Basic Information: Printer Model: Tevo volcano MCU / Printerboard: MKS Gen_L v2.1 Host / SBC Pi4 klippy.log attached klippy.zip (997.2 KB) Describe your issue: Hi, I am setting this machine up from scratch. I have NO details on the parts as it was given to me as-is I think I have mos…

Could be helpful to know how much too tall exactly. You may check on the z-axes: rotation_distance microsteps in comparison to the used hardware/the settings on the board. [image] SoylentGeek: (If you wouldn’t mind sanity checking my other settings, that would be great too) :wink: Most o…

So, Here is a picture of the benchy next to a proper benchy. You can see that it’s just the height that is out of wack. Something I noticed, the layers are very loose, it will just crumble in my hands. So, it must be something about how it’s stepping I suspect. [1000001048] [1000001049]

[image] SoylentGeek: So, it must be something about how it’s stepping I suspect. I do too. For you run the steppers in stand-alone-mode, you should check the microstep settings of the z-axes. Also the thread pitch of the z-axes.

Just wanted to close the loop and let you all know that it’s working fine now. I was looking at some other configs and noticed that some specified the TMC driver type and added a section for it. (See below) Why did adding the tmc2208 section make a difference? My X and Y are closed loop stepper…

[image] SoylentGeek: Why did adding the tmc2208 section make a difference? Obviously the jumpers for the stand-alone settings of the driver are different. BTW: When copy&paste code snippets, please use the Preformatted Text feature of the forum editor to make it look more smooth. [Format]

Defining an UART interface for a standalone or externally controlled driver seems very wrong. Make sure to jumper your board for stand-alone drivers, e.g. see Drivers_A4988 · makerbase-mks/MKS-GEN_L Wiki · GitHub Make sure you set step_pulse_duration to the needs of your external driver
