What are some of the questions we answered today?

I seem to have problems with PETG layer sticking together what do you think would help?

Anyone familiar with Skriware 2?

I sent you an eamail about my issue with the twisting filament in the bowden tube using a dual drive extruder! I took your advice and I realigned the dual hob drive gears and the issue has all but disappeared.

​Has anyone ever configured Marlin 2.0 for an Ultimaker 2 with a SKR 1.5 Turbo?

​I am using an Anycubic Chiron bed. Should I add insulation? If so what?

What will we answer today?

What is the superior architecture, y-axis on bed or y-axis on the top frame ?

I am still having a lot of trouble with under extruding any suggestions?

I have a Creality Ender 5 Plus and homing the bed it goes in the wrong direction (down instead of up). This happens after I had a failed print and then it didn’t home properly.

What are the settings I need to change Marlin 2.0, do I need to get my TFT 35 v3 to work on the smart touch screen mode?

Have any of you guys try the ender extender and if so do you like it?
