Build process is 99% complete. I taped on the panels initially using painter's tape so I could print the skirts and a few mods in ABS. Several mods are already in place, including Nevermore, panel clips, picam mount, Rock-'n'-roll, and LEDs. I had a TFT50 screen sitting around from a defunct Ender 5 that I swapped with LDO's TFT43.

Also since last time, I changed from Klicky to KlickyPCB. I've had waaaaay more consistent probing with the PCB kit than I ever had with regular Klickym and I highly recommend the PCB version, Maybe a bit of mea culpa, I couldn't for the life of me get the magnets to go flush into the Klicky mount, so there was some wobble that isn't present in the PCB version.

Last thing to do is to close up the electronics with the bottom panel and I'll be ready for a serial number ๐Ÿ˜

Nice work! I feel like taping on your panels is a rite of passage. Have you been printing much with yours? My only challenge with mine is somewhat inconsistent z offset between prints. Not sure if that's due to the endstop potentially moving, the nozzle not being perfectly clean (I've been manually wiping it with a paper towel), or maybe due to expansion related heat soak...

Thanks!

I have to do a fine babystep here and there, but nothing major. I think it's mostly because I haven't done an actual offset calibration since changing to Klicky PCB, just kind of eyeballed it with a piece of paper.

Do you have the calibrate_z macro?

Edit: Moonraker says I've got 130 hours on it already. More than I thought!

Calibrate_ macro you say? No, not yet. Thanks for something to go look into!

Thanks for the link. This looks like it might be a battle for another day (like this weekend) but it really does look like a battle worth having!
