Stepper Driver Port broken how to chang the Slot on Octopus F446

Hi, I just finished again a RatRig 400 but my Motors never run well . After a lot tries and different steppers i get all running until one Motor , after trying switching Motors / drivers I tired the board also in an Running RatRig 300 with the same issue . So all looks like the Stepper driver Port is broken . Next days will Test the board from the 300 in the 400 but so long i want to try to change the slot of the stepper Driver . Does anyone tell me how to do it ?...

Info on Connecting two Controller Fans, octopus 1.1

Im having some problems figuring out how to connect two additional controller fans to my octopus. My part fan and extruder fan are connecter per the ratrig instructions. I am assuming I can use the next two connections but can't seem to get them to work with the config overides. Do I need to mod the firmware?

Printer fails to probe a bed mesh when starting a print

Hey, I have a problem with my V-Minion, whenever it goes to do a bed mesh, it manages to probe some points, but suddenly plunges the nozzle into the bed (thank you for that spider coupling). The Mainsail console spits out this: 10:11 AM G91 G1 Z+25 F1500...

Z Offset

Any ideas on what could be up with my z offset? It's been fine for months but today before a print the nozzle gouged through PEI sheet. When I checked Z-Offset in printer config it read 0. Performing a probe_calibrate and saving will not update the offset in printer config and it stays at 0.

Vibration on Left XY-Motor and Belt

Hello, my RatRig V-Core 3.0 makes noise as soon as the left xy-motor is running and I drive a little over 200mm/s fast. The GT2 belt vibrates strongly. The print quality suffers massively in these situations. I have already checked the belt travel several times. ...

Vertical ridges on circular prints and vibration.

Hi All, I upgraded my print head assembly to the new EVA 3.0 for my Vcore 3.1-400 and updated my extruder to a Orbiter 2.0. Now when I print I get vertical ridges in my circular prints. I've adjusted my belt tension, verified the carriage is not racking, eliminated the slicer by reprinting an existing sliced file that was printed before the upgrade. Does anyone have a suggestion of what to look at next?...

Wobbly Z ?

Hello, I noticed this pattern on my prints. Tried to realign the rod, seems it get a bit better, but still has a noticeable pattern. I tried to move x carriage, and it seems that there is movement in z rail. Can faulty z rail/bearing cause this?

V-MiniON - Layer Shift on Y axis only

My beefed-up V-MiniON exhibits random layer shifting in Y axis only, and on certain models. I can print different models without a hitch, but on specific models it starts having layer shifting. It's a standard v-MiniON on SKR 3, with a 2504 motor on Y axis (with appropriate config change for it). No input shaper measured on Y yet (I didn't find time to move the ADXL and test it)....

Super pinda probe has started to fail?

When i home my machine it has started crashing the bed into the nozzle. After resetting it then works fine? Nothing changed on my machine other than regularly updating whatever needs updating. It has also worked fine for many months. Any help greatly appreciated....

Is my bed mesh enabled?

I am wondering if I somehow disabled the bed mesh on my 3.1 500mm printer. Just seems like I am getting uneven layer adhesion and I am not sure if I messed something up in my configuration by accident...does somebody mind taking a look at my printer.cfg?

Hotend fan stopping

As seen on the video my hotend fan turns off for a second or couple sometimes while printing. It already caused some clogs. Why could it be happening?

X & Y Stepper drivers overheating while IDLE (so not yet homed)

I am running a V-Core 3 with RATOS2.0 on M8P with CM4 and 2209 (and EBB36) with latest Klipper and updated system. While yesterday the printer was functional, I powered down and this morning I restarted the printer. Now I noticed a clicking sound which I now believe was the steppers resetting due to overheating. I narrowed it down to the X & Y steppers overheating. Stuff I have seen but can not explain: -I checked that cables and the appear ok. -If I disconnect both cables (Left and Right) from the steppers and reboot, the stepper of the left motor immediately overheats (I have a thermistor on the heatsink) and it goes to 80degr C so I switch off the printer. -I take out the Left motor stepper (as I thought it might be defect). Right Stepper still in the board. When I connect the Right Motor to the Right stepper, The Motor actually Locks (no movement). When disconnecting the motor hire, the full gantry moves as normal....

I had printed off 3 or 4 other prints earlier in the day, so it was working just fine...

v-minion rattling noise

I just realize watching other people’s videos that my v-minion makes an awful amount of noise, especially a rattling one when homing or mesh calibrating. This is a stock full kit, it’s greased with NLGI-2 lithium grease, there seems not to be any loose screws on the eva (pressed them to test), prints are good so it seems well calibrated… I didn’t use any alignment jig but rails seem to be decently aligned. Oh and I’ve enabled the performance steppers settings. What is going on?...

Mainsail to Moonraker Connection

I have a Mainsail to Moonraker connection issue while trying to install the firmware on my new V-minion. Following the RatOS configuration documentation, I was successful in installing RatOS v2.0.0 onto my pi3B+ and ran the RatOS configurator. I successfully started step 2 of the configurator which flashes the control board. My printer uses the SKR 2 (429) board. So I selected that option for the configurator to create the binary file to flash the control board. After installing the microSD card into the controlboard I powered everything up and logged into ratos.local which brought up Mainsail. Everything seems to be working per the instructions at this point until I try to update RatOS using Update Manager in Mainsail. I click on the update button and it starts the update process and then Mainsail tries to connect to Moonraker whereby I get a connection failed error "Cannot connect to Moonraker (ratos.local)". The trouble shooting section of the RatOS documentation said to fix this problem by adding your IP range in CIDR notation to the [authorization] section in "~/klipper_config/moonraker.conf" on the pi as follows: ssh ratos.local nano ~/klipper_config/moonraker.conf sudo systemctl restart moonraker...
