March 2024 Magneto X Production and Product Update

Dear Community,

It's been an exhilarating two weeks since our last blog post, filled with new developments for Magneto X.has been released. Thanks to Tom at Made with Layers and 3D Muskeeters, more insightful videos about Magneto X have been released. Additionally, we're thrilled to see the first batch of pre-orders being delivered, with customers starting to share their pictures and feedback online.

Here's what's new:

Production update 

We're expecting to receive the updated load cell PCBs later this week. Upon their arrival, we'll conduct quality control checks and dispatch them immediately. Our production line is also poised, awaiting these parts to complete the assembly of pending machines. 

Insulation Update 

We've engineered a solution to the insulation issue highlighted by Tom. Our approach includes:

Installing a plate beneath the heated bed to shield direct access to exposed wires.

Adding a cover for the ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) beneath the printer to prevent direct access.

Nozzle issue

In response to the nozzle issue reported by Tom from Made with Layers, where the nozzle crashed into the build plate, we've made significant firmware enhancements:

• The load cell sensor will now halt operations if it detects excessive force during z-aix movment, not just during printing.

• Adjustments to the Z-axis movement direction and length aim to prevent the plate from moving in an incorrect direction or too far.

Klipper firmware update.

The forthcoming firmware update will encompass:

• Integration of a module for detecting and halting operations when excessive force is detected by the load cell.

• The introduction of KAMP (Klipper-Adaptive-Meshing-Purging), now enabled by default.

• Enhanced hotend temperature determination for more accurate readings. An update to the printing profiles is imminent. 

• Disabling the runout sensor by default to avoid random pauses caused by the current Klipper firmware. A solution is in the works.

• Refined Z-axis movement settings.

• Optimized configuration settings in CONFIG file

These updates are the result of invaluable feedback from our testers, and we're conducting additional testing before the official release.
