PETG Problems
So checking my settings (I use Super Slicer) my EM is .94. Not sure how much tampering I should do with that. I can't find a setting for pressure advance though. I may knock the EM down a bit at a time to see what difference it makes but idk if I should go all the way to .8 right away lol

PETG Problems
So I haven't done very much. I admit I am not very knowledgeable about the more technical bits of 3D printing despite having been doing it for a number of years now. I have gotten my retraction pretty well tuned which was something I messed with in an attempt to solve stringing a while back. But as far as the extrusion multiplier and pressure advance, I am not familiar with these. I've heard of them but don't have any experience messing with them.

Print randomly stops
Well now my extruder isn't heating up at all so I guess I've figured out my problem. No idea how it happened but I've got some parts to order and work to do. Ugh....

It was the one holding the wires for the thermistor and heater together I believe. Tiny white one.

So I took my sock off and the tiny zip tie looks like it burnt off and fell down in 3 pieces. Sock probably needs replacing for sure. But it still stays on. Would it being just a little too high up effect it that much?

Wires are relatively new though so wear seems unlikely. I have the Toolhead Upgrade foe the V-Core 3 which came with the Rapido, and I only did this upgrade a few months ago. The silicon sock is on but now that I am looking at it, there's a possibility it might be a little too high up on the extruder. There's some tearing to it I caused when trying to pry it off when some filament cooled up inside it. I'll try adjusting that and going from there. Where can I find a replacement sock?

What I dont get is why it was going for days before it happened, and then a couple hours before it happened again.

extrusion issues
It was the 3.1 500, running PETG and no enclosure. I just slowed it down and decided to see what happens. Next attempt went perfectly for the first 24 hours until I came home from work and apparently I had a nasty layer shift, killing my print... it was a 6 day print. Time to start over....

Not sure what you meant when you said "sensor_type: pt1000" as I am not a very tech savvy person. Had a lot of help setting this thing up to begin with. And how do I post the printer.cfg? I've double checked it and I did need to update my extruder but I'm still using the same rapido I've had.

Z Tilt error help
Finally home and been doing some independent research and ended up giving it a shot at just tightening the grub screws and seeing where it got me. Turns out that must have been my problem because I'm good to go now. Thanks for the help and advice!

Sorry for delay in response, had an interview to go to. Just went and checked and all my z motors are plugged in accurately so that is not my malfunction here.
