Getting started with MK4 and setup

Hi all, So I've have the 3d Chameleon for a few months now and had a hell of a time setting it up originally. Now that I have the MK4 firmware and a screen this seems like a much easier task now.

One of my previous issues I had was the filaments would get jammed in the tubing or not properly go through the extruder, causing the drive gear to strip the filament. I'm wondering if maybe my setup is incorrect, but I did also get the parts for an auto clippy but have no idea where to mount it.

My printer is a LK1 "Frankenstein" and I have a Sprite Pro Extruder. I'd like to avoid if possible of putting the Y on the extruder because I think thats where auto clippy would go. Does anyone have any advice or tips?

I managed to print them but the recommended servo goes the opposite way and none of the horns fit correctly. I'm also super confusing on what blade and how to insert it.

There's an alternate firmware that reverses the action on the servo. Alternatively, you can mirror the print in your slicer.

Yeah I found that but had issues trying to program the board myself. The first time I bricked it and this time I figured it out and got the servo working in the right direction. I figured out the blade just need to get the slot to print a little bit wider. Mirroring the print won't work because I'm using the sprite pro mount and it has a bracket that goes on the left side so mirroring is not an option.

There is a Digital 3DClippy for the Sprite developed by Matthew here: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/2BoJY2VfoV6-digital-3d-clippy-for-sprite-extruder Notice it has the stand for the Y adapter as well, which I highly recommend using. It'll be right on the 3DClippy, so you have the best of both worlds.
