voron 2.4 questions

[madmike46]

I' building a voron 2.4 in 350 mm size.  I have klipper loaded on my rp4,I also have the firmware on the Octopus v1.1.  When I boot up in mainsail I get moonraker not connected to klipper.  In mainsail under update manage I have an message next to moonraker " Repo has untracked source files: ['moonraker/components/timelapse.py']" 

I'm lost on figuring this out, I might be over my head on this build.  Steep learning curve that's for sure.

I have not noticed any question marks after a G28 or a bed mesh. But the z-motors turn off after a while. Once the z-motors turn off, the gantry will not be level anymore and you will need to do a g28 again. 

I did some testing and after being idle for about 3-5 minutes all 3 axis turn off, kind of like a power saving feature.  I just run the axis around for 10 minutes with no issues.  I am just waiting for more wire to arrive then it shouldn't take too long to melt plastic.

feature of Klipper.

In my printer.cfg file I have this constant:

-----------------
[idle_timeout]
timeout: 1800
-----------------

I guess that is seconds. so in my case it is 30 minutes. And here is the Klipper reference in case you are interested

Once you have the extruder spitting out (Follow the steps about setting up the printer from the klipper3d and vorondesign pages I I posted before), you can go on to further finetuning your printer as described here. You will there see more about the z-motors.

I found your here, there links before, helped me tune my lowly Ender 3 V2 with Sprite hot end/ extruder.  printed all my Voron parts.

Thanks for that Dirk.  I ran across that with all my learning, just couldn't find the link again.  I will have to add that to my printer.cfg.

@madmike46 when you decide to go with Canbus lot of use use this terminal block to connect the H&L wires to the Octopus Canbus port (RJ11). Trim about 2 or 3mm of the black plastic around the RJ11 connection side. This will allow the block to seat properly into the port.

PFarm I have those already, I also have access to pliers and telco connectors as well, just have to remember to have your strain relief on before crimping connector  Ask me how I know?

It's Alive.  It took a bit but I got it going.  Now to figure out how to get a video up.

Congratulations! 

A video is easiest if you upload it elsewhere, and link it from here. (Unless you make a video of less than 4.88mb ) Youtube? GDrive with public access?

Oh what a feeling ! Well done. Let's see that video!

Congrats on getting it printing. I'm just about there with my build as well. I've used my Google Drive to upload the video for my V2  and shared the link in the serial # request.

A little further on  for the Benchy.

[madmike46]

I am amazed at the print quality so far, as well as the speed, compared to my Ender 3, this thing is the Road Runner.  I'll post photos of the Benchy when done.

Post photos of your printer

And you probably have not even done the 'tuning' steps on Ellis' guide. Will take a bit longer, but see what it does then!

Congrats on getting it going. I had the same thoughts when I got my Trident going. "Holy smokes, this thing is FAST! And the benchy looks so good!" Coming from the Prusa Mini.

I'm using Bigtreetech'sEBB sb2209 rp2040.  I will look at Dirk's links, I still like the idea of only 4 wires going to the tool head.  I did get my Tap working today as well as QGL.  Been saving my printer config file after every success.

Im having issues with the same setup. my tap is not triggering. how did you solve this?

Have you sett the endstop pin for Z to probe:z_virtual_endstop

You also need to comment out "safe_z_home"
