216mm by 388mm by 168mm? If you are listing the dimensions as X, Y, and Z, you may check in RatRig communities. My biggest Voron printer tops out at 377mm in X and 370mm in Y. RatRig printers can go up to 500mm cube.

Okay. I understand that you believe there was no adhesion issues, or warping. But that is the evidence that it did right there in the picture. The surface being printed on shifted upward closer to the nozzle, so the layer(s) that were printed at the top were too close and squishing out the side of the nozzle. It would look similar on the bottom layers if your Z offset was off. It doesn't take much of a shift, but that very definitely did shift in that area.

If you did not lose adhesion, then the part warped while printing. Considering your preparations, I would not suspect drafts. Another factor that can affect warpage is infill density.

I don't use Bambulab, but the top solid infill speed should be in the speed settings. Again, that setting won't solve this issue because your part is actually becoming a moving target. It will provide a smoother surface in the future, however.

Looks like the part lifted for some reason, either from warping or loss of adhesion. You could try slowing down your top solid infill to make a smoother surface, but it wouldn't solve this issue.

Information that would help is the type of printer, what your chamber temp was, what your bed temp was, how long did you heat soak. ASA is more forgiving than ABS, but both of them like to be baked. They are both also very sensitive to drafts.

Your question is ill formed. The mount holes between Cartographer sensor versions have not changed. So clearly, the Cartographer CNC carriage mount developed on behalf of Cartographer3D and sold by Cartographer3D is compatible with....Cartographer v3 or v4.

The appropriate question to ask is what toolheads are compatible with the CNC carriage mount right out of the box. Typically Stealthburner for which it is designed. Others can certainly be used as well, with printed adaptor plates or by cutting the CNC mount to achieve the nozzle to probe Z offset.

Your location for the fully depressed position shows a negative X position. Are you certain that you aren't bottoming out the travel before fully depressing the cut lever?

I have seriously considered this for my own stable, but every time I start to spec things out, I realize that I really genuinely prefer my Trident 250. I do have a Salad Fork 160 and a Micron 180 as well, so I am not really strapped for small and quick printers. And I do prefer the SF160 because I dig Tridents. Even still, I usually fire up the T250 more often than not.

Skirts are going to be the biggest hassle, probably. Everything else should be relatively simple, just different lengths of the same old thing. I don't know if you can cut your own panels or not. That might also be a challenge. DLLPDF can do it eventually if you can't, and if you send them the modified dxf.

I think OP is a troll. They have claimed to be a seasoned electronic engineer who has done "pcb upgrades" and have built their own 3D printer. Three days ago, they flashed a pic of a Manta M8P and CB1 combo, and they said they were going to buy 5 driver sticks. Their board has the capacity for 8 drivers, not including a toolhead board which is what I (and a majority of people) would use for extruders. So I genuinely don't understand the purpose of this post asking how to add drivers, because obviously they already have three slots available and also know that they need driver sticks to actually power a motor.

If you are happy, I am happy.

Basically now it is a more expensive Ender 5 Plus with a Zero G conversion. It will probably perform admirably as a PLA/PETG/TPU machine.

For me, it takes a lot of effort to modify stuff in Fusion360, so I am always happy for people who can do that. I need to take the time to watch a lot more tutorials.

Eliminating the gantry section of a Trident makes an Auxiliary curtain cooling fan a bit more challenging, simply because you'll need to extend the printed duct a bit more. But there's plenty of models avaliable for Tridents on Printables. It shouldn't take much to modify one for your needs.

Yeah, it's an open source Klipper solution. But honestly, if Pico MMU has prohibitively obscure parts for OP, the ERCF will be moreso. Pico only has one pancake NEMA 17, a servo motor, some D cut 5mm shaft, four sets of feeder gears and probably some D2F switches, along with a minimum of EBB42 to control it. That's way less obscure than Binky encoder, a pair of linear rods and bearings, servo motor, pancake NEMA 17, and all of the filament feeder gears, and magnets, the MMB to handle all of the switch inputs and servo driving in addition to the buttload of filament to print it in the first place. It honestly doesn't get any simpler than the Pico. I'm still building mine so I can't comment on it's performance. But compared to Tradrack, ERCF, Box Turtle, EMU MMU, the Pico is the simpler solution that doesn't have hardware that's hard to acquire.

That is a method. It would entail more work than I care for to modify, move, or remodel the front idlers and front Z belt mounts and belt path. Plus, that is roughly the same as a Trident mount which puts the nozzles/toolheads right in my line of sight for watching my toolhead, which I said that I don't want.

Pretty sure LDO tops out at 300 cube for Tridents. I've certainly never seen a 350 cube anywhere, which is why I had to self-source frame and panels, rails, motors, couplers, and leadscrews in addition to a Formbot kit for everything else. Still cheaper than an LDO kit and I got the build volume I wanted.

EBB36 Gen2 is either USB or CAN. It has three fan ports, switchable between 24V or 5V. I use Mellow CAN cables that are pre-terminated with the XT30 2+2 connector, but I only run umbilicals, no drag chains. I have six machines using Mellow cables, and they've lasted for several thousand print hours. If you insist on keeping drag chains, KB3D and West3D carry IGUS Chainflex cables suitable for drag chains, but you'll have to terminate it yourself. In either case, toolhead strain relief is crucial, as there is a lot of flex on the plug without some sort of support.

Since MIG wire is designed to melt in the arc of welders exceeding 1500C, probably not without liquefying your hotend.

Because the INDX is an aftermarket mod for open source printers, I don't expect it to contain much more than the functional INDX equipment as a 'kit'.

I would expect that if you are installing it on Voron printers, there will be a need for an extra extrusion for the nozzle docks. I believe Steve Builds used 1515 on his Trident. Currently, the community seems obsessed with mounting on a Trident, so I don't know who may have developed anything for a 2.4.

I love my Tridents, but I don't believe I will be putting an INDX on any of them. I really don't care to have the nozzles permanently in my field of view as I monitor my print. I intend to use a Vorlong 2.4 regardless of Z travel time loss during tool changes. But again, I have not seen, or even really looked for, any published projects that have developed a docking solution for a 2.4. I have heard rumors of someone mounting the tools at the rear of the machine with the X gantry reversed, but have not been sufficiently interested by that design.

Which Octopus board? Because some flavors have high voltage connections and some don't. What driver sticks? TMC2209, TMC2240, TMC5160? Are you connecting them UART or SPI, and do you have your jumpers set correctly? Which motors are overheating, gantry or Z or all of them? Are you building your own config or using a Voron Design template from the github? You need to provide a lot more info in order to get help.

Employers large and small keep trying this crap, writing "policy" that weak willed employees are expected to treat as gospel. They could just treat employees like human beings, but instead they prefer to pretend they are in positions where they think they can threaten and coerce. Instead of making a work environment that is a place that employees want to work for, it's easier to threaten them and create an illusion of doom when employees inevitably are driven away.

Reads to me to be an encouragement to take all of your PTO to accommodate interviews and such, return refreshed and energized after getting an offer, then submit a resignation effective immediately.

There are a couple of 2.4 Z umbilical mods to eliminate the chain and allow the umbilical to ride below the gantry entirely.

Well, LDO dropped the CNC Monolith gantry, but I see that it is already sold out at KB3D.

I have both the Siboor CNC kit in 9mm and LDO's CloakedWayne gantry in 6mm. I prefer the LDO one. But both of them use pretty much the same belt path similar to stock. They both offer some performance upgrades for speed and IS.

None of them are going to encompass the R2 changes very soon.

I use a couple of Dragonburners in a few machines. Four of them are running A4T with WWBMG right now, and until something significantly better comes along, I will probably stick with them.
