@invertmast Another thought I had while cleaning up the mess from my most recent upgrade. Is the ethernet cable you're using solid or stranded. Solid core wire doesn't like to flex and can break internally, but still provide conductivity 95% of the time.

Machined aluminum parts are SOO nice! I havent had a problem with my entire motion system in over 2 years! With the exception of my Z axis stepper. But that's understandable, i think my main mistake there was using a 1.7 to life a 25lb bed platform...

And looking up the Dyze sent me down a rabbit hole. I'm liking the idea of their pressure sensor extruder for leveling. It's almost as if the upgrades will never stop!!!

Haha. Yes the upgrades never stop! I made sure go get a stranded, flat ethernet cable. The issues were present even during the first hour of printing after the upgrades.

Ive got four nema 23’s in a integrated mount with 1605 ballscrews for my z axis. The build plate is a 600mm sq. Piece of 10mm thick Mic6 aluminum w/ pei ontop of it and a 1400w mains powered silicon heater mat. Its pretty stout and the four 23’s will move it at 100mm/sec and pretty impressive jerk/accell settings.

Dyze’s horizon bed sensor looks interesting. I use a precision piezo orion on both of my printers are have had amazing results with them.

@invertmast

Still haven't figured out what is causing the sensor error's, even with running a separate 3 conductor shielded cable to the sensor outside of the drag chain from everything else.

Sorry to hear that. I have no further idea of potential reasons, although reading the forum quite intensely.

With the filament-error.g set to just ignore sensor error's, i've got mostly one entire print without an unnecessary pause.

Great! I’ll try that myself, especially as I just encountered some of those sensor errors during my latest print. Among them, there was a single nozzle jam reported, so I still think the MFM is an invaluable tool as it saved my 22-hour print.

@Phaedrux Thank you, I appreciate it.

I don't have massive spools, but I also use a bearing hub to keep them rolling smoothly, and I had the same problem of over rotation and the filament coming off the edges and getting tangled. I added a reverse bowden tube that went from a block fixed to the printer frame and then to the extruder, but it wasn't actually attached to the extruder. This allowed a fair amount of filament to be unspooled into the PTFE tube and added a bit of friction as well.

There might be a picture of what I mean in the link in my signature.

i have a setup like that to! lol. Its dangling though and i have thought about moving the spool up the printer frame so the bowden tube actually hangs below the spool Centerline hoping that will straighten things out. My trashcan is working pretty well right now though. haha

@dc42

I have one of those, so i'll give it a shot.
