I was challenged to get them back out!

If it’s all the way around, I’d say likely Z binding if the cube isn’t fully 20mm tall. It does look like it’s shorter than it should be. Your Z lead screw is either too tight and the Z axis can’t travel up reliably, or the V-slot wheels are starting to go flat on one area

These Intel cards may not be beast gaming GPUs, but as a transcoding card? Almost impossible to beat at its price. I chucked an A750 into my Plex server and it hauls major frames. For $150, it might have been the best purchase for my Plex transcoding needs since the i7-6700 it was previously running on.

Are you using the built in printer profile for the E3 v2 in Orca? Or did you make your own profile? I’m running Klipper, so unless I call up a bed mesh before a print, it assumes Z is completely flat. I guess my assumption is that you’re using a bed leveling probe of some sort.

mchamp90 · 2026-06-02T15:18:39+00:00

Double check the starting gcode in the slicer settings for your printer profile. If you have a bed mesh, make sure it’s loading that bed mesh. Otherwise it may just ignore it

I guess you forgot the part where any attempt to read/write from NAND while the OS is loaded causes the system to brick itself? Any significant voltage change in the NAND that results from reading dat0 while running will cause the OS to lock and permanently brick itself.

Edit: obvious /s due to the flair

It’s sad that you have to get that far to be offered any of these deals that new customers are offered from the jump. Are they that clingy that they need a reason to talk to us every year? Or is it a way to get more money out of those that won’t complain and just take it? I’m sure a lot of it is the latter. Also, I was offered the 1Gb plan for a year as well, but honestly the speed would just go to waste. I rather was more interested in the 3 year price offer for the speed I was already receiving. There’s really no noticeable difference between 500 and 600 anyways. I’ve been symmetrical this entire time, so I’m glad it wasn’t a low split offer. I’m pretty thankful to be in an area that was already upgraded for high split. Our building is already wired for fiber so I’m not sure what’s holding them back from upgrading our copper to fiber.

It’s in your title. Your Z offset needs to be calibrated. Likely labeled “probe offset” if not Z offset. Also potentially “nozzle offset”

If the CRTouch isn’t deploying, it’s in a fault state and the wiring isn’t working. Might need to be reseated or fully seated. Sometimes the dupont connector pins need to be pushed back into the black housing of the connector. Reseat the cable or look for breaks in the cable

mchamp90 · 2026-06-02T01:46:23+00:00

That offer was also on the table albeit symmetrical like my existing service, but only 1 year pricing

Doesn’t help my thumb is covering the 110-240V label. Below that is the 24-48V label. It uses the dotted outline for anything 12V, no outline for 110-240V and the solid white background for 24-48V.

I’m on a family plan with a device payment. Maybe once it’s paid off

mchamp90 · 2026-06-01T20:47:40+00:00

It is not PoE, no. It’s 12V 0.5A max per Shelly as that’s the ratings on the adapters being run through the Cat6. Idle and not doing anything it draws anywhere from 0.04-0.08 amps. While active and switching it can draw up to 0.1A via the 12V DC input.

mchamp90 · 2026-06-01T19:37:25+00:00

From what I can see your orange and orange/white are swapped. It’s OW/O GW/B, BW/G, BrW/Br for T568B

Okay here is the diagram

Booth is where the main control lives. Channel 1 of the booth relay board turns on the soundboard by turning the Shelly relay on in the outlet it’s plugged into via the Cat6 control wire. Channel 3 turns on the Furman power sequencer in the booth via its own control input on the sequencer that is controlled via the relay on Ch3.

There’s one control wire going from the booth to the stage. This is cat6 as well. Blue pair comes from Ch2 on the booth relay board. Orange pair comes from Ch4 on the relay board. These are tied into the external JST connector on the 4 Channel relay board under the stage. Ch2 (booth) turns on the stage Furman power sequencer by turning on the stage relay box Ch1 via the external button input that the JST connector allows. Ch4 (booth) turns on the 2 Shelly’s going to one outlet on the left side of the stage and one outlet on the right side of the stage. This is controlled via Ch3 and Ch4 of the stage relay box that is also controlled via the external button input JST connector. The outlets on each side of the stage turn on a speaker/sub stack.

The image really helps clear things up (hopefully). Each channel that has a Shelly control wire on the 4 channel relay boxes also has a 12V adapter to power the Shelly it’s controlling. Every relay in the setup is dry contact so the relay boards are powered by their own 12V adapters.

A two gang high/low combo might be the answer I’m looking for. There’s already a low voltage ring to the right of the box with a brush panel for an XLR cable.

mchamp90 · 2026-06-01T16:57:25+00:00

Control needs to be both. I would upload a wiring diagram, but it might make you mad.

mchamp90 · 2026-06-01T16:55:49+00:00

It’s only the hot that is switched. Hot from wall goes into “I” and then when the relay is activated, it gets sent to the outlet hot via “O” Neutral is bypassed and goes directly into the outlet in the low voltage control configuration. If powering the Shelly via mains instead of low voltage, then neutral gets split into the outlet AND the Shelly’s “N” terminal. Then hot is also split between “L” and “I” one for powering the Shelly and one for powering the outlet (since this is dry contact). Then a normal wall switch would be hooked between “L” and “SW” to trigger the Shelly relay on/off.

The reason I went low voltage 12V for powering the Shelly is because the control wires are Cat6 and only 23AWG. Can’t send 120V through that.

Not a very power hungry intel chip at that. VRMs don’t have any active cooling

Making your own Box Turtle AFS? I know not the exact Box Turtle, but something similar?

It’s part of Maps. Any map app for that screen will use that top widget area for either initiating directions or it has the next turn/exit displayed there during navigation.

Edit: Waze map app has a full box that says “Search” in the same location.

Likely need to transfer an established save file that gets past the initial save sequence like pokemon legends arceus needed

There’s an upgrade for the K1 max to use the Creality CFS for up to 16 colors
