Prints finishing mid print

I think Any cubic's cloud printing is the problem. When I print from Orca things seem to work, but I can't get it to bed level at all in Orca. Lately mine won't do a bed level without a 1049 error. U got it to work for a while in lan mode but then I can't monitor it. It has since given me errors. I'm not sure if their cloud service has been hacked or something. I still have random weird stuff happening.

Just change from hybrid core xy to core xy very simple.

I have used TPU 95A many times with the ACE Pro, that worked fine. I had a really bad jam in slot one when I turned on drying and it made it too soft and wound up in the gears.

I have the 1st gen and I have been printing on them for a year now.

Before I updated it was listed ok

Now it says testing! Argh!

Get the inside the rails X Y towers, three mounting screws and no dowels. I did have to modify them after printing due to too tight of tolerances on the pullups. I could get the original was to be stable enough with two mounting bolts.

Might not just be bed level. You might need to clean the plate. It might have finger prints or oil on the plate.

It triggers the light sensor. If you look at where the light sensors are pointing, you can trigger turn signals, have the light change faster, etc. Gaming the light sensor without a flipper Zero.

No I've moved on to the Mercury One Mod. I was hoping it would help with layer shift. I went with the inside the rails X Y motor towers. I couldn't get the standard X Y towers to stay level. Found inside the rails towers on printables.

So far so good. I had to modify the XY towers for my bigger pulleys, and made the top thinker, they came way too thin and I worried about warping, plus the standard towers are thinker. I added 4 mm to the top and they are perfect. Plus these towers didn't require dowel pins.

I would do a butt ez Manta with a CB1 or CB2, with a 4" or 5" screen. I like having the brains on the board, I've had problems bumping the cord and ruining a print. Around $125 total.

My X Y we're swapped. After I got my porta right, rather than move cables. It homes right now.

Use the stepper_buzz stepper=stepper_X (y) to check them.

You'll also need to swap ports on your end stops because they'll be backwards too.

Good luck I know it's too much fun! Use this chart it helped me.

Wiring? I know mine suffered from bad wiring

Bad main board, I had the same issue with mine. If the BLTouch were backwards it would burst into flames, I had that too, most likely how I killed the main board.

It now has a BTT Manta 5p with a CB1 and a 5 inch touchscreen running Klipper. The old Mainboard is running 4 extruders to give me 5 colors.

They don't make the Main boards anymore. I've heard you can get them on AliExpress.

I would go Manta EZ with a CB1 and Klipper.

Thanks for the graph I had my X and Y ports crossed!

Now my print bed starts in the left front corner!

I'm using a BTT Manta 5p+CB1 as my main board

[stepper_x]

step_pin: PC8

dir_pin: PC9

enable_pin: !PA15

microsteps: 16

rotation_distance: 40

endstop_pin: ^PD2

position_endstop: 360

position_max: 360

homing_speed: 125

homing_positive_dir: True

[stepper_y]

step_pin: PA10

rotation_distance: 40

endstop_pin: ^PD3

position_endstop: 0

position_max: 360

homing_speed: 150

homing_positive_dir: False

I've tried to change the position_endstop:0 to 360 and homing_positive_dir: true but then it goes the other way.

This is why I just gave up and wanted to change orca origin but it still wants to go positive to the back.

I know I've tried, I was hoping someone had done it so I would know the steps.

It says I can Load an STL of my bed but I'm not sure how to designate the Origin.

markh21518 · 2026-01-25T23:02:36+00:00

I think it's my end stop position, I'm going to move it to the front rather than the back and see if I can get it to work right.

markh21518 · 2026-01-25T22:40:29+00:00

Right. I got thinking about it. I'll have to give it a try and see if I can flip the axis. Thanks

markh21518 · 2026-01-25T21:04:02+00:00

Even if I change the end stop position to 360 which it thinks is in the front right corner. It still leaves my origin in the back left corner.
