Hello people, I was having terrible problems with temperatures fluctuations and my prints didn't start when using octoprint because the temperature was too unstable. Recently I found a simple fix using a 10v1000uf capacitor in the board 5v pins. Now take a look at my temps after this change: They are pretty stable!!! and finally started to print from octoprint. You can do this really quick and for cheap, I found this information in the following video (method 2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCtL0Yd_w0I I hope this helps people from the thread "Printing stops" and others reporting different issues.

Hi everyone. After destroying my flexplate trying to remove a PETG print, any advice on how to print and remove the printed object after without ruining the bed ? I ordered new ones but wouldn't want to use them for one print only, not telling you how much time it took me to remove the bed cover from the printed part. Wil glue ease the remove ? Maybe removing while bed still hot ? Any advice would be appreciated

So i'm finally assembling my Proforge 2S. It's finally built and most thinfgs so far are ok but I am at the testing stage and having issues with Z axis. When I move the the gantry via the touchscreen it just goes down with both button presses and it rattles a lot. It seems like the up button is actually moving it downwards better while down just moves it slightly and/or gets stuck. The rattling sounds like drilling a wall. I thought some screws are lose but i rechecked everything and all seems fine. I also checked the jumpers and steppers. Jumpers are all in and if i understand correctly both TMC2100 steppers have to be set identical (unlike A4988). Please help someone :(
