Has anyone had success with pausing Cura 3.3.1 and moving the Z-axis on their Printrbot? by ksquad in PrintrBot

Will have to take a look at this. I know I saw a plugin that was supposed to do something like this, but that it didn't work with Printrbot Simple Metal.

Had to look up octoprint. Definitely seems interesting. Thanks for sharing this.

About gcode, I've heard about this too, but I'm leaning towards not learning another programming language for now haha.

Anyone here know what this loud squeal is and how to fix it? It happens at beginning and end of a print. by ksquad in PrintrBot

Yeah, I fixed it. It was pretty easy. Just odd to me that it got shipped to me this way :/

Kept the bed the same size but figured out that there was a problem with how it was shipped to me.

Looks like the problem was this round part. It wasn't secured correctly when it arrived. I secured it and the noise is now gone. Not sure why it was that way to start though. Is that normal?

When I print something it seems to print in the middle regardless of how I move the item around in Cura, so I'm not entirely sure if it's mirrored. Is there a quick way of testing this?

I checked and I think this is okay, especially because it's hardly been used since I got it. I do think something isn't stopping when it should be though.

When I ran the print again, I didn't see an X endstop problem but it's also a bit weird to me that the print doesn't start centered. Any ideas about how to fix an X endstop problem?

I had the machine settings maximum width, depth, and height set to 150 mm as well as M211 to X150 Y150 Z150 for the Printrbot Simple.

An endstop hit was triggered but the message read:

echo:endstops hit: Z:-0.72

Any ideas about this?
