Build process is 99% complete. I taped on the panels initially using painter’s tape so I could print the skirts and a few mods in ABS. Several mods are already in place, including Nevermore, panel clips, picam mount, Rock-‘n’-roll, and LEDs. I had a TFT50 screen sitting around from a defunct Ender 5 that I swapped with LDO’s TFT43.

Also since last time, I changed from Klicky to KlickyPCB. I’ve had waaaaay more consistent probing with the PCB kit than I ever had with regular Klickym and I highly recommend the PCB version, Maybe a bit of mea culpa, I couldn’t for the life of me get the magnets to go flush into the Klicky mount, so there was some wobble that isn’t present in the PCB version.

Last thing to do is to close up the electronics with the bottom panel and I’ll be ready for a serial number 😁

    My DIY klicky was HORRIBLE. Surely there’s a better way than just “I dunno kinda like smush the wires against these magnets.” I used it once and decided the $20 for PCB was better than inevitably ramming my hotend into the bed one day.

      Yup, totally. Klicky as a concept is great, but the original design was just bad. The Klicky parts I had were from a PIF provider, so I’m confident it wasn’t a bad print job. Maybe Klicky NG fixes the issue, but to me the PCB is worth it.
