printer cfg issues

Heyo, last night my printer got a little creative (see image below) so I figured it'd be a good idea finally set up spaghetti detective so: 1. I updated all the printer firmware 2. installed obico, which took a little while cause I'm not a linux wizard. After this however I seem to be missing my printer.cfg in home/pi/printer_data I did eventually find it in home/pi/klipper_config so I've at the very least got a backup now SweatierGuy but if I move that file into printer data I get an error so I'm guessing there's supposed to be a generic one there and the one with all my tweaks goes in printer data? At the very least I'm still operational, I just can't actually access the 'active' cfg to make changes from the machine tab. And it'd be nice to tweak some webcam settings at some point. Sorry if this is a common issue I did some keyword searches bud didn't find much.

the config folder situation has changeed recently i guess the spaghetti code thingy jsut isnt up to date with its install scripts having the same issue with my own plugins can you share a link to the repo? should be an easy fix

sorry, which repo did you mean? the obico git for the install?
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2y ago
yes

I sort of get the impression that obico installs itself and you just point it towards some moonraker configuration file, but here you go: https://github.com/TheSpaghettiDetective/moonraker-obico.git

i see the install script is up to date and respects the new config folder situation and i also see that youre printer.cfg itself isnt found do you use RatOS?
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire2y ago
yes
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2y ago
this is a bit strange
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire2y ago
my predicament is an updating the firmware problem I think not spaghetti related
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2y ago
i would do start with a fresh RatOS image and jsut install ratos, without any extras if this works then install the new plugin
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire2y ago
new plugin being obico?
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2y ago
yes, first ratos, make your printer work first after that, install obico i am here in case you need additional help
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire2y ago
yup, ahh, thats a bit annoying, specially because it is working, but such is life
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2y ago
what do you mean with it is working? if everything works why are we here 😆

absent-sapphire2y ago
the printer.cfg in klipper_config is being used, but it's not accessable from the machine tab
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2y ago
this isnt normal
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire2y ago
no
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2y ago
i really would reisntall ratos, making it work and then do the other thing
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire2y ago
yeah I'll get on it
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2y ago
a tip, if you have a working ratos installtion backup the printer.cfg file this makes it easer and faster in case you need to reflash
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire2y ago
what should I download to make it go faster ah just the cfg, already done that any way to grab my macros or dashboard layout?
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2y ago
yes, mainsail has a integrated backup and restore function
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire2y ago
ok, I'll look into that
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2y ago
its somewhere in the settings page
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire2y ago
Sorry for so many questions, its been a while, I'm going to want to grab the sd card and reinstall ratos onm windows yes?
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2y ago
yes, reflash the SD card with ratos
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire2y ago

I assume rpi64 is good
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2y ago
64Bit only if you have a raspberry PI 4 with more than 4gb ram if not use 32 bit
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire2y ago
yep, just found that, my brain makes it hard for me to parse doucmentation pages sometime I'll double check that I do

On RatOS v1, ~/klipper_config is symlinked into ~/printer_data/config If you want "proper" directories, use RatOS v2
miklschmidt
miklschmidt2y ago
if things aren't visible in the machine tab, that means you didn't update for months, so you gotta run: https://os.ratrig.com/blog/moonraker-config-changes#missing-files-after-update
Moonraker is now safe to update | RatOS
Major moonraker config and file changes

But i see you're reinstalling with 2.0 so you can ignore that 🙂

absent-sapphire2y ago
yeah, I'm halfway done now, but good to know. Everything looks to be fixed after that. Thanks all

What triggers an unload filament? It seems to be happening right after prime blob, after first layer and frequently thereafter?
miklschmidt
miklschmidt2y ago
Check that you didn't insert a filament change in your slicer Only UNLOAD_FILAMENT and M600 (color change) trigger an unload.
Tracy7734
Tracy77342y ago
@miklschmidt that’s what I thought. I’ve replaced nozzle, hot end, disabled filament sensor, disabled Obico. I’ve just changed filament too,
miklschmidt
miklschmidt2y ago
Well, you either made a change that makes it happen (filament sensor was a good bet) or it comes from your slicer. 🤷‍♂️
Tracy7734
Tracy77342y ago
@miklschmidt nothing in the slicer.
miklschmidt
miklschmidt2y ago
Check the .gcode it outputs Just noticed you hijacked another thread @tracyb7734 please create separate thread for your issues.
Tracy7734
Tracy77342y ago
@miklschmidt I’m sorry. So I need to create a thread for any question I have?
miklschmidt
miklschmidt2y ago
Any issue, yes. If it's just general "how do i do this", please use #klipper.
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2y ago
do you have a filament sensor installed? false triggers can cause automatic unloads
Tracy7734
Tracy77342y ago
@Helge Keck Yes. I just commented all lines out. Will reboot and try again.
