Finished everything up assembly-wise. Still lots of tuning to do, but I’d say this first print looks phenomenal for not having done any tuning other than Klicky+calibrate_z

    On the cable, have you considered hot glue?

    I have not, what a marvelous idea! Thanks!

    With regard to Klicky, yup, I can get it to go through the whole QGL/bed mesh/Z-calibration process and get off a print I’d estimate about 50% of the time. It’s mostly just consistency. I can probably increase the tolerances in printer.cfg, but I figure the defaults are what they are for a reason. I had trouble with assembling Klicky due to tolerances of the printed parts, and some of my magnets weren’t perfectly flush. I suspect (hope) this is causing some wobbles in the probe itself.

      hot glue

      No problem!

      I wouldn’t increase tolerances, at least not yet. Maybe reprint the parts that deal with the magnetic interface on your voron? I’ve been reprinting the odd part as I get my printer further along and print quality improves. Another thing to look at could be magnet strength. I bought a bunch of “ultra strong” 6mm x 3mm neo magnets on Amazon for my panel mounts. They’re strong enough for the job, but they’re nowhere near as strong as the magnets west 3D included in my printer kit.
