I’m stupid for not changing this sooner. I knew it would be an issue for me to remember to manually home before every print and I should’ve fixed it earlier, but also, why is the default Sovol config* settings so janky for this machine? Homing is after start_print which I think(?) is the issue here?

Edit to add: I realize Sovol is uploading profiles and orca just includes them, doesn’t tweak them, so it’s obviously not on them to ensure profiles are correct. I changed some wording because it made it seem like I was blaming orca here, that was unintentional.

Looking at Sovol’s default profile here, they run the start_print macro like this:
- clear_pause
- clean-nozzle
- bed mesh calibrate adaptive
- THEN g28 home, not included in the start_print macro

So obviously this seems like an issue that Sovol should fix in their profiles?… there’s a possibility I downloaded an old profile without realizing it, I suppose, but anyway, when the printer moves to specific positions before g28, it’s moving without knowing where it’s at. Which is why Sovol’s screen says to home toolhead before you do anything. It’s running an entire bed mesh probe before knowing where exactly it’s at

This is, I believe, fixed by taking G28 from the machine start gcode and moving it above the start_print macro

What species to make next 🤔

Tightened belts, loosened them, turned off jerk in config, and my layer shifts went from destroying my print near the end to shifting on the second layer. I checked screws etc everything seems to be fine. Bed moves well without snags, same with print head. Accel was at 3000 for this pic. Dropped them all to 1500 so we’ll try that I guess. 75 mm/s high speed TPU which I could push to 150 mm/s with my Neptune 3’s

Ordered a high torque replacement for the stepper motor but I feel like there must be something else happening since I literally JUST got this unit and haven’t had a successful print at all. Is it the resonance at low speed that’s causing this issue? I’m puzzled

I have roughly 2000 hours on both and I’d be willing to cut a deal for both bundled together. Both in working order. Located in rapid city SD but will be driving to salt lake Utah at the end of the month so I can bring them that way.

This guy was made for my booth at anthro weekend Utah later this summer. The ears have super strong magnets and are removable. The eyes are also removable, and the tongue too!

Still need to sew the hair in and glue in the brows. I just need to determine the placement & shape for the brows
