Building the Mingda Rock 3, while answering questions.

I need help I have an ender 3 pro and am wondering how to fix the silent motherboard with the homing is failing when I auto home.

How important is it to get the x axis level with the blocks ?

Do you recomend adding an octopi to an ender 3pro? is there any issues/ things to be aware for a new user like myself?

Have you guys looked at the aloha version of Cura Arachne?

 I have the Sovol sv01 on order. What board can I upgrade to for a silent board. Does it have to be a SOVOL or can I use a big tree tech?
