I'm using probe, z stop, and neopix, but I didn't realize you could use the other ones to PWM fans

Apparently there is a bypass, and I can just have it ignore it. I'm gonna print with the bypass and see what happens. It's weird. I mean it worked fine for 2 days and nothing changed but all of the sudden it's like OH SHIT WE GOT PROBLEMSSSSSS.

you can also feed the rpi power from GPIO pins if you have another method of getting clean 5v power
This doesn't work good tho unless it is a Pi0. I powered a Pi4 with 5V from PC PSU and it still threw errors. Even crimped 20G wires for it and it didn't help. Just don't think those dupont connectors and carry enough current.

mine worked fine for like 500 hours and then was throwing voltage (and temp) errors, so I swapped to a usbC cable
dupont connectors fucking suck so I never thought too hard about it I got one of these, it's just a usb C-> bare wire that's thick enough to crimp easily, so much nicer
Something cheaper than that, and it was a bad batch, supposedly.
They used chineseum sleeve bearing fans early on, but the replacements they’re sending out, new ones they sell, and new machines are using bb fans.

Time to refurb. old v new.
4-5 years of heavy use.

I have zero clue if this is worth a shit, but it looks like it has some decent upgrades, the fit and finish look pretty decent imo Never heard of the company, but the price is pretty dang low

Got a cable chain installed. Just inching my way closer to the x1c. Might have been cheaper just to buy it in the first place

it's not gonna solve all the problems with the 'bondtech dual gear extruder' but it's definitely a nice refinement
He ditched the 2nd gear and is just using an idler. And The HevORT is still a high speed printer so I assume the extruder still handles it just fine.

Yeah a bunch of people are experimenting with this right now, solves another minor artifact
i still havent attempted printing Lucky13 figures -- i feel like it'd be useful for a lot of stuffi never post here. but here's some stuff i've printed recently

Been playing with Shapr3d on my partners iPad Pro all evening, it’s pretty fun.
Still just leaving what all the tools do

I have tried two different slicers. releveling the build plate. Rotating the models 45 degrees. Changing supports from light, medium and heavy. Reducing the amount I'm printing, going down to four models. This time, one model in the front right corner printed (no pic) and none else did. I'm returning it - I may not be doing something right, but i'm pretty sure at this point I'm not doing much wrong. I've had a resin printer before.
Like 99% of MSLA printers are closed source using ChiTu boards/FW. Pretty sure that includes Creality machines.
EDIT: Only the Halot lineup for Creality doesn't use ChiTu.
