I would be pleased about a feedback from the mysterious "superpinda"! Hopefully the mini bed leveling will work more reliable. With the MK3 I will certainly not change anything. It works with the Pinda V2 very well and accurately.
For the Mini I wanted to use a Bondtech extruder, but then I decided to build my own, which runs precise and reliable, even with carbon materials.

 

Statt zu klagen, dass wir nicht alles haben, was wir wollen, sollten wir lieber dankbar sein, dass wir nicht alles bekommen, was wir verdienen.

I hope so too.  Mine has been fine but a lot are suffering.

How do you crimp those brass olives?

rather easy: same as originals, as Jasii answered to me long ago in this thread:

Compression rings compress (tighten) when you screw down the nut onto the seat.

  1. Place the compression nut on the PTFE tube
  2. Then place the compression ring on the tube
  3. Insert the end of the tube into the threaded seat
  4. Slide the nut down (which will also slide the ring)
  5. Tighten the nut while keeping the tube pressed into the seat

The tube should now be 'locked' in place. If you unscrew the nut you will find the compression sleeve is now pressed into the tube slightly and will not move.

It must not work with Capricorn tubing.

Which Capricorn tubing do you have? I was able to crimp it using the same steps as above on Capricorn XS tubing, but haven't tried it on the Capricorn TL tubing.

both.  It keeps slipping off.  I will try and tighten it more.
