Posted short #drag-race clip of V1E LowRider3 CNC, 24V xy = 21k mm/min, z = 2.6k mm/min, x=48", y=24"
BTT Octopus v1.1 running Marlin, BTT ESP32U Wifi Module running ESP3D.

Was testing rebuild with upgraded 24V power adapter, was 12V last time. Machine isn’t maxed out, but I can’t test more until later today, it’s almost 4am right now…

Also, since the last run, accidentally killed my SKR Pro 1.2 board and ended up rebuilding using an BigTreeTech Octopus v1.1, with ESP32U Wifi Module running ESP3D. Designed and printed a new modular extensible case to house everything, including a Raspberry Pi with it’s own touch screen.

Exploring the limits and pushing machines/software to non destructive failure is a great way to help identify which weaknesses/bottlenecks to improve.
