@phaedrux Bad wire confirmed. I ordered a new one, hooked it up and no more problems. Thank you!

Is there a way to adjust either side of the dual Z setup? I found that I'm off by quite a bit. Thanks!

@dc42 Okay, so this was the latest error I got today
M0 H1
Warning: motor phase B may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 3

Which motor should I consider suspect?

I get this warning when my machine is working. It just started and I have no idea why.

Warning: motor phase B may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 3

I was able to print a tiny robot perfectly with no supports last night. I tried to print a part I created and, again, with no supports it printed okay but the thinner portions failed at the top of the print where they had succeded before. I then tried it with supports but it failed misserably. This causes me to think of another calibration model I tried with a hole on the side and a relatively thin wall. The wall was fine up to the hole and then where the nozzle started to print again, the model failed at that point for a few mm and when the flow seemed to kick up again it resumed normal print.
Was there a change in the new Cura that might explain this? I tried a fresh profile to see if something might be different in Cura, but it had the same result. When I did a test extrusion, I noticed that I got a really thick stream of filament coming out of the nozzle, so I'm not sure where the problem lies at this point. Up until the power outtage a couple of weeks ago this printer was top-notch. I'm using PLA from Eryone and I've had great success with their products before and this spool has been the same up till now. I'm rather lost at this point. And for the record, all axis including the extruder are properly calibrated.

Thanks for the help folks, moving on to the next round, G32. It does the first probe just fine, but then X tries to go negative and rubs the belt (that da-da-da-da-da sound) but then continues on to the rest. I can't find where the odd plot number is..

@hbrownell Never mind. I just needed to update the firmware to 3.22.. it was still on 2.05.

So, I just did the update to 3.2 and my BL Touch is not connecting apparently.

I followed this image to make my connections.

@phaedrux Last question (Hopefully) I erased the old drive but there were several folders and one zip file on it. The new build has but 2 folders sys and www. Do I need any other files to make this work or just plug it in and go?

@phaedrux Got it, but I think I caught another error. I'm missing M671 no? and M584 should be ;
M584 X0 Y1 Z2:4 E3 yes? Because Z is running 2 and 4?

@phaedrux Awesome! I'll plug this in right away! Out of curiosity, what command SHOULD I run to do the dual z leveling? I've just been using G29 and leveling the bed from the data. I also have to manually level the x gantry which is a headache and I'd like to be done doing that.

" I would also uncomment out the M561 at the start of bed.g (and add it in to your homing files too). That way you know for sure that mesh compensation is deactivated whilst homing and running bed leveling. "

So, to be clear add this to homeall, homex, homey, homez files?

@hbrownell
I set my PWM to heater 3 and here's where the pin is so I'm hoping I'm right.

@phaedrux
I did check my extrusion calibration and it's spot on. I tried with a couple of prints I found on thingaverse and got some okay prints but near the hole and starting the next layer it was under extruding. On one of my own prints (Which I've done many times before) about 2-3mm up and it just disintegrates (under extrudes). I'm currently working my way through upgrading to 3.2 so I don't know if this conversation would be mute anyway.. I'd say just mark this one as solved since the network was back up and running.

@phaedrux It certainly fixed the network issue though the prints are terrible now. Very under extruded and I'm at a loss for why that is.

@hbrownell thanks for the help!!

@hbrownell Okay, so I found another thread that had the similar issue. I had to rebuild the network connection. It lives again, and I'm assuming updated to the latest software.
