Pause print to use calipers to figure out if brand new Orion was printing accurately
Unpause print and what was once lovingly known as Z Axis 0 was then likely a foot or two under the table.
Full steam ahead into and across the glass. STOP button did nothing.
It made a fabulous noise lmao...
Nozzle seems to be the only damage - SeeMeCNC guys making it right already
I'm going to like this printer lol.

Yeah, the pause and resume works randomly. It has been a problem from the begining. Not sure why they can't fix it. I wish they'd spend some time on an auto calibrate routine. There are deltas out there that have it. I wonder if they hide behind the open source firmware?

Not a scratch; was pretty impressed by that heh.
I guess that the benefit of having belts and weak steppers over screw drive and some bigger NEMA's ala CNC mill lol - harder to break stuff.
JJ's reply to me via my original email support request:
Typically I print any long print (longer than 2 hours) via the SD card. If I have a shorter print, or one that I want to pause in the middle I print straight from the host software without the SD card. Pausing when printing via the host software has never failed me.
Will definitely keep that in mind

Just realized that when this happened it shifted the glass build plate a good quarter inch off center heh; didn't even notice it wasn't aligned anymore.

same result at me!
my RMV2 lost his Z height ( im search for the problem ). i recalibrate the height and want to calibrate the 3 towers and click the macro. The extruder want to reach the Z0 300mm under the bed. Result is: i order 2 new 0.5 nozzle and for tests a 0.35 nozzle ^^
