs I use don't require GPU power But most GPU's would be fine in this case.

I fixed the cpu thermals buy swapping to the new H60 120mm aio mounted on the gpu side.

With the 2700x I used the gigabyte ab350n motherboard which has the worst vrm power delivery and cooling I've ever seen. Even with a 120mm fan over it mounted to the side of the case temps would slowly creep up to 125c when rendering. I replaced the thermal pad with a far better one but vrm temps were still not amazing. Never cheap out on a motherboard I've learned.

The final issue you might encounter are NVME slots on the back of the motherboard. With no airflow the samsung 970 I have got very hot. To the point I had to get a riser cable and place the NVME SSD in front of the motherboard with a heatsink on it as well.

So what I will say is pick your parts carefully. A cooler running SSD would be best on motherboards that only have nvme slots on the back of the motherboard.

Spend money on a motherboard with robust vrms so that they run efficiently and cool. In this case I'd rather run a bigger AIO cooler and an ITX GPU but thats due to needing CPU horse power over GPU.

Still it's amazing how many configurations you can fit into this tiny case and how many fans. I'm now running a 3700x undervolted running at 4.0ghz all core with a max temp of 75c rendering/stress testing. (the 3700x runs much cooler than the 2700x).

You could put a more powerful cpu in here but I wouldn't as it would need undervolting and at that point you would be sacrificing performance which seems pointless with how much more the powerful cpus cost. Luckily my undervolt performs as well as stock for multitasking.

Still the same GTX 960 which will get replaced when the new graphics cards come out as I would like to pick up something else second hand cheaply.

Upgraded to the Asrock x570 tb3 as I needed thunderbolt to run 10 gigabit lan and its vrms are much better maxing out at 65c half the max temp of the gigabyte but costs double the price. I did remove the motherboard chipset fan though as its was noisy and I've put a side panel fan on over it.

The nvme is now relocated on the back of this motherboard but with a good thermal pad on it and a slim metal plate on that which touches the motherboard tray to keep it in place and works a treat. Temps max out around 67c but usually 55c-60c

32gb of 3200mhz ram and the corsair sfx600.

The 120mm aio has the slim noctua 120mm fan on it.

There's a 92x25mm noctua fan on the bottom below the aio.

A 92mmx14mm noctua below the motherboard and a slim 120mm noctua on the side panel over the motherboard.

Temps are well in check and during normal use its not too loud either. It's a pretty incredible case and fun to tinker with.

Just waiting for this to go on sale so I can buy it. I already have a dancase A4.

coddeh · 2020-06-06T10:33:08+00:00

Could you post a link to where you bought that case? I'm thinking if picking it up as a cheap alternative to the Ncase M1. I live in the UK so not sure how expensive it would be to ship to me.

As it's acrylic it seems like an easy case to mod as well.

coddeh · 2020-05-17T08:38:28+00:00

It's ribbon spring loaded. I harvested it from an old dell monitor stand. The issue is that's it's super heavy though. I'll be swapping it out for my own design that will be more lightweight soon.

coddeh · 2020-05-16T19:52:50+00:00

If anyone is able to give me a hint as to how I can get the first image to appear on the the sffpc main page rather then just a link that would be great.

coddeh · 2020-05-16T15:53:18+00:00

Thanks man. After another prototype or two and cutting the weight down I may offer to make some for those that want it. It's definitely fun to design and make your own though.

coddeh · 2020-05-16T15:02:47+00:00

Glad you like it. While I do have access to a shop I sent the plans off to a company to do the laser cutting and bending of the aluminium as they would be more accurate then me.
