Just finished installing it this evening. Going to update the firmware, run thermal model, and PID tune tomorrow. Also installed the silicone bed mod and need to level everything out. Got a busy day tomorrow, wish me luck.

May your highs be high and your lows short and with minimal frustration! Good luck!

Assuming my experience is everyones, you will like it. Don’t spend too much time on the thermal model, though. If you get it to work, great! If you don’t, there’s no shame in just turning it off.

Apparently the 3.13 fw supports the Revo now, so we'll see.

Update: Flashed the 3.13.2 Revo fw and new fw isn't working for TM calibration... going through the troubleshooting steps on github

Update 2: got it working with suggestions on the github. Had to manually send some codes to the printer through octoprint to get a TM set up.

Nice! I've had my revo nozzles for a few months now and really love the quick swap

I might just be a cheap bastard, but why not get a CoreXY for that price?

They make hotends with quick swap nozzles? This picture is of the E3D Revo hotend replacing the stock E3D v6 in the Prusa MK3S+.

that's a decent reason if you switch nozzles often. I leave a 0.6mm on my K1 Max permanently, best of both worlds

[–] USSEthernet@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I had a .25 nozzle for small details but swapping is a pain in the ass with having to heat up to unscrew it. Then my heater block moves with it. Then you have to hope you don't drop the hot nozzle on your bed and dent it (I know). I tend to print a variety of things so being able to quick swap will be nice.

Or if you don't screw it in JUST RIGHT It decides to become thinner than water and shoot out the sides 🥹

[–] USSEthernet@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've never seen that (I tend to over tighten rather than under), but I can see how that can happen quite often.

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Its something really dumb like forgetting to heat up your hotend before you install it and it doesn't make a seal or something
