Sure! happy to. I am also starting to wonder if something about my physical environment is trying… im trying a simple rectangle now with some height to see if i can simply reproduce with that. however, here is the exact piece ive failed on 3 times now. ( i was going to upload the gcode file but i don’t see a way how… )
3b case 3.stl (266 KB)
Ok got it, need to finish a 2hrs print that is ongoing and then I’ll try your model just wondering if your layer shift starts where the arrows are pointing or in any other place?
I had this with my V3SE, I had to increase the stepper motor current to the X and Y from 0.6 to 0.75A, it fixed it for me. Don’t know how to do that in Marlin as I am running Klipper.
interesting… ill see if i can find something about that too! i never had this problem until i started using the custom firmware, but i also only applied after i moved my printer location 
bc its been inconsistent, i don’t directly think the firmware is causing. just trying to eliminate possibilities.
No prob @Iroh3d on the waiting till your current print is done, ill be around. also, i don’t think its where your arrows are honestly but its hard to tell. im attaching images of my last attempt.
i will say i wonder if my Y (I think) belt isn’t tight enough? the “arm” bar that holds the spool etc, doesn’t wobble a whole lot, but does a tiny bit i guess?
Seems like M906 can do it, took a look in FW code and yes it is enabled. If no params sent will repot back the current current (lol)
In Klipper it is in printer.cfg, a simple text file, wasn’t sure if Marlin had something similar.
Your Object just finished. No layer shift, printed with the following settings:
Since I used my profile for “Fast printing” Quality is not the best specially on letters and where walls are to tight to pure the infill, that can be avoided adding another wall instead of infill. You can see in the last photos of the video Below that it looks as Overextrusion and the Letters with Ghosting.
And this is the timelapse:
The release of v1.0.9.7_5 has the incremental purge length and also fixed the level UI grid that was driving me crazy all out of place.
I think that now all reported bugs and missing features are in place, so I’ll focus on trying to find the SRAM address of the LCD to write images and maybe explore some Mods and new commands for automatic multicolor prints.
Thanx for all your hard work.
Anything we/I can do to assist with anything?
Thanks a lot for this… I am doing some research, testing, and tweaking with my sliced files for one. In review of Cura settings, I think my speeds (for some reason) got bumped up really high. I think my layer shifting was bad slicing at way too high speeds. I don’t think that has anything to do with the firmware… its just weird I didn’t see the changes in the slicer.
I am a total NooB so still learning what to pay attention to on every print. I am still pretty wild west about just printing whatever at the moment haha…
No worries, so far all is good.
You can try recalibrating the slicer/printer by doing the Calibrations test provided to see if the FW improves starting from scratch. And no worries too we all are learning everyday here.
Hi @Iroh3d
Installed tested and running like a dream. Nice touch on fixing the levelling screen.
Many thanks for the hard work. I wish I could help but I am getting a bit long in the tooth to understand that side of it.
Happy to throw a donation to you by paypal if you require.
Not sure if anything can be gleaned for the V3SE firmware that you are building but there has been an ongoing upgrade for my Snapmaker A350T to include vibration compensation, I have no idea how it works. Might help but probably not.
Just installed this latest version and did a print after leveling (No issues, and my print result was great!). I was going to tackle the UI grid when I had time, but you beat me to it! Great work, and thanks for all your hard work!
I must just be doing something wrong. or have missed more configuration or something. I’m struggling to print this STL, which is a pretty commonly used test I believe… I suspect my fails are with my slice settings, but I also wanted to share some stuff on the display that I see while printing.
im having adhesion issues too with this STL file for some reason. I added a brim, so that helped, but about halfway through it just falls off the bed and starts wasting filament into space. without the brim, it gets knocked off the same way just much earlier. according to the notes for the model, I shouldn’t need to set anything for adhesion.
I did print several models prior to installing this firmware without all these challenges so I am just surprised that everyone else here is having none of these issues. do I just need to rollback, or tweak my Cura settings more in some way? is my speed still just too fast?

Progress Percentage Circle depends on how you configured the Plugin. If it’s by later and your Total Layers are None then it will never be updated since the math operation will fail.
The plugin takes the total layer count from the GCODE file, parsing the string from orca or cura slicer. Someone opened an issue having the same because his system was moving the file from standard location. The plugin cannot find the file outside the standard location and it will report None. Refer to this issue
I would recommend to roll back, since this fw is giving you a lot of trouble and the display is not working as expected the waste of filament imho doesn’t worth to try to fix something that you had working fine before flashing this version.
ahh bummer. if I roll back, I just loose the host commands being available from octoprint I guess? should I try an earlier version of this mod?
Oh, and the None thing is going to definitely be related to the folders. I have folders setup for my family to help keep the prints better organized. So that sadly makes sense. As for the percentage thing, I do have it setup for what I think is correct there… in case its hard to tell with my theme, the toggle is set to the right, and i assume that means “enabled”.
Then, its set for layer progress. As for the commands, this is what is configured in the GCODE section of printer settings.
I only have a few plugins, most of which are the ones that are required for the custom firmware.
