Session 1

- Kristof + Sun
Initial Observation
- Machine in crash state
- Probe lowered in contact with the bed (presumably battery 0)
- Several tools not fully inserted in the ATC tool holders
Attempted to Mill
During auto level probing, the probe failed to detect surface, and the laser was off, machine halted when it touched the bed. We realized the probe was not charged.
Machine, surprisingly, continued to probe with an uncharged probe, until it crashed into the bed.
Learning: when probe battery is low, it may still grab the probe to start level and may halt, crashing in the bed, in the middle of the probing.
When observed the probe was not properly inserted into the charge dock, just like the other tool, not fully inserted in the their holder. Upon closer inspection, we saw the collet was dragging the shank upwards on the way up, where the tool is supposed fully released.
We noticed a misalignment in X axis.
Modified Advanced Settings
- Tool Rack X Offset: 355.8 → 355.3
Tested, didn't help but visually the alignment improved.
Then we:
- ATC Motion / Action distance (how far the collet is being opened upon the tool release): 1.6 → 1.7, which is within the .3 range the manual advises the increment to be
Tested, helped but not consistently release.
Then we increased to 1.8, it works consistently.
