@alankilian I have it right before the extruder, I am trying to avoid placing it in line between the Hotend and Extruder as I have had issues with that with the BTT smart F sensor on my other machines. Changing the sensitivity seemed to do it. I was able to print with it. Sensitivity can be adjusted later should it be too weak. My esteps look good so I have my doubts about that being a root cause. I am happy with the progress made on this now. Took me a year to figure out what we did in these few days. Ill play with the settings but the root issue has been solved.
Thanks so much!
