I agree with GWhite. I found that the flexing of the cables connecting the heat sensor on the bed causes the copper strands to become brittle and ultimately break.

I bought a few marlin boards on the way to discovering what the problem really was.

There may never have been any techs that actually wanted the noise, but then I never worked in a lab. On the subject of noise, sometime in the mid '50s Remington marketed a more or less silent typewriter. I think it was called the quiet-writer. I can remember seing one, IIRC the type was secured to ...

When we lived on the boat (36 foot trawler) I built-up a computer from motherboard, 3U alminum server chassis, 12 volt input power supply, audigy sound card with panel controls, and a graphics card which could do TV. All of this was hung from the overhead next to the helm and provide TV from satelli...

I haven't tried this because I'm not uncomfortable with the sounds that my M2 makes, but adding a spacer between the fan and the grille ought to reduce the noise level. When you have time, look up how sirens are made and note how similar the design is to these pancake fans.

Hi Doug, I guess we're the last two users here. It seems like the quietest solution is to just leave off the grille. Something else you might try is to buy a Bambu X1 Carbon which despite having an enclosure makes some really LOUD noises while it's getting organized. with it running you'll never hea...

I apologize if this isn't clear, but I found that Octoprint has a max time-out setting such that if it doesn't get a new command for say 30 seconds it assumes print is over and shutsdown. I'd never had this problem in a few years of printing with it, until I did a model which required very long very...

I print only esun petg. 235 for the hot end and 70 for the bed. I have a remote shop about 2 miles for our apartment and for the last 5 years, until the intermittent stops started to happen, I'd run the printer from home via VNC and Octoprint with camera. I design at home because it's more comfortab...

I just bought the thermistor cable. I had to remove the old one from the very nice loom and get the new one in and get the loom closed up again, which all was a bit twitchy. If I ever make one of these. I'll use wire with more strands then MakerGear did - less likely to harden up with flexing. Excep...

If it's in the cable chaging the hot end won't have any effect. How do I know? I did it. I don't know where the break in the cable is. I do have a TBR, but it's frequency is too low to measure a cable this short. In one of the last shutdowns before I inally realized what the problem actuaolly was, t...
