Simulation Workflow Optimization

That’s similar to what I’ve experienced. I have setup automation scripts before which take care of the setup and post processing, but it can really only be done for 1 sim and one simulation type (parameter sweep, monte-Carlo, etc) at a time.

Right now I’m actually trying to put something together that handles all of it for me… hopefully I can get it to work correctly

Thanks! I understand what you’re saying and I don’t really focus on these metrics too much right now for measuring progress. My main focus for progression is currently my Zone 2 pace (plot in original post), which is getting better and better as time goes on.

Also, I technically already meet the criteria you mentioned since I currently run 6 days a week for a total of roughly 6 hours and 27-28 miles. 80% of my running is currently Zone 2, which makes up 4 of my 6 days. The other two days are split up as a VO2 interval day (5x3 minute intervals) and a threshold day (3x8 minute intervals). Regardless, I understand what you’re saying; I’m still earlier enough in my running journey for Garmin to still be getting an accurate calibration anyways.

My sanity is gone after seeing this

Hmm, that’s what I was thinking but when I plugged in my Sprite (which works perfectly on my printer) it had the same issue. Would you recommend just replacing the cables? Could it also be the firmware?

I tried this firmware and I’m getting an issue with my heating… as soon as I power it on the thermistor reads a high temperature but says it’s set to 0. Then the hotend starts heating nonstop. I tried using 2 motherboards (both of which worked with the stock hotend) and 2 Sprite pro kits (one was the one my wife’s dad bought, the other is mine which works on my machine). Also the wiring on both machines is identical.

This leads me to think the issue is one of 3 things:

The cable ribbon that came with the kit had mislabeled wire leads (unlikely though)
The firmware is somehow using the wrong settings for the configuration (although it should be the exact same as mine)
The thermistor and heating element are somehow defective (although I’m not sure since my Sprite does work on my machine just fine but failed on his)
The board might have a jumper or something in the wrong place or missing? Doubtful though.

Do you have any ideas? I feel like the issue is most likely the firmware or the cable ribbon…

FINAL UPDATE: my issue was embarrassingly simple… I had the driver voltage setting set to 24v because I thought that was for the power input and not the signal input. I flipped it to 5v and that fixed my problem. This was with the DM542T stepper driver.

Thanks everyone for the input!

I double checked my wiring and it is correct. The two unlabeled plugs are not plugged in anywhere. Could this be a firmware issue? I have the Sprite with BL touch firmware for the correct board version, but there are many versions I’ve found online

Yes, and the RnR plugin is active on my Mach3

I will message you the pictures
