My dude, the clouds parted and the 3D printing Gods cast a ray of pure gold down onto your printer that day. This is deffo a sign in big capital letters that you are doing God's work by printing a 1:1 Dalek. May the spirit of additive manufacturing continue to guide you!
LOL. You're not kidding. The power cut happened at 3pm and I didn't get home until 5:30pm, so I was even more impressed that the print stuck to the bed, but I'd been keeping the room at 70 degrees so that probably helped. The USB 3 stick I use for the STL files seems to upset this machine. If it is inserted when I switch it on it locks up, and the restart did the same thing. I was surprised that it recognised the recovery file when I reinserted it. At least I know it works. 😁
Hi. Mine is the original Marlin version with no modifications. I hope that they'll bring out a Klipper upgrade package for us older users, but there isn't one at the moment and there are some significant changes to the hardware apparently. I do have the new print head that the Pro machines are going to use, but I haven't tested it yet.
@@LanchburyConsultingLLC I really need a bigger CoreXY and there are not too many choices, but the machine needs to be reliable. With the new klipper printers, faster prints helps for the size of these prints. But the company has a history of virtually no support, making me think twice.
@@Will_Huff I understand your position. Support means a lot with these huge machines, and I've had a hot-end failure and had to wait for parts to come from China. No business wants to have to wait a week for simple things like that. After my experience, I bought 2 spare complete print heads, including one of the new designs which I still haven't got around to testing yet. I also bought extra belts. To be fair, I've done the same for my Elegoo printers too. You can never be too careful. I would like to see some reports on these new Klipper versions in action. I'm also following the Orange Storm Giga with interest, but I don't like the bed design on that, and it is a smaller build area (800x800x1000).

LOL. Someone was looking after me that night. If it hadn't restarted then people would have heard me cursing from 10 miles away.
Bugger me, how lucky was that restart?

Interestingly enough, my Elegoo Neptune 4 Max refuses to update its firmware off this same stick too. I have to use a USB 2.0 one.
Can you tell me if this is the new klipper version of the VEHOs?! They are plugging them like crazy on their channel. Thanks.
