Do the steps manually You can do steps 1-4 for now What is concerning is you not being able to perform.beacon calibrate which is the main error you are getting Did you use a torque wrench when you hot tightened? The spread may be high because the melt zone extender and or the nozzle are not properly torqued. You may also have to check you have th bacon screwed down securely

It's working because it does your z home. Does the nozzle make contact with the bed plate? Is is forceful?
Zimt Snad
Zimt Snad2w ago
my nozzle didn't touch the bed once

Also. I'd you can take a pic of the nozzle and melt zone extender without the boot on I can compare to mine.

Can you swap USB ports on the pi? I used one of the USB 3 ports

I'll get home and take some pictures I'll read up on what can cause your spread issues. It's bascically telling you the 3 ponya it's taking are out of a usuable range to calibrate

There is slightly less solder on the left most pin for the connector

But since there is enough on the other side I don't know if this is an issue

I've added that tiny bit of missing solder but it didn't help the issue

You may want to re-run the config wizard
Zimt Snad
Zimt Snad2w ago
did that already just for sanity checking
ZIMZ
ZIMZ2w ago
That latest error is saying it has no trigger. You may want to contact beacon Or ratrig via email

Might as well notify them I just moved my printer to a diffrent room and it works fine now?
ZIMZ

Grounding issue? EMF?
Zimt Snad
Zimt Snad2w ago
I would say emf because in that previous room there was quite big antenna array not that far away Like 2 meters above

That might have been it
