Loophole

Kinda, but they all need to be done before I can start printing again. I replaced the entire hot-end, so I basically have to redo everything:
- Rotation distance (distance traveled per one rotation of motor)
- Hot-end PID calibration (controls heating)
- Z-offset (how far above the bed the nozzle is from when the z-stop triggers)
- Resonance compensation (printing fast can cause ghosting in the prints from resonance frequency)
- Pressure advance (reduces nozzle ooze)
And all of that is just so I can print a mount to use a magnetic z-stop (normal is contact probe), then I get to do it all over again.
Then I need to do temperature and acceleration towers for each filament material.
Must the magnetic z-stop mount be printed on your machine specifically?
If yes; do a calibration step or two each week and you'll be done by xmas
If no; print one at a local makerspace/public library then do a calibration step or two each week and you'll be done by Thanksgiving!

wrote last edited by [email protected]that touch sensor is very good to make sure you don't need to calibrate z offset. saves you from having to fiddle with it, and always makes perfect 1st layers. excellent upgrade.

This actually works for me. I will add another level though, sometimes instead of going back to the original project I start it over again because of something I learned in the second project giving me a better approach to the first. Mostly do this with programming

huh I think I have been unconsciously using this and it actually works, somewhat...

Didn't work. Now have 50 unfinished projects. Help.
I'll help you, but I started helping someone else.

You mean the PINDA touch sensor?

I mean, it doesn't have to be, but printing upgrades for your printer is part of the fun. But my job does have a maker space I could use.
Honestly the calibration would only take an hour or so, I just have to get around to it. The longest part will be setting up Klipper on my pi4 to replace the less powerful ODROID I'm currently using, because I plan on starting from scratch with the config.

yes, or others. there are probably better alternatives but this will already help a lot.
