I told them to think about it like buying a Camry or building a hotrod or kit car. That for some folks it's about the building.

    Awesome Job. I had that same extremely slow response problem with my 5+ - Mercury 1.1 conversion with a BTT SKR 1.4 turbo and Pi4. On occasion I got a low voltage warning and also a throttling warning. It seemed to be a problem with this Pi4 that I bought new. I tried everything to fix it. I switched it out with the Pi4 on my Ender 6. The problem followed the Pi to my 6. I tried a new class 10 MicroSd card. Fresh install of rasbian-lite / Mainsail. Multiple power adaptors. Powering it through the USB-C. I even bought the Meanwell RS25-5 110vac to 5vdc power supply just like yours. I this time tried powering through the GPIO pins. Same problem. I tested the output and it was exactly 5.0 volts. I found a thread on reddit where someone was having the same problem. The only thing that fixed it for them was to increase the supplied voltage to 5.7 volts. The Pi4 is rated for up to 5.5 volts so this person was pushing it a bit. Supposedly 5.5 volts did not cure the problem but 5.7 did. I turned my voltage on my Meanwell RS25-5 to 5.6 volts and it runs perfect now. Nice and snappy like my other Pi4. I'm not sure why this one seems to need a little more voltage but I figured I had nothing to lose as it just wasn't any fun when it was taking forever to respond to any input. I agree on the EVA 2.4 not being the most appealing tool head. I found the EVA 3.0 to be quite a bit more eye pleasing. There's a special version of the EVA 3.0 customised for the Mercury 1. jon-harper.github.io/E34M1/ Any chance you will be sharing any of your designed parts? I'm mostly interested in the Z chain setup assuming it would work with the stock 5 plus bed. Thank You for all your content and help.

    I have an Ender 5 Pro with a Microswiss Direct Drive/All metal hotend, but haven't used for a couple of years. I dusted it off, added a Sonicpad and had a horrible time even getting it to extrude right. Got mad and bought an X1 Carbon. But I don't want to throw the Ender 5 Pro out. This is inspiring me to build it up as a Mercury One.1, especially now I have a reliable printer to print the parts for it!

    Single Tool Head 3D Printers with MMU capability are not just handy for Multicolored 3D Prints but are also a boon when it comes to 3D printing parts that require Supports as they allow you to print the _Support Interface Layer_ ( the last 1-2 Layers between the Supports and the actual Part ) with a compatible but different secondary Material that will still _stick_ to primary Material used for both the Supports *_AND_* the actual Print but will not _bond_ to it even when used without the usual 1 layer clearance Gap thus resulting in decently smooth finishes on the Underside and by _only_ printing the SIL with a different material you'll omit the need of constant and very time intensive material Swaps ( not a concern for an IDEX but that's a different story ) until you reach the layer where you actually need it.

    As the other commenter pointed out, it can be very handy for support material. Another use would be to have text in a contrasting color. I plan to print out some trays soon and I would like to label them so I know what is in each one. Without multiple colors, the text would be nearly impossible to read. I could use some nail polish or paint on the raised text but the second material will not wear off over time.

    FYI, the SKR 3 EZ has an onboard IC that supplies 5V at a high enough current to power a raspberry pi. Just tap into any free 5V pin on the board (like on the EXP ports, or WiFi adapter, detection ports, etc) and your pi will be powered automatically once you turn it on. No need for a separate PSU! I’m doing that on my build and it works perfectly.

    Grate wiring, can't imagine how long it took to make it look so nice! I had similar CAN issues and just switching over canboot solved this problem instantly, also klipper build version have to be the same for both motherboard and toolhead boar, over all I agree that documentation for CAN could be better. For response time have you tried running UART instead on USB between RPI and BTT, I see you have screen connected via GPIO pins and per expirinace I know it might be occupying the UART pins but if not Id try that, if not you can also try different cable let say if you use USB2 try USB3 and opposite with correlated ports. Good luck with that build hope to see finished version of it as it's looks amazing.

    Trinamic drivers shouldn't have trouble with cooling in their normal lay down StepStick configuration. This is because the IC die is bonded to a thermal pad at the bottom of the IC enclosure, and then soldered and via stitched to the "back" side of the PCB, so that's copper and tin channels, which is the top side, where the heatsink is attached, so thermal impedance of the heatsink connection is fairly low. On the top side of the IC, bottom side of the StepStick board, the IC is covered with an enclosure made of black epoxy which doesn't allow much cooling, very high thermal impedance. A large heatsink doesn't exactly go to waste. I know it looks weird and inefficient heatsinking the IC like that through the opposite side of glass fibre plastic PCB, but it is really an engineered in solution and performs heaps better than it looks. Indeed the intended use is worse, with cooling just into some large PCB planes. Still, i prefer to have some airflow through underneath the drivers, just a little bit. Even just convection airflow. I'm not too picky about it.

I showed it on my Revo CR review. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pomTl8ydmNjRdcY.htmlsi=iEpeMtj0ntf3Vi8N I doubt I’ll have a chance to do a canbus video. It’s a complicated topic to explain in a non-dry manner, and videos like that result in me becoming tech support for the entire audience. Which just doesn’t work out well. Sorry. Quite a few folks have covered it pretty well and companies are working to improve it all the time. Hopefully someone updates it soon to be easier and I can justify that.

    The CAN bus is designed to be highly immune to interference. So the extra shielding is not all that needed. Certainly doesn't hurt. If anything it would help reduce EMI from the printer itself to the outside world.

  • @MandicReally

    CAN Bus is only as immune to interference as the quality of its cable, twist on the cable, and shielding it has. Nothing, to my knowledge, in the signal is particularly designed to handle noise. That's why cables like this exist. The one I used is specifically for moving components running CAN Bus communication. When I worked on cars the CAN harnesses were twisted & shield with grounding along their run. If anything they are MORE susceptible to EMI than any other signal wires on a 3D printer. In the design of CAN systems it is common to NOT run the Power Delivery along side the Signal Leads, as that is the most likely way EMI will be introduced. We cannot avoid that on 3D printers, so we have to mitigate how we can.

Because if that is so, the toolhead can board might be bad, and not the main- or can adapter board. Also, ModBot already did a video on thermistor vs actual bed temps recently, but he focused on that there is a difference. Maybe you can look into methods to work around it?

    Great job Alan, really like the build! One FYI, from a guy with a half-built Mercury 1.1: if you gut the Z-axis and get rid of that entire smooth-rod infrastructure, you can move the bed around in the frame, front-to-back, and get more build area. I replaced mine with a mish-mash of 3d-printed parts, and some modifications of other parts from the Voron world. I'm able to do 360*360 on the X/Y now. I'm still going to end with a dual-Z bed, but I personally don't think the Hydra, or any 3-point system, is worth the hassle, but that's just IMO.

    For the laggy Pi4 - Switch to something like a Sandisk Ultra Fit and change the boot method to USB (Available in the Pi Imager). Micro SD cards are garbage for running an OS, which could be the problem. Second, does that Pi have a heatsink on the chip and a fan to cool it? If not, then I would consider adding those as your build plate is heating up the surrounding air, and may be causing the processor to slow down due to high temps.

    Heat sinks on the chip, memory, & usb controller and a 40mm fan constantly blowing directly on the board. The Pi runs cool even with the bed hot. I run my 2.4 off a SSD via USB, but almost all of my other machines run off SD Cards without issue. Some off this exact same model SD card. 🤷🏻🤷🏻

    Hi there and Merry Xmas... Having a voron was always a dream for me and that why I ended getting an ender 5 plus (thinking once things more stable mod wise I would upgrade it) I have upgraded the hotend to a microswiss and twice got cables out to fix issues (that to let you understand my basic level) Do you think such an upgrade is something of my skills? Are there any complete upgrade kits that would turn my ender like yours ? If so which? Thanks again and keep the good work!

    Isn't the delay the command buffer at the controller, not klipper? At least that's what I think the delay is between octoprint/serial and marlin. Designed my own corexy from scratch. Wish I would have bought a pre built but at least I can say I made my own 3d printer 😂. Not going to lie, I'm jealous 😅

  • @MandicReally

    Octoprint / Marlin works in an entirely different way than Klipper does. Klipper processes the G-Code on the Pi, so the parsing of commands is quicker. The MCU is just a pass through for I/O. So the commands are not processed by the controller but rather by the Pi. This SHOULD eliminate that bottleneck, but it could be an issue in some odd way all the same. I cannot eliminate that issue but it should not be an issue with Klipper.

    If that screen is like the 7" Raspberry Pi touch screen. Inside your /boot/config.txt you need to set the rotation. The hang up is it is not "display_rotate=1", it will be "lcd_rotate=1" as it is coming out of the display flat ribbon and not the HDMI. Additionally for the 7" Raspberry Pi screen, you have to comment out the "dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d" section. Otherwise the touch screen does not work when rotated. Fingers crossed it's just a simple setting issue.

    I've got a pi 4b on my Klipper, and I've noticed that the emergency stop is *instant* but sending any other command to it, like 'cancel_print' will take a while. I've been assuming that it's still running a *ton* of commands that have already been sent, and it has to get through that queue before my command takes effect. This is probably less of a problem on a slower controller because there would be fewer commands in the queue. That's my pet theory, though.

    I had the same issue with portrait orientation. There is a code you can add to the config.txt in the boot folder on the Raspberry Pi that sets up the touch screen orientation as touch matrix is completely separate to the screen orientation. I can't remember the code off the top of my head now, but it was somewhere on the Raspberry Pi official website.
