Productive day on Mainsail! ๐ŸŽ‰ Created a bunch of PRs today - some long-overdue bugfixes and a few smaller features, ready for the crew to review.

Now I need to draw the line to plan the next release.

#Mainsail #Klipper #OpenSource #productivity #coding

After swapping my Klippered Ender 3 Pro's Creality mcu to an SKR Pico, I missed it's display and beeper. I attached the display to Klipper using pi GPIO pins via a second "host mcu" within Klipper. I spent way too long configuring the Pi to use SPI, only to have Klipper-Mcu then complain it couldn't access the pins. Turns out Klipper does all of the SPI magic internally. SPI can be left disabled on the Pi, and it will "just work." Huzzah, it all works again! #3dp #3DPrinting #klipper
Has someone out there ever tried to get a #BambuLab Printer, remove the proprietary mainboard and put in a new board and a #rasperrypi with #klipper on it? Would surely be interesting to see the results...

๐ŸŽ Mainsail v2.16.1 is here!

Back to #3dprinting

I converted from a run of the mill #bltouch to a #bdsensor and so far it's awesome, but it's for a few quirks I'm nailing down.

Height is crucial to good operation but it's also low enough that if you get it wrong you're smacking the print with the sensor or it's not working.

Building bed meshes in seconds is amazing, but I also found that moving the price up after meshing can cause a failure.

Marlin works but particularly while tinkering is a lot of back and forth, the big gotcha that #Marlin has against it. Compiling.

Realistically; #Klipper would be my best bet but every time I go down that route I get burned.

Just published the monthly Mainsail Patreon update for our supporters! ๐ŸŽ‰

This one covers two months and is a bit longer than usual โ€“ v2.15.0 & v2.16.0 releases, multi-color updates, and what's coming next.

Snapmaker U1

The Snapmaker U1 is a very interesting tool-changer 3D printer with four independent nozzles that I would love to get my hands on, but that has some issues that make me hesitant to(...)

@kims @MamaLake I have successfully wrangled the manufacturer-provided firmwares off my #Sovol SV08 (#3DPrinting) and replaced the code on all three of its microcontrollers with mainline #Klipper and the Katapult bootloader.

I verified itโ€™s a proper upgrade to the printerโ€™s stock setup by proceeding to print a picture-perfect, gapless, 350x350mm first layer.

The first critical step in upgrading this bargain basement #Voron to my multi-toolhead #INDX dream machine is well underway! ๐Ÿคฉ

Now I can keep up to date with the coolest new 3D printing software developments! Eddy current bed probing! Adaptive bed meshing! Hacks ahoy!

Lol, "calibrate_start_x" can't be zero. 0.1 is okay though.

That's definitely a bug, 0 is a valid X coordinate.
