Re: Is the Y-Axis endstop correct? Bed buzz during homing ax

Yes, that's what my configuration looks like, wiring and everything. I'm trying to understand, is the bed SUPPOSED to ram into the plastic spacer, which then the plastic spacer is supposed to press the Y end stop and activate the switch? In mine, it presses the plastic spacer which partially presses...

Extruder driver chip temp = 132 degrees F.
Heatbed driver chip temp = 151 degrees F.

Doesn't seem particularly alarming, just thought board temp might be freezing one of the chips or something.

So a power line surge could be causing this? Would a UPS help prevent that?

Halfway through a print, the printer suddenly freezes with the extruder nozzle just sitting in one place creating a tiny puddle of plastic on the object, and it just hangs there, forever. It's happened 7 times so far, and I'm getting a lit...
