nitrogen_widget:
pressure advance and input shaping achieved.
now to see how my prints come out.
input shaping was a process.
had some issues installing numpy due to python versions on armbian but got it sorted out.

after i calibrated the X i did spit out a part for the input shaper bed mount faster than normal and it looked good.

nitrogen_widget:
not too bad. .16 layer height. 120mm/s base print speed with 60mms for outer perimeter.
11 hour print.
needs some cleanup but i can only see the layer lines with a hi res photo or my +250 readers so anyone a bars width away will think it look cool staring at them.

i'm making this into a tap handle for a stranger things themed sour we are making for a beer show.
i'm very happy with how this little printer is working and never suspected input shaping would of made such a significant difference in print quality and i was being dumb not thinking it was worth it so thanks guys for convincing me.

now onto my lk5 pro.
i have the config file created for the new board and the firmware installed.
new hotend cooler printed up and direct drive plate in hand plus a bi-metal heat break for stock hot end.
but that's after i get the board plugged in and everything moves.

Looks good to me! Nice use of the printer to make a custom tap handle. Sounds like the infill is pretty dense from the time it took.

i went 20% plus 6 walls. i didn't want anything cracking when i put the threaded insert into it for the tap or the base cracking from pulling on it.
in the past i made custom tap handles with less infill and there was too much flexing.

nitrogen_widget:
ok. the longer lk5pro is now almost ready. btt pico is installed along with external mosfet for the bed heater. probably didn't need it but i saw some posts about how bigger beds can get close to the max power for these because they were meant for smaller printers.

took a bit of configuring to get the moters and steppers moving the right direction and being in the proper state.
i had some issues with the heaters.
they refused to turn on.
i don't know why.
i held a lighter to the heat block and saw it read temp correctly.

i think i might of rebooted the klipper host and the btt pico and it just started working.
but it was weird.

printing up a bltouch adaptor now so i can get that working. once i've printed a few test prints i'll swap to direct drive and bi-metal heat break.
then the pressure advance and input shaping.
