Added 2025-03-02 02:06:19 +0000 UTCToday has been a DAY. I was supposed to finish the patreon tutorial today but instead I spent all day fixing my 3D printer after it had a catastrophic failure while printing a badge for Zion. Since Zion's suit needs to be sent out asap I had to prioritize the printer.
What should have been a simple fix of replacing the hotend turned into an all day afar when klipper gave me error after error. I tried swapping the print head assembly with a brand new one I had bought as a backup but as luck would have it, its defective. OTL
After hourd of troubleshooting I couldn't figure out what was causing the issue, as visiually everything looked fine. I started cross-comparing my broken print head with the new one and realized that the little brace that holds the ribbon wires was bent causing it to push up against some things it really shouldn't be touching. Thankfully the original one I had was in good shape so I swapped it out and it worked! So after HOURS of troubleshooting the new "defective" print assemble it turns out it was just a bent brace. 🤦♂️
*Sigh* At least I have the printer up and running. I still need to do some test prints but the biggest hurdle is over. So if nothing else stands in my way I'll be able to finish up that patreon tutorial
tomorrow. 🙏
