Mainsail Update — April 2026 is up!

This month: ESLint refactor finally wrapped up, Crowsnest v5 code review done (release incoming!), MainsailOS Trixie waiting in the wings, and some thoughts on AI-slop PRs and the state of the npm ecosystem.

Direct Pressure Advance Measurement For Fast Calibration

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://hackaday.com/2026/03/24/direct-pressure-advance-measurement-for-fast-calibration/

FrankenWinder printed its first Benchy at @leigh_hackspace.

Donated Artillery Sidewinder X1 from 3DQF, Hemera tool head from one of our members, E3D Volcano hotend, BLTouch, and Klippered.

A few refinements to go (the current .8mm nozzle is a *bit* brutal, but all we had for the Volcano), but this is now looking serviceable.

Oh, and we have a second machine and another Hemera, so ... building another.

That gives us *three* large(ish) format printers, including the Voron 2.4.

With my new Sovol SV06 “ACE”, I learned the hard way what the Y-belt tension dial does 😄

Too loose → ~20 mm layer shift mid-print.

I used Gates Carbon Drive to tune belt “twang” frequency, then built a stress test suite to validate motion stability:

Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro: два дня, килограмм пластика и иллюзия экономии

«Что же ты всё по Бамбукам загоняешься? Есть и другие хорошие принтеры — и дешевле». Примерно так мне сказали, передавая на тест Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro. Ну, хорошо. Я человек открытый — дайте железо, дайте время, и я выдам честный вердикт. Kobra 2 Pro — бедслингер с заявленным полем 220×220 мм и скоростью до 300 мм/с (маркетинговые, разумеется). На бумаге — конкурент Bambu Lab A1 Mini: стол больше, ценник ниже. Казалось бы, чистая победа Кобры. Спойлер: нет. Но обо всём по порядку.

Exploring the Debian (Bullseye) system inside my new Sovol SV06 ACE 3D printer.

SSH access works and the default account has root privileges.
Looks like a Rockchip RK3308 board running Klipper + Mainsail.

Before printing anything I'm making a full OS backup and inventory of what's installed.

Anyone else poking around inside the SV06 ACE at the system level?
