Problems With Clippy
I made a 3D clippy for my printer, but it simply can't cut the filament. I thought it was a power issue, so I bought a buck converter, tried it with many different voltages and it still didn't cut. (When I say it doesn't cut, I mean the servo goes into the cutting position, but doesn't snap the filament.) Then I tried upgrading to a 40kg servo, but that still gave the same issue. I feel like I'm missing something here. It's setup exactly as I've seen on many other setups, and in your buck converter video. Here is the whole setup idea:
-I have a 20/40kg (tried both) mounted in a clippy
-I have a buck converter connected giving it around 7 volts and 2 amps. (.2 volts higher than needed)
-The servo goes in, doesn't cut it, then sometimes comes out. The other times, the servo goes haywire, makes the OLED screen go black, the starts going out into random positions and then the Arduino restarts
-The mount is rigid and not flexing, as mentioned in similar problems.
Any help is appreciated!
I have decided to sell my chameleon unit to someone who will probably have a better time setting it up (as they have an ender 3 pro, not a specialty printer like the Ankermake M5C) so I can buy the Elegoo Centauri (which will have an official MMU), so this problem doesn't really need to be answered anymore, so I will stay in the community, but mainly to help others set up their own CNC Shield v4 chameleon. I am planning to make a big post on this, with a BOM and instructions.
Maybe, if the Elegoo MMU is too expensive, I will build a chameleon for it (which would not need a servo cutter as it has one built in).
