And retraction is shorter, with the LGX I need to go above 1mm, maybe even 1.6 where with the CW2 I am ok with 0.8.

Might have to give it a try. Thanks for the info.

20 links plus the two end connectors on X

18 plus two ends on Y

27 plus 2 ends on Z

Thanks! Good info!

Now that was a lot of crimping - next time I'm ordering a wiring harness.

Ad yes, I still have to tidy up, I know. No smoke, that's always a good start. On to configuring Klipper for the machine and then the testing will start

Blinkenlights!

That wiring should pass for a serial, but it is nice to get it cleaned up as much as possible.

Uhm I need a clean good wiring for a serial

Printing the cableducts and some extrusion covers. Just not much space in that bay.

It certainly helps. On my Voron 0, my first build I got a 97% upvote and took a month to get the serial. On the 2,4, a 100% upvote and the serial in a week. Coincidence ? Only difference in the videos, was the wiring in the electronics bay. But I really don't know how the decision is made, other than the criteria listed for applying for a serial.

Nothing as satisfying as looking at a clean, tidy install.

Well - can officially say my crimping sucks!!! Ran into a problem - ADC out of range. Problem - loose wiring/crimping at the canbus end. Ahh well - lets start over again....

[mvdveer]

Might be a good option to try that canbus mod again. Will sleep on it.

Could be the timing. There was one person forever and it got really backed up. Now there's several and response is supposed to be really quick.

Ran into a hitch. Me and my mods!  Tried the QuickDraw probe but got some strange behaviours. Doing a query_probe would correctly shows triggered without probe attached, open when attaching probe and triggered when micro switch depressed. Docking probe (manually) then changes the behaviour and probe shows open no matter whether probe attached or not. Only thing I can think of is poor connections at the magnets. 
 

So there goes that one. Tried it, dumped it. (Only reason I choose this probe was because of the dock for the switch wire). 
 

Will go in search for a dock mount for either the clicky or the Euclid probe. Only mounts I could find was for the Ender 3, but those are 2020 extrusions where the switch wire has 3030 extrusions. 
 

Will keep you all up to date once I get this sorted………

[RopusLongus]

Maybe you try the clickey probe with the servo arm then?

That's the one I have my eye on

That is the next option. Have ordered the servos. Hope to take delivery soon. Will start printing the parts this week. The servo arm was what discouraged me to try this initially.

Thanks - had a look at it originally but as said the servo arm was the deciding factor between this and the quickdraw. This is the next step. thanks for re-enforcing the choice 

[Buurman]

Now I watched this small movie of this servo arm... I think you have to!! hahahaha, can we make it to say "I be back" when he picks it up every time?

[RopusLongus]

I

You can add a second servo with raising a small flipper with "IBB"

[claudermilk]

I will admit the servo arm looks cool, if for nothing else than the Rube Goldberg machine aspect.

May look cool but a pain in the butt. Decided I do not have the patience for this. Went back to the Omron probe for now.

[RopusLongus]

Well seems I will stay for the omeron first. I hope it will detect the metal plate under the 2mm fr4.

But I have the servos anyway at home.

[mvdveer]

First Print started - no tuning - just need to see everything working as it should.

 

Enclosure to follow

Looking good!

Thanks, but I would rather build a 2.4 than a switchwire. This project made me more grumpy than I already am.
