Battlebots! XL5 tool heads fighting each other violently

The XL5 has issues. One of them is that for no reason and in the middle of a print job a tool will occasionally pick a fight with another tool. They fight to the death! (See attached video). The fight can continue for some time until I stop it.

Sure, when I have 30 minutes to kiss goodbye and that I'll never see again. Not today.

I actually wish that I had waited before getting the XL. It has a lot of rough edges and issues. It's more of a "beta" product than a finished product, in my opinion. Clearly, the past two years have been spent flitting to other projects like the Mk4 and not on this project.

Inhavent seen anyone else like this it seems like it's failing to disconnect the toll head checks that you have assembled everything correctly

checks that you have assembled everything correctly

I paid $500 for a fully assembled printer. So do you mean to check that Prusa has assembled everything correctly?

When this happened it was 97% into a 12 hour single-tool print. There was no reason or need for it to be anywhere near the tool-change area. It just flipped out and started playing battlebots.

This is just one of many utterly random behaviors that the XL5 exhibits.
