  • Yeah, makes sense based on where the sensor is, my heater didn’t have a thermocouple on it so I drilled a hole for a thermistor midplate, it’s super slow to respond is the downside but in theory it should be accurate enough.

    I don’t have experience with the bambu, in theory everything will experience thermal expansion but for the voron setup, the bimetallic construction is some of the issue, they have different thermal expansion properties so it can cause deflections. Part quality will vary wildly depending on sourcing too, vorons are very diy and open as the draw, but there’s just so much variability from sourcing, mods, assembly etc.



  • It looked like you have a textured sheet? 0.2 mm variation over the entire built area isn’t huge, might be exaggerating it.

    How much of a heat soak? If you’re going to the edge, let that sit for at least an hour, preferably more, look at Ellis’ page on thermal expansion, frame will absolutely expand. I use backers on my 2.4, gantry is giant bimetallic strip, backers do seem to help with that. Klipper does have the ability to correct for this as well, in that link. I do also have a kinematic bed mount (it’s coupled loosely to the frame, basically gives the bed room to expand), which again does seem to help, but I’d personally say heat soak is the first thing to do to achieve consistency.

    And to echo others, degrease your bed with dish soap & water (unless your surface can be damaged, Buildtak that’s a no, don’t of that for example). If that’s a textured sheet, may need to give a bit more of a squish, but get it good and clean first. Ellis has some solid 1st layer calibration and troubleshooting guides to go through. For pei, personally I’ve found I needed to rough up the surface a bit with a brass brush, I don’t love pei on my voron, usually use buildtak but have had really good results with the fire resistant version of garolite.

    Edit: read up on your probe, eddy current based? Sounds really interesting, my first point is probably moot, though possible you could be picking up the texture or if you have strong magnets it could affect it (my bed has an array of strong round magnets, seen others that are just a magnetic sheet), the do call that out in their FAQ.



  • I was looking through, generally custom macros are in the config folder, unsure if they’ve implemented it differently, here’s the Raise3D repo I found earlier, klipper has some code in c for the microcontroller stuff AFAIK with klippy in python, I’ve not personally dove into the code, just config and macro stuff largely.

    Actually digging through a bit, there’s some gcodes in /klippy/gcode.py in the above repo I don’t see in the Mainline Klipper equivalent, like M9999, it might be a start, klippy lives on the host machine.



  • Yeah, didn’t think it was an image, just images in gcode are encoded.

    I did find their github with a klipper config, but yeah, unsurprisingly it’s not there. You could see if it has documentation through the klipper console? I’m betting it’s not going to be in your klipper config unfortunately. Definitely leaning toward it being the portion that has the firmware validate the key and then set things up.



  • Prefacing this, I have no idea, can’t find any information either, I’m just speculating for what it’s worth.
    .What’s kinda interesting is someone posted an identical one to the prusa forums like 2 years ago, no responses unfortunately.

    I’m willing to guess it’s data, I’d wondered if it was unique per user but if you both have encountered it… don’t think that’s the case. I’m going to assume it’s sending a blob, vaguely reminds me of image thumbnails in gcode, but those are clear that’s what they are, maybe it’s some executable code that changes printer parameters or how the subsequent gcode is processed by the controller to support the HyperFFF mode.

    Don’t love it personally, but I’m willing to assume they’re doing this way to obfuscate what’s happening because its proprietary rather than anything malicious. I don’t really have the tools or knowledge to really try to examine it further however, hopefully someone with that skillset is interested enough.

    Edit: is this a cloud first printer? Also totally possible it’s just telling the printer to download something remotely to support that HyperFFF mode, again, can’t really tell, could be worth seeing what’s happening network wise.


  • Canada’s National Observer asked the NDP for comment on the situation and later that day posed the question to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh in a virtual press conference on April 22.

    Singh did not directly respond to Canada’s National Observer’s question, nor its follow-up question about the Green Party’s complaint.

    Instead he said many strategic voting websites regularly promote the Liberal Party and that “if you want to stop Conservatives, vote New Democrat. If you also want someone that’s going to … stop liberals like Mark Carney from cutting the things that you need, vote New Democrat.”

    An hour later, an NDP spokesperson contacted Canada’s National Observer but did not offer a statement. Instead, they sent information “on background” — indicating it shouldn’t be attributed to the NDP — that pointed out the federal Green Party was sanctioned by Elections Canada in 2016, and said “that website isn’t ours.”

    Gotta say I’m unhappy that I’m disappointed in the Federal NDP again, the whataboutism around the green party being sanctioned almost a decade ago is maybe tangentially relevant, but that feels they’re more trying to cast doubt on the green’s poll. Your candidate linked to the website, it doesn’t matter if it’s yours, its part of your party’s official communication. I don’t love that Singh (or any politician for that matter but I align closest historically with the NDP so I’ll be critical) seemingly didn’t address the questions during the press conference either.

    There’s something about the current NDP priorities I don’t love, while I totally acknowledge their work on pharmacare, ban on scab labour and dental (and understand why they tore up the supply & confidence agreement over back to work), I started being disappointed back when they held back 100% of campaign rebates, I’ve personally noticed less and less riding level activity from then as well. I don’t love that they’re supporting S-210, I know a bunch of people who started listening to the NDP specifically because they were pretty adamant in their support for privacy. It’s a lot of small things but yeah, they add up.





  • That’s pretty much how I’d expect it to go yeah, every electrician I’ve worked with has been super particular about wiring. Even having done my own in-field bodges on wire looms for equipment (just splicing a wire because I didn’t have an available spare or time to redo the harness) it doesn’t stick out, especially after all the cable wrap or zip ties.



  • Yeah, I’ve never had

    Tap for spoiler

    The wrench spawn, or repellant for that matter, which I don’t know if that’s crafted or from something like the trading post

    Definitely up there for the most notes I’ve taken playing a game for a while, some of them aren’t immediately obvious though their usefulness

    Tap for spoiler

    I’m glad I started tracking the name of each angel for example.

    Finally got

    Tap for spoiler

    The bookstore to spawn again, smashed something in a certain room to get money and bought the remainder out

    The back story as I said is probably the thing that kept me going, not 100% there but I needed to know if my own theories were correct.

    Edit, also

    I kinda wish I hadn’t gone funeral parlour as my parlour upgrade
