Hey. I cant seem to figure out how to properly get my orion to work.
The sense seems ok, i can barely touch it and it triggers, however
when probing it does not sense anything untill it has bendt my carriage up like 10mm.
Ive tried different probe speeds and both analog and digital with same results.
im stuck:P
Im still at it and yet to find a sollution, however i think it actually has something to do with the speed of the print.
I belive it might have something to do with the speed overrides and adjusting print speed for layers below x sec.
Still trouble shooting
Are you printing outside perimeters first, or the other way round?
Maybe it's time to enable pressure advance.
Inside first, however ive tried both to same result.
Below example is inside-out
M572 D0 S0.1
M207 S4 R0 F4500 T4500 Z2
No changes. I've swapped filament. It seems like it's as good as it gets… 
Im printing another now
Force retraction between layers is checked in s3d
M201 X900 Y900 Z60 E3000 ; Maximum accelerations (mm/s^2)
M566 X600 Y600 Z60 E300 ; Maximum jerk in mm/min
M572 D0 S0
M207 S6 R0 F6000 T6000 Z2
Doing a test cube now with following settings:
Force retraction between layers is uncheck in s3d
M201 X900 Y900 Z60 E3000 ; Maximum accelerations (mm/s^2)
M566 X600 Y600 Z60 E300 ; Maximum jerk in mm/min
M572 D0 S0
M207 S6 R0 F6000 T6000 Z2
Since this post process script cought your attention here you go.
all it does it to change the retraction defined in s3d with g10/g11
So ive enabled retraction in s3d set retraction distance til 1.00mm and 6000 speed.
However these values do nothing since they are overwritten with g10/11
{REPLACE "G1 E-1.0000 F6000\n" "G10\n"}
{REPLACE "G1 E0.0000 F6000\n" "G11\n"}
{REPLACE "G1 E1.0000 F6000\n" "G11\n"}
{REPLACE "G1 E0.0000 F1800\n" "G11\n"}
{REPLACE "G1 E1.0000 F1800\n" "G11\n"}
and just to clarify ive used slic3r with firmware retraction and it produces the same issues.
For 500mm Capricorn tubing I would expect 6mm to be sufficient retraction, assuming that you are using collet clips or similar to make sure that the Bowden tube does not slide relative to the collets when you retract filament.
Do the blobs correspond to points where extrusion stops and a travel move starts, or not?
Ive been mostly using 5.7mm retraction and the results are mostly the same.
The blobs correspont to points where the layer starts, so on end of travel move between layers.
Ive been printing with outside-in direction, but switching changes nothing.
How long is the Bowden tube, and what hot end do you have?
