My first build / 3d printer

Try and invert the direction pin. 

dir_pin: sb2209:gpio19 --------------->           dir_pin: !sb2209:gpio19

Need to have a look see if there is a 5v jumper or something like that for the sb2209 rp2040

Wouldn't be a jumper as your e-motor is connected to 24V. The only other thing is to make sure your PT1000 settings on the board are correct. They should be if the hotend is heating up.

What happened? What nozzle temp? Did you forget the bowden tube between the extruder and hotend? Are the gripper wheels slipping?

Lots of unknowns. 

At this point we're all in suspense.

Pla is the fillament atm nozzle temp was 200 rollers started slipping not sure if was cause of the blockage or a result is un blocked now the tube was fitted on hot end and is the one with the thicker walls as stated on voron setup rest is the thinner walled one I am using the galileo2 btw

 

But is unblocked now extruder is calibrated extrude 100mm get 100.20mm I think that is close enough

Definitely. 

It's really easy to push a good amount of plastic with the on screen controls. 200c is on the low side IMO, 210c would be better. Also, the recommended feed rate is 2mm/s for 100mm (50x2) and you are definitely good with 200.20mm.

I have one of these Mini PCs. It came with Win 11 Pro installed. Ryzen 7 with 16GB RAM and 1TB NVME SSD for under $350. Totally plug & play and more than enough power to do anything you need.

Good little unit but with the weak Australian dollar - this is nearly $800 AUD (Link on amazon.au)

Here is a document on how to run an AppImage

From what I have read on reddit, Orca does not love mint, but try this. (Follow this thread)

Change your graphic drivers to open source drivers.

In a terminal window, navigate to the directory you have put the appimage. Then enter this: ./OrcaSlicer_Linux_V2.1.1.AppImage

(Change V2.1.1.AppImage with the version you have.)

That should cause the program to start.

Installed mint in a virtual box on my Mac, downloaded Orca 2.1.1 and the result:

Seems to be working with the above steps.

You don't install the AppImage. You need to make it executable.

Go to where you downloaded it.

Right click and select properties:

1. Click on the "Permissions tab then

2. Click the checkbox that says "Allow executing file as a program"

Click Close

Right click on the file again and say open

Orca should start:

You need to do a  PROBE_ACCURACY check and then run the PROBE_CALIBRATE command to set your Z-Offset . See here for more info on probe accuracy and here for calibrating the probe.

1. Update your probe's offsets:

   • Remember, with Tap, your nozzle IS the probe, so your [probe] x_offset and [probe] y_offset values should be 0 now. You'll need to manually calibrate the probe's Z offset by using PROBE_CALIBRATE.

Looks like the config u helped me with is all there I have done the 100 probe cycles like the thing asked and the prob accuracy and that is all good

 

When I do the probe cal it comes up with the up and down screen but the info dose not say what to do with it I assume u lower it till the sheet of paper just has small amount of tension not hard town like on of the other printers say think was the switchwire and then tick is that right was there any other steps how do u save it ?

[sleepster217]

Next question re orca I see there is a profile for the voron 2.4 350 but I was looking at it and tried to slice a stl my partner gave me and let's say it had a anurisum thinks it is going to fast etc is the default one on there not even close and should I be importing the one off voron design site

Correct, lower it until you're happy, click accept and then save config will appear at the top ( or you can enter save_config at the command box).

[sleepster217]

Next trick is going to be to work out orca slicer now that the config is done 

Also got the rapido 2f uhf with the pt1000 thermister what spares would u recommend getting it came with the uf sock and a nozzel as well but I will not be able to use it in hf mode as the nozzel will not stick out the bottom 

And can any one Id the second nozzel I thought it was a .5 but I don't see a listing for one the other is a .4 and is it the v6 or something else
