I am trying to get this printer to print correctly. I have a Sonic Pad and have a DDX extruder. I cannot get the walls to connect. I have tightened the belts and carriage, did the resonance test on the Sonic Pad, did the Flow calibration in Orca, made the wall thickness thinner. All I get is what …

Looks like it could be under extrusion to me. Try calibrating the rotation_distance if you are using klipper (i.e. the sonic pad), or esteps if you are using marlin firmware. Once this is calibrated retry the flow calibrations and you should see a big improvement!

What’s your pressure advance (also known as PA) setting? As @Matthew indicated, it could be under extrusion (ie rotation distance) but it could also be a PA value that’s out of whack.

I have added code to the starting GCode like G92 E415 M 500; Matthew says I should put that in firmware, but frankly, I don’t know how to do that. My question is: doesn’t that code store the esteps in the memory of the motherboard?

Klipper does not recognize many Marlin commands. These may some of them. to calculate rotation distance. https://www.klipper3d.org/Rotation_Distance.html [rotaiondistance] You then have to add this to the config.cfg file in the appropriate area. Klipper does not work like Marlin!

I have measured off 120mm on the filament and heated up the nozzle to extrude temp and extruded 100mm slow. Then I measured what was left and it was 20mm. That tells me the rotation distance is correct, right? What I’m not clear is: Where do I get the printer.cfg file for my printer? I used the …

If what you have is 20mm then your rotation distance is correct. To access the printer.cfg file, you’re going to have to go to the web user interface and click on Configuration - you can access it from there. How did you set up the Sonic Pad in the first place?

All you have to do is select your printer on the Sonic Pad and it flashes for the selected printer. Sorry for being so dumb, but what web user interface? I know it’s clear to you but not me. I know git hub has the printer.cfg for a CR 10S but not the Pro. Then once I have the correct printer.cfg h…

printer.cfg is a text file in Klipper that is used to configure the printer and set various parameters for it. Along with using the touch screen, you can (should, really) connect the Sonic Pad to the internet using your home network and access it remotely using the web ui which provides you more fe…

In order to access the user interface you will need to headover to make sure you are connected to the same network as the sonic pad. Then you can use the IP address of the sonic pad and connect to it using google, or even easier just head over to http://fluiddpi.local The sonic pad runs klipperscre…
