History

2024-08-13: started printing parts / accessories for Skådis pegboard. The printer behaves, things work.

2024-04-01: crowsnest - changed camera resolution to 1280x720. Now I get 4 - 5 fps in fluidd, and 5 - 6 fps in mainsail.

2024-04-01: mainsail - webcam - getting the webcam to work was as simple as changing from "Adaptive MJPG streamer" to "MJPG Streamer" in Settings, Webcams.

2024-03-29: camera mount - today the camera got knocked off by the bed. It seems that the "pins" holding the mount to the lower slot on the printer has bent outwards from the pressure. The result is that the mounting is loose. I need to fix this.

2024-03-28: extruder - rotation_distance - I measured and calibrated rotation distance using the Easy E-Steps & Rotation Distance Measurement Tool + Instructions from printables. A bit back and forth, but in the end I ended up changing it from 

rotation_distance: 4.59

to

rotation_distance: 4.58

2024-03-27: crowsnest - camera with 1280x960 for camera, fluidd reports 01 - 02 fps, so not to good.

2024-03-26: armbian - motd config

mks@mkspi:~$ more /etc/default/armbian-motd

2024-03-26: camera - I updated ~/printer_data/config/crowsnest.conf and changed camera settings from

resolution: 640x480                     # widthxheight format
max_fps: 15                             # If Hardware Supports this it will be forced, otherwise ignored/coerced.

to

resolution: 1280x960                    # see if this works
max_fps: 30

and restarted crowsnest. I have to test while printing to see if it is better or worse now.

2024-03-26: camera - the crowsnest log file (~/printer_data/logs/crowsnest.log) shows this about my camera

2024-03-17: camera - printed Logitech C270 adapter for SV07 webcam mount and mounted the camera. Time will tell if having a front mounted camera is a good thing or not.

2024-03-14: camera - now I only have to print a bracket to mount the camera properly.

2024-03-14: I plugged the web camera into a free usb port on the controller. It shows up in lsusb output

mks@mkspi:~$ lsusb -d 046d:0825
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc. Webcam C270

and there are some video devices

mks@mkspi:~$ ls -l /dev/video*

crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 5 Mar 14 20:34 /dev/video5

and after I rebooted the controller (I had to do it from the KlipperScreen, couldn't figure out how to do it from mainsail or fluidd interface) the camera shows up in fluidd. For some reason, it shows 0 (zero) fps in mainsail interface.

2024-03-14: I got a pick-up message and fetched the package with the web camera from pickup point Extra Trondheimsveien on my way home from work.

2024-03-10: I ordered a Logitech C270 web camera to use as a camera for the printer for NOK 228.- plus NOK 79.- in shipping. NOK 308.- in total.

2024-03-03: I printed SOVOL SV07 PLUS Extruder Cable Bracket at 0.2 mm layer height and mounted it. The extruder cable now doesn't drag along the bed anymore. If the X axis is near the top of the printer, the cable and bracket might come into conflict with the top beam of the frame. We shall see.

2024-03-03: Slicers - a blog entry about OrcaSlicer,

2024-03-02: PrusaSlicer - managed to get a working profile for the SV07 Plus by configuring it from scratch and adding this Start G-code

M190 S{first_layer_bed_temperature[0]} ; Setting bed temperature
M109 S{first_layer_temperature[0]} ; Setting hot-end temperature
START_PRINT ; Running macro from klipper

but it oozes a bit, I should move the hotend to a drip zone first. end G-code is just

END_PRINT

2024-03-02: and the firmware version of the controller (the one you see if you go config, system on the touch screen) is

mks@mkspi:~$ cat ~/.DebVersion
 Version: 1.0.8-07P

that's one less mystery.

2024-03-02: the controller (mkspi) is running
