Uneven Extrusion on Infill
I changed from Grid to Rectilinear due to this problem and sometimes a rubbing nozzle on the infill...never again. 🤷♂️

Ellis' Pressure Advance / Linear Advance Calibration Tool - not working on RatOS v2.1
"The Move Out of Range" error is something I've come across from time to time with no real reason, found out that if you move axis before a print starts sometimes even after a home all order it will fail...re-starting the printer solves it 🤷♂️ ...why??? I don't know, beacuse I use the same g-code file.

Issues with ADXL Invalid adxl345 id (got ff vs e5).
Most of the time it seems to be eithewr for a too long wiring or not using paired Ethernet paired wires....there's been a lot commented here on this issue. Myself had this problem and used @blacksmithforlife 🇺🇸 solution and it worked at first attempt.

First layer issue
It doesn't look that bad to me....if it helps on my 0,4mm nozzle in the Minion and on Cura I have it set to 0,38 line width, it's how it showed the best results to me.

Cura 5.3.0 generating bad gcode
I'm still on 5.2 because I was having issues with 5.3.0 beta-2 doing strange things on layers....probably bugs that need fixing.

BTT Smart sensor
As i pointed earlier mine did not want to work using connector E0 and pin !PE15 had to split wires and leave ground and voltage on connector E0 and use the EXP-2 signal pin connector to make it work. It now works fine, I guess there might be some interference or something. Remember you will most likely have to use ! Before pin number.

BTT Smart sensor
I did have some trouble too with that sensor on my SKR Pro 1.2, my solution was to split voltage and ground (to endstop connector) and then the signal wire to the LCD EXP-2 whatever signal pin.

Hotend and Bed Temp Issues?
On my normal printers i’m at 220 on PLA, on the V-Minion the very same PLA role I’m going up to 240…I guess because I’m using a PT100 as a thermistor which seems to be less accurate than the ones on my other printers…and on the minion I’m using a double 5015 cooling fan too. Will probably run a new PID tune in the near future but so far it does well as it is.

Help with BTT Smart Filament Sensor config V-Minion
Finally found a solution through somebody with the same board and problem on reddit.
I splitted connectors, leaving voltage and ground on E0Stop connector and moving signal to EXP-2 PB14 pin connector.
And it now works flawlesly as expected.
Don't understand why, but it does work.

Help with BTT Smart Filament Sensor config V-Minion
Yes, thanks. Although i don’t understand the low and high voltage thing…and don’t know what pin is referring to.
Is it something to do with the connector PIN number ? 🤷🏻♂️

Help with BTT Smart Filament Sensor config V-Minion
I've done this and that and no success on the V-Minion, can't really be that difficult 🤷♂️ 😳 😭
As soon as I run my bed mesh it shows filament detected, once does the primeline it goes for the skirt print and then runs into parking mode....
I've tried different detection lenghts with no success.
Here's my set up:
[filament_motion_sensor Filament_Sensor]
detection_length: 7.0
The minimum length of filament pulled through the sensor to trigger
a state change on the switch_pin
Default is 7 mm.
extruder: extruder
The name of the extruder section this sensor is associated with.
This parameter must be provided.
switch_pin: ^PE15
pause_on_runout: True
#runout_gcode:
#insert_gcode:
#event_delay: 3.0
#pause_delay: 0.5
Has anyone really succeeded on the Minion and BTT Smart Filament Sensor? if so please share your data, pleeeaaaase !!!

Help with BTT Smart Filament Sensor config V-Minion
Will give it a go and thanks a lot.
I'm totally new to all these config, compiling, etc world
and to be honesty can't find in my V-Minion printer.cfg file where the M600 is...any assistance on where to look for?
And BTW is there anything to be added to the slicer ? As I've read different versions on different places. 👍

Anyone knows how to set up a mechanical standard filament sensor on the V-Minion? I give up on the BTT Smart Filament Sensor, it’s a nightmare and fails to work properly all the time. Thanks
