### Basic Information: Printer Model: Ender 3 V2 MCU / Printerboard: v4.2.2 `klippy.log` - my klippy.log is nothing but Stats lines every 1 second. I Just setup installed the Creality Sprite Pro extruder and have been struggling to get it to print anything. I think I’ve made a mistake by using klipper, but I’m trying to figure it out. My latest issue is trying to print the pressure advance square tower and am getting a failure I have no clue what to do with. I have sliced the tower with Cura and sent it to fluidd to print and it starts to print and then fails within seconds with ```auto // Moving filament tip 0.0mms 17:26:21 // KAMP purge is using firmware retraction. 17:26:21 // KAMP purge starting at 102.8045, 40.79 and purging 30.0mm of filament, requested flow rate is 12.0mm/s3. 17:26:30 echo: Print Started 17:26:47 // Move exceeds maximum extrusion (8.700mm^2 vs 5.000mm^2) // See the 'max_extrude_cross_section' config option for details 17:26:47 !!

You know, it would be a lot easier to help if you included your `klippy.log`. It’s the file that is “nothing but Stats lines every 1 second.” but there’s other information there that’s required to understand what’s happening. Please post you `klippy.log`. ---

You have over 500 lines of macros - where did you get them? More importantly: how did you validate them? The first thing you should do is delete all the Macros (with maybe the exception of `CANCEL_PRINT`, `RESUME` & `PAUSE`) and try to run your print job again. From there, we can work through any problems that arise. ---

Hey there! I could use your help with my 3D printer issue. You seem quite knowledgeable. I don’t know how to DM you yet ---

Post it here on the Klipper Discourse Group. I’m sure somebody can help you. ---

I have discovered the problem. It was painfully not obvious, but the START\_PRINT macro was putting the printer in relative mode and the slicer was expecting absolute mode. Once I added another M82 at the bottom end of the START\_PRINT macro, it started working…smh ---
