I’d give Teaching Tech’s calibrations a try. His website has a great guide for tuning every part of your printer. Teaching Tech 3D Printer Calibration
You said you recently got a gigabit plan, but that’s related to your home download speed. Check to see what your upload speed actually is. Depending on your ISP’s plans, you might have a speedy download but a slow upload.
‘TomSka and Friends’ has good enjoyable ads. They generally only have the one sponsor (Surfshark VPN) but they’ve done a lot for pushing for more enjoyable ads. Their off the rails skits are ones I don’t skip
Do you have another printer to test with? Maybe it’s something in the SKR Mini that’s not working.
Hope it goes well!
The only thing I can think of with the extruder is thermal runaway, but Klipper would tell you if that was the case. Have you tried with no camera plugged in? If new USB cables aren’t working, it might be worth starting from scratch and rebuilding your Klipper instances. If a clean Klipper install (with no webcams or anything) is breaking, then it’s likely going to be a hardware issue.
How old is your Pi? I had the same issues on a generic board (Le Potato) but upgrading to a Pi 4 Model B fixed it for me. I have both my Neptune 2S (modded) and Neptune 3 Pro (stock) running on the same Pi with no issues.
Definitely change your USB cable. If you’ve got some complex files, maybe the cable can’t handle the bandwidth (experienced this back when I was first starting out)
Lots of different ways to get into it. I personally love my Elegoo printers (An older Neptune 2S and a Neptune 3 Pro)
Tried IID Max’s PLA+ since they were always posting discounts on Reddit. I’ve stuck with them since for anything that needs color, their filament is vibrant and I’ve never had any issues. Buying in bulk you’re looking at roughly $10/kg. For my black I use Elegoo PLA. It has a nice sheen to it.
For me it adds some reassurance if my garage door is closed while I’m away
There’s an option to change the download size. 2GB is the smallest, 50GB I believe is the biggest. Downloaded my Google Photos to import into Immich yesterday, I opted for 10GB files and had 17 zip files to download.
I could have, sure. Wanted to keep working on my current projects so went the quick way and just swapped it out. It will be salvaged for some future project.
