Hey Insta,

When do you think you can ship my order?

Thanks
Jerold

When did you place it?

November 8th. Looks like you are in the process of shipping. Received a shipped email from paypal yesterday. Very glad to see it coming from clear air of Kansas in to the smokey haze of Colorado where I live!.

Hey y'all voted to legalize it.

I received the MIC6/PEI sheet today. I removed the small screw clips on my Rev E and secured the plate using larger binder clips. It then reset the starting height to the new plate using the M2E Z adjust app on my mac.

I let the machine heat up and started to send a print to the machine from octoprint. As the nozzle was purging, I noticed the bed was higher than the nozzle so when it would go to wipe it would have slammed into the plate, so I quickly powered down the printer to avoid the collision.

Here is my S3D staring script. i am going to run through setting the starting height again in the morning in case it is the problem. Can the script raise the bed higher than the starting height? Betting the starting height failed to save to firmware, but I'm not sure and figure I should ask.

Could be.....Unfortunately you're not going to be able to modify it from your starting script. You can either try resetting the Starting Height and level using the QuickStart Application, or you can try using the Z-Adjust Application again, or try just coding it using the codes that Steve has written up.

For some reason it might not have stuck the first time, although that's the first time I've heard of that happening if it's been reset using the Z-Adjust Application. Usually that happens in the QuickStart App if you fail to follow through all of the leveling steps.

I am not familiar with these!

Took me a while to find it, since it went walkabout (chuckle!)...but here's the link to the discussion in the Z-Adjust App link:

I set the starting height with the Z adjust app just now and the M206 echo shows
I checked the bed location at starting height and it shows -205.70

Hopefully it is properly set now. Heating up...

Also, what is the gcode command to echo the x/y/z current positions?

I am up and printing on MIC6/PEI. Thank you very much Insta. Very happy to ditch the Aqua Net.

What temperature should I heat the bed to? I have been using 70C with boro.
