I normally do my slicing with s3d and then upload it to the pi. When the print starts the printer attempts to home z as it should per starting gcode. The printer doesn't do that nice little easy bounce you get when it homes z properly (The bed lowers, hits the switch, and picks up a little). Instead...

Re: 'Mammoth' Part Cooler

That's pretty awesome ! Thanks! Looks awesome, I wonder though if the height and center of gravity will have an effect on printing in general Thanks! I have some free time this weekend so I'll be testing it, I didn't get to do a benchy run last night but I'm going to get it running on something rig...

'Mammoth' Part Cooler

Hi everyone I'm new to 3D printing, I've been at it for a couple months now and I'm loving my M2. So far I've upgraded it with one of insta's Mic6 plates and that alone had been awesome.
