Hello,

I bought a used EnderXY kit with triple Z for my Ender 3 and chose a BTT Manta M8p v2 with a CB2 to control it.
This is my first time using Klipper and with lots of reading and learning I almost have it working.

The remaining issue I have not been able to solve is in regards to Z-Tilt functionality. When commanded to it probes all three points, but then when I try to print it appears to ignore that information and tries to print on an unlevel bed.

Do any of you have any good resources for troubleshooting this?

Just kidding... Moose danger is highly over-rated and a lot is said about them that is not accurate. One "fact" in particular is that they are more dangerous than bears, but that's not really true.

In Alaska, where we have lots of both, bears kill more people than moose despite the fact that moose encounters are much more frequent than bear encounters.

I think moose are pretty cool and I hope everyone who wants to see them gets to do so, but moose are wild animals and should be treated with caution!

If you want to learn about moose beyond Monty Python quotes misinterpreted statistics, the Alaska Department of Fish and game has this resource available that can help you understand a bit about moose and can help you have a safe and enjoyable interaction:

Some more great reporting from James Brooks that I think is a must read at this point.

You can see Asian LNG prices here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PNGASJPUSDM (1 Mcf equals 1.038 MMBtu).

In the AKLNG portion of this newsletter it is pointed out that Glenfarne still has not committed to building an export facility despite planning to do so in 2025.

If AKLNG natural gas costs, are higher than other sources there will be no export market, and I think that is what Glenfarne is trying to determine.

If they do not build the export facility, the pipeline will be oversized for local need and will result in gas costs that Glenfarne says would "competitive" with imported gas.

They want to huge tax breaks from state to subsidize the construction, but with no guarantee from them. We could end up with expensive gas and no connection to Fairbanks!

I am converting my Ender 3 to a CoreXY setup with a EnderXY kit with Triple Z.

I intend to switch from Marlin to KIipper and am reviewing my options for a control board.

I think I want either a Octopus Pro with separate Pi, or a Manta M8P with an onboard pi module (CB1 or2?).

Does anyone have any opinion or advice on this?
