@MooseJuice Did the switch from the linearmodule fit into the printhead?
I havent tried yet but I plan to look at that. i have a spare print head so i am kinda just tinkering around in the background.
I contacted crouzet and in typical crouzet fashion their switch part numbering system is just as incoherent as the rest of their stuff
so if anyone wanted to do that, lol it shows just a lever but he says you will get it with a switch.
Let the record show that the crouzet switches lever is far too long and while the length is proper, the width is nearly twice the size and wont fit.
So don’t buy that.
Its like they went out of their way to make it the biggest pain in the ass possible so that you have to buy a new print head, yet i cant seem to get them to even talk to me about it right now.
This has kinda turned into my lil blog thread I guess.
I have been really fine tuning the machine and I am pretty happy with the way this print came out. It is PETG (slightly wet even) with a .4 nozzle
Its just a decorative ornamental thing but the details really came out good on it.
I cant even imagine this thing printing at all when i first started. I feel like my stringing could use a little more love but its alot better than it was.
Unrelated,
i decided i was going to revisit cura after using simplify3d for awhile, and i am really unimpressed. The quality is meh and the time to print is double. Trying to duplicate settings apples to apples wherever I could.
To be fair, I think that my infill settings could use a different type. I was using 100% infill and watching the thing shoot around like a laser show was really kinda pathetic. i hate the idea of needing different profiles for things (and maintaining all of them on top of it as I hone my skills further) i just want to quickly set to 100% and let it go vs something a bit bigger as the most efficient way of changing things, going through the settings to choose the different pattern is cumbersome when you rapid fire lots of different things throughout the day.
The auto line width on s3d is just nice. I do not like how it handles retraction against different materials though.
Maybe ill give cura another go but using concentric pattern instead. Even outside of that, it just did not come out as nice in general.
I wish s3d would at least throw a hint that something was coming sometime in the near future at all for updates.
I tried to install prusa slicer but didnt really feel it when i played. i know on s3d i had to say that the y axis needs flipped which i couldnt locate on prusa, and i found the interface to be a bit bumbly.

Brent,
Looking at this gcode file i see this backlash comp setting here:
M425 X0.02 Y0.02 Z0.02 F1 S0
I have read that backlash comp is not enabled on the snapmaker. Is there something I need to do before this gcode would work or is it just fine as it is?
That code enables it. The snapmaker doesn’t remember it being turned on via the eeprom, so put it in the job header so it’s always on for every job.
perfect. i went to look at my gcode a bit ago and it had backlash at .035 in each axis already, musta been a copy from some older code you shared at some point 
I turn it down to .02 and see a nice improvment already, so i guess maybe i should sit down and properly figure it out.
.02 is the factory spec, you’re probably not going to get it better than that.
