New ACE User, few queries

Hi everyone, had my ace for about a week now, churning out petg/pla stuff for my partner (mostly planters/gardening things) using ocraslicer on linux.

Updated the firmware to v19, but noticed klipper is out of date ( v0.12.0-267-g12cd1d9e-dirty), enabling the update manager to have a nose, it appears there are just under 270 updates for the system. I see Mainsail is at 2.14 (currently at v2.12). Realising we can’t update the firmware, I wondered how often it’s updated (being an “open source” system?)

In terms of the fans, it sounds like a hurricane on the side panel, I’m going to replace that later today, the psu fan sounds terrible, like the ball bearings have gone, is that normal?

Th camera, it’s 80/20 if it works, checked leads, deleted and re-added the configuration, it just stops

Lastly, the nozzles, reading previous threads about comparability, I wondered whether there is a consensus on 3rd party solutions yet? (Third party nozzle for SV06 ACE & Heater block mods to support K1 nozzles (Ace+, 6+, 7, and 7+ also))

The printer is superb, greased up all moving parts, have it on (mostly) orca default settings and let it print, next stage is to either buy filament from sunlu or esun. The overture filament is great, but expensive

Nozzle consensus seems to be Volcano.

No one has reported if my fan duct solves the overhang issue. Maybe you’re my alpha tester.

I have an Ace toolhead I’m adapting to an old SV01 Pro but don’t have an Ace to test the duct on.

Hi Doc!

I’m in the process of sorting out the bed leveling (silicon tube method), almost there (out by 0.3mm at the mo)

Happy to be a tester, I’m always a tinkerer (20 years in IT, never again)
