So I have wasted over a whole day getting this thing to work! It keeps not feeding the pla through so the direct drive...

Hi, So more testing on the palette 2s - I increased flow rate of my print and slowly over the print time the palette did...

First time trying to use my Palette 2s - I have Octoprint on Raspberry pi 3b+ - going through the first time setup I made...

@picaboubx - So you can’t get it to even put out enough pla to get it to the extruder? Did you also have the issue where its not feeding the PLA enough and it either snaps or keeps hitting the buffer switch and causes an error?

Still not working - just odesnt keep feeding to maintain the distance given in both the slicer and the palette to keep pla between it and the printer - this is so stupid! You should have in the setup manual to make sure the bowen tube measurement is in the printer AND THE SLICER! I had to jump through mulit stupid support pages before I found that info! Again for nearly a 1000aud device - this is utta $@$*!

What about cura 4.6 \ 4.7 ? same thing?

and if your extruder has no plug for a bowen tube.. because its direct DRIVE!? “For the majority of Direct Drive printers, the medium length of tubing (800 mm) allows for the extruder to move around the print area comfortably.  “ this is just a stupid bit of writing! Direct drive doesn’t normally have bowen tubes!

Nothing here covering direct drive where there isnt a bowen tube! Then what? Am I meant to pretend that there is one and put in the length of pla I have measured and then saved in the palette? Why doesn't this just get picked up from the measurements set in the palette? Is this why it just runs out if ola at the printers exteuder amd snaps the pla because the palettes not feeding it?

Cant find this mode and theres no way these setting work..closer to 4.3.1

What if your direct drive does not have a connection for the tube and you measure out a length of pla to use and set that length? Shouldn’t the palette then make sure that length is always there between it and the printer?

Ahould all products be flashed to the newest firmware? I just got mine! Do I have to do this anyway?

What does this even mean? Test slicer settings for what? My printer works perfectly with out the palette s2! Why do I need to run a calibration test on my slicer settings? Am I mean to print a set file? Am I meant to print using the Pallett but just as a normal single print? If so why the !&&* isnt this in the setup guide? It says to connect every thing and print!

Well this is useless! You should provide links for what to do if it doesn't work! Like if its not feeding the pla enough to the print while trying a print! I can't find anything to tell me how to fix this!
