This is good to know as it helps to narrow down the battlefield.

Octoprint now gets stuck claiming the printer is continuously requesting 
a repeat of line one,
but It works fine if the gcode file is put on its sd card and printed 
from the printers menu.

Octoprint is supposed to be able to handle more than one printer, but 
this change occurred after
I had plugged in another printer and tried to add it. It was working 
great with a prusa mk3S+.

And I'm trying to resurrect an Ender 5 Plus that has forgotten how to 
use any of the 3 BLTouch's
I have. So I've replaced the head with a volcano version of an E3D-V6 
and have a prox switch
with the wrong logic output mounted in place of the BLTouch. It seems 
amazon is not immune to
ID10T vendors. I ordered npn-no's and got pnp-nc's. Even the label on 
the devices cable is wrong.

The head replacement includes an Orbiter V2 extruder sitting on top of 
the volcano, with me
designing and printing the adapters. but still with the long capricorn 
tube feed to
absorb the jerking on the feed spool the mk3s+ does. Even with the much 
improved grip a bondtech
LGX extruder on the mk3s+ gives, I can still see artifacts of the spool 
jerk as it runs left/right
in the print.

Vertical flex in the head transport suspension rods I believe. So I've 
eliminated that
geometry error on the Ender 5 plus by interposing a fixed length of 
tubing so it doesn't
jerk on the spool as the head moves.

The Dell with an i5 in it had its video out nullified by some noisy 
weather 20 days back,
so I pulled out a 5 amp 5 volt box and hung a rock64/w/4gigs on it to 
run octoprint on, but
it quit working on the mk3s+ when I plugged in the Ender. I'll probably 
have to re-install
it all. Easy enough since I have armbian bullseye's img file here.

The target of all this is production of a woodworking tool using modern 
cnc wood carving and
3d printing, of a device I see selling in the 3 digit price range on 
ebay that you'll hand
down to your great grandkids if they are interested in fine woodworking 
as a means to buy
groceries, good housing and nice wheels.  At my age, I'm that great 
great grandpa. Looking to
supplement my SS in my dotage. A retired broadcast engineer, a C.E.T., 
approaching the end
of my time here as I look at the calendar and see my 88th coming up 
shortly. I'd like to
leave something useful behind. It will take at least 2 working printers 
to keep up with the
output of one of my milling machines if sales materialize. 3d printers 
are not fast. A screw
I can carve in 2 days, takes about 2 weeks to print the rest of it. 
Production, 20 a year, maybe.

Thanks everybody.  Take care and stay well.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
