Join Serverarc fitting problem crash mcu
Hi everyone... I noticed that when printing some round objects, with speeds of 500mm/s and high accelerations with arc settings, the klipper crashes... it gives me the error in the photo... I deactivate arc on the slicer and everything works perfectly... I set arc resolution to 0.1… too low?

homing issue
Hello
When I try to home my Ratrig which is a 500mm build. The home z shows 450 and stops at 448. Upon reversing the direction of z motors it goes up and first error shows is no endstop for z and when I redo it after that it crashes on the tool head....

V minion heater bed on the fritz
Howdy everyone, my heaterbed out of no where started giving me issues, and updating all the firmware didn't work either. It takes roughly 5 full reboots to get the thermistor to register the temperature. I'm assuming the thermistor probe is just dying, but at the same time it doesn't fail once it starts working for a print. Anyone have a similar issue in the past? And if it is the probe dying, how much of a pain and $ and I looking at to fix it?
Z Tilt fails
Whenever i start z tilt procedure my right z motor stops working.
I am able to do the homing procedure and i am able to run the following command flawlessly "STEPPER_BUZZ STEPPER=stepper_z2".
I am kind of stuck now and wonder if anyone else here is able to resolve this?
Cheers...
Question regarding changing thermistor sensor pin
Hi Y'all,
I'm pretty sure that I fried the sensor circuit for the hot end thermistor on the BTT octopus V1.1 board. I'm trying to change the T0 pin from PF4 to PF5 to see if that circuit would fix it(Picture below).
I'm very much a novice with klipper and octopus so forgive the basic questions. Is there a simple way to redefine TEMP_0_PIN in ratos or do I have to build a whole new octopus board firmware.bin with the new pin definitions?...

Cannot get a consistent first layer distance.
I've been running into this issue for a while, trying to calibrate my first layer using the first layer test. I'll run it, adjust/babystep until I have a value that I like, and save it. Then, when I run the same test again, same gcode, the print will start further away from the bed again. I never had issues with this on Klipper before. I've included my printer.cfg. Please ask any other questions you think will be relevant.
Getting More Consistent First Layer and Z Tilt Issue Related?
I'm having trouble getting a consistent first layer. I've had this problem before, I do the first layer leveling and get the z offset and I get a good first layer with the test print. But then when I go to print something the first layer is always bad and I get bad adhesion making the print fail usually. Sometimes it is so solid I can't get the print off and other times I just tap it and it'll pop right off. I keep lowering z offset as a result, but then the first layer becomes too or squishes too much leading to a non-flat layer. So then I increase the z offset to give it more room. It really is a pain, and then first layer height seems to impact it as well so I've started just using the same first layer height to try to make it more consistent.
One thing I tried is I thought maybe there's a problem with the z-tilt so I checked all the motors and they corresponded correctly to the expected stepper drivers. I tried lowering the tolerance for z-tilt to 0.01mm instead of 0.02mm, but as a result it seems to fail multiple times with the reason that z-tilt is increasing after 4 tries or so. After a few tries it ends up with a tolerance of like 0.004mm and then it starts to print. So I don't know if that's indicative of a problem or what is going on and why it would be increasing.
The pictures are from what I am getting now and what I was getting before, the blue is the more recent one. I tried multiple nozzles, I don't think it is clogged....

Thermistor wonky when N / L are switched
So my heatbed thermistor (orange) showed weird fluctuations, sometimes random, sometimes very regular.
After a lot of troubleshooting, I noticed it went away when the 230V lines of the heater are not connected. Reconnecting them: wonky again.
I checked all cabling (no change) and then had the idea to switch the plug of the printer around (so switching neutral and live), and now its gone as you can see on the second picture.
So its fixed, but any ideas what was causing those fluctuations? Is that maybe an indication of a bad SSR or something? ...

I accidentally cracked a magnet.
Is it okay that it’s cracked like this? Will it work if I just add a drop of superglue to hold it together? Or do I need to just buy a replacement magnet. If I need to buy a replacement could you please provide a link for the magnet?

idk where the linear rail supposed to be…..
Is the linear rail supposed to be touching the XY idler? Pls help asap!!!

Heater extruder not heating at expected rate
I get this message:
"Heater extruder not heating at expected rate
See the 'verify_heater' section in docs/Config_Reference.md"
I tried to follow the config_reference and put the values in printer.cfg, but now I get the message instantly when I heat hotend or do a PID calibration. Earlier it was just at random temperatures but I could reach target temperature by redo "target temperature" mutiple times (after reset firmware) - now it wont even start heating. What to do?...
V Minion bed heater issues
V Minion been working fine for months and 1000+ hours. Last week I tried to print and I got not heating errors... sure enough my bed isn't heating at all.
Things I've tried:
- reseated heater wires
- confirmed thermistor is working (to the best of my abilities)...

Unable to extrude (new printer)
I am assembling 400 machine from ratrig standard kit and have yet to print. Motors and heaters and fans all work as expected. From Klipper screen, pressing the extrude button does not do anything
Steps: Start machine. hot end is set at 200deg C. Klipper "load filament" and the gears turn on LGX Lite. filament advances. Press extrude or prime blob and nothing is seen.
Retract and unload turn the extruder backwards and filament moves out of spool end of PTFE tubing. ...
no trigger on probe after full movement
I need some help, while is doing bed leveling before start printing the probe goes out of the bed and it says no trigger on probe after full movement, any idea how to fix that? Its a vminion
Thanks...
4028 Fan weirdness
fix-my-printerBit of strangeness around my Delta FFB0412UHN 4-pin 12V 4028 fan. Its hooked up as documented here: https://os.ratrig.com/docs/guides/4028 It mostly works. 0% fan is off, 100% is jet engine. So far so good. But there are some strange things
1) It doesn't seem to come on until the percentage is about 7%.

Loud rail sounds
I recently installed the toro tube and regreased my rail,their smooth,but as soon as i install the x-gantry the y axis rails are extremely loud and sound like the balls are crunching
controller fan not shutting down
My controller fan is not stopping after the time specified, 120 sec, The only way to stop the fan is to reset the firmware or restart the printer. I have a 2nd controller fan that I've set the overrides on and it continues to run after 120sec as well. It is triggered by the activation of the X stepper motor...although what is the X stepper on a corexy? Any suggestions on what to change/look for to get the fans to shut down after 120sec of no movement? Hmmm, what starts the timer for fan shutdow...
issue with deploying probe
Hi,
The printer is making beautiful prints and I'm happy with it. But sometimes if my toolhead is on 400x 400y and I run the probe deploye ( Euclid ) the motors seems to fail steps. Here is a video for demonstrating the issue. I'm running at 4500mm/s...
my aluminum extrusion doesn’t match!
I am currently building my frame of the Ratrig v3.1 500mm and the aluminum matches up on one side but not the other. I am sure that I used the right lengths of extrusion. I am on step 18. Any fixes?
