Ok here is the issue, yesterday I updated the firmware on the printer and the screen.

Now it's locked in this error loop.

Does anyone have an idea how to correct it besides flattening it to factory stock.

Any help is good help.

Someone plugged a #NintendoSwitch into a 3D printer.

90-min print → 8 mins.

The trick isn't the Switch. It's what's running on it.

I was reflecting on 3D printer motion algorithms and I remembered this image from a Trinamic video. Klipper uses trapezoidal, RRF & Marlin can do S-Curve and the new Prunt firmware can be even smoother! Taking a step back, it seems that we are prioritizing the wrong development by working on filters like input shaping or pressure advance. What do you thing?

Using a Nintendo Switch to Speed Up a 3D Printer

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://hackaday.com/2026/05/15/using-a-nintendo-switch-to-speed-up-a-3d-printer/

I was having tolerance issues with the 0.6mm nozzle, so rather than continue trying to calibrate that right now, I decided to go back to a regular 0.4mm nozzle.

Except after switching it, I figured I'd better redo the Z probing.

Only I didn't want to have to do this all the time when changing nozzles, so I went to work on getting the z-probe-and-adjust-on-every-print functionality that I should be able to use now that I have a Voron-PZ.

Except it seemed my #Klipper version didn't have the printer.probe.last_probe_position object. Okay, fair, my version was years old.

So, I took the plunge and upgraded. And then had no controller boards functional due to version conflicts. Le sigh.

So then I had to figure out how to build and reflash the firmware on those again. Thankfully that wasn't too bad, since I'd kept the .config for each of them. I still don't know why I couldn't remote flash the sd card on the skr 1.3, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. And why didn't OneDrive sync the firmware.bin across to where I had my sd card adapter? Another mystery I'm not going to spend more time on.

With that done, back to updating my start_print macro and get the probing in there. After a little bit of futzing, I kicked off a pressure advance calibration print and everything worked!

After fully adjusting my pressure advance setting for the nozzle, I moved on to the next calibration print. And the z-probing failed mysteriously. Expecting to hit the bed at several mm above it, communication timeouts, and I don't know everything I've seen by now. 🤯

Debugging that I got reminded that the {} expansions get done at the /start/ of the macro, not at the point where it's written 🤦‍♀️ So the z offset used a value prior to what the PROBE command generated. Ugh. Worked around that with another level of indirection (I think. At least the info messages appeared at expected points). Probing still failed with similar height dependencies however. Whyyyyy?

I don't understand why this is so hard. Home all axes. Move close to the bed. Run probe. Apply probed z adjustment. But no, seemingly impossible.

Status: have started reading the flipping source code for the PROBE command and chasing that through the various modules 😩

This is what I get for making clever upgrades to my 3D printer....

MainsailOS v3.0.0 is out!

- Debian Trixie (Debian 13) base
- cloud-init: configure hostname, user, WiFi & SSH via the Raspberry Pi Imager on EVERY image, Armbian included
- Crowsnest v5 (Pynest) shipped by default

Major release, so we recommend a fresh flash.

Что нужно знать про 3D-принтеры, если вы провели 30 лет в коме

Решил я тут обновить своего старого пятого «медведя» на что-то более-менее современное и будто в дивный новый мир попал. Клипперы, автоуровни, активный подогрев, выползни, чернопопики, автосмена филамента… А напомните, как мы к этому всему пришли? Я пытался найти на Хабре статью про то, как развивались принтеры от зари 3D-печати до наших дней и с удивлением таковой не обнаружил. Штош, будем исправлять.

🎉 Crowsnest v5 is here!

After ~2 years of development, Mr. Yel released the complete Python rewrite of Crowsnest, with startup time down from 30s to 1s, a new APT repo for precompiled backends, and Spyglass officially joining the crew.
