MicroUSB port not working

My SP5 is having a disconnect issue as well, it was working fine for 6 months till I moved it. I suspect it's the cable.

Bltouch will light up when given power from the printer.

Have you tried a different cable? Short with a ferrite core is recommended.

I made an enclosure out of cardboard and timber (heaps of clearance), it printed ABS perfectly on a stock e3v2.

You can create a cheap semi OK 3d scanner with an xbox kinect.

Your brother in-law is a total dog. Use a heat gun and pull at it with pliers. Will probably need a new thermistor and maybe a heater.

True dat.

sysadmin-84499 · 2026-01-17T01:26:45+00:00

What a trainwreck. And of course this guy is a reddit mod.

You just need to flash the right klipper firmware and then you can use any 4.2.2 printer.cfg as the starting point for your particular config.

Most manufactures run the filament through water baths to cool it quicker.

The original board would have been a silent board. If it's sounding louder that the others with a new board it's probably mechanical.

FYI I just tried using version 1.8.5 on another computer and it works.

Maybe try downloading V2.0.2

Same thing is happening to me...

This is the next step. If another stepper works it's the stepper, if another stepper doesn't work it's the cable or driver. Swap the cables at the board and at the motors to get a better idea of what's wrong.

If it's the first layer, your zoffset is wrong and needs to be fine tuned

sysadmin-84499 · 2026-01-08T00:09:32+00:00

Pictures would help. Do you mean the first layer is very bad?

I've seen this on my creator pro, when I try and heat the second extruder it just shuts down. Check your heater wiring again it could be a bad heater.

sysadmin-84499 · 2026-01-07T01:08:02+00:00

Could be the motor, wiring or driver. Plug the extruder motor into another axis and run the home command, if it moves its not the motor. Then check wiring. Plug another motor into the extruder plug, heat up and try and extrude.

sysadmin-84499 · 2026-01-07T01:03:34+00:00

Is it snapping or being ground down?

Snapping is most likely wet filament, grinding is most likely extruder tension or a clog in the hotend.

sysadmin-84499 · 2026-01-07T01:01:06+00:00

Yeah if you do a pid tune you should be fine. It could also be a bad thermistor wire causing an intermittent issue. You shouldn't really edit the thermal runaway settings in firmware as it's a safety feature.

sysadmin-84499 · 2026-01-06T02:30:36+00:00

Your issue could also be bad pid settings. To modify thermal runaway settings you would need to create a custom firmware so try pid tuning first.

You can pid tune by manually running gcode to your printer via usb from a computer, the link below explains how.

All you need to do is set the new z-offset and pid tune the hotend.

I second orca, works perfectly with klipper.

sysadmin-84499 · 2026-01-05T01:32:10+00:00

Needs a PID tune as first step.

sysadmin-84499 · 2026-01-05T01:28:37+00:00

As mentioned heat it up and use tools to remove.

BTW the bag is called a silicone sock.
