Ohw cool. This will give you more acceleration and more high speed printing. I have done the Mantis Dual 5015 upgrade with the rapido uhf. And I don't want the stealthburner back.
Yes, only just printing my first test prints with the Rapid Burner toolhead and Beacon on my V2 350mm, but I am loving the results so far. Will spend some time tuning for quality at speed once I get some needed printing done, but that will be content for an upcoming video.
@@oldguymeltsplastic I can print in good quality at 350mm sec and 12000mm acc. After runing inputshaper with the new hotend. I'm curious what speeds you will get. So keep us updated.
@@Jan-pz5ox TEST_SPEED macro was successful at 750mm/s and 20,000 mm/s^2, but then failed when I pushed accel to 25,000 mm/s^2, using run_current of 1.1. This is just for motion testing, and not actual print speeds... yet! Will try again after raising run_current a bit.
Isn't the difference between tap and beacon that beacon sort of measures the distance to the first metal object and tap measures the exact distance to the actual print surface? So, if I change to a textured plate, which is a fraction higher, beacon won't notice? Or am I understanding it wrong?
The honest answer is "I'm not sure", but I can ask around on the Annex Engineering Discord server (or you can as well), and get back to you. What I can say is that my first layers still needed to be dialed in manually (no Auto Z Calibration here), but now that I have, they are very consistently good across the whole plate, on account of the higher number of bed mesh probe points resulting in a higher resolution bed mesh. I rarely switch my bed surface, even though the 3DHub PEI sheet is smooth/textured dual sided. I just prefer the look of the parts coming off of the textured side, which admittedly won't be everybody's preference.
"Official" answer from one of the Annex Engineering developers on Discord: "Correct, beacon doesn't see the pei so you may need to calibrate per plate". Hope that helps!
@@oldguymeltsplastic Thanks! I wasn't sure really...I'm in the process of building a Voron-like machine (ZeroG Mercury One) and I'd like to use a TAP, but I also heard good stories about Beacon. I'd like to know which one is 'better' or more practical. I think TAP is more in the direction of a good auto-z solution, while Beacon is perfect for a highly detailed and quick bed mesh.

The legend is back!
LOL, not sure about my legendary status, but I'll accept being labeled as "Rare". ;-)
It would be interesting to compare input shaper results

@@Jan-pz5ox Will do!

@@oldguymeltsplastic Wow that's huge. You run this system at 48v?
That purple looks awesome. Which filament is that?
It's Sparkle ABS+ Purple Mist from sparta3d.ca
