I'm tossing the crappy, old electronics and getting an Azteeg X5 GT card with 128x microstepping drivers... - Topic: Cannot connect to computerYou Reply: The issue has to do with electrical potentials.
The printer and the computer is wired differently when it comes to ground, chassis ground and how they handle AC input power.
A fast way to fix it is an USB Optocoupler.
Try searcing for 'USB isolator Optocoupler' on eBay, AliExpress or other site. Andcheck the pictures to make certain it has both a male and female connector.
The other option is to swap out the PSU for the printer and hope another one works differently. - Topic: Question about filaments..!!You Reply: In case anyone wonders...
The Monoprice Voxel has what is commonly known as a 'Bowden feed'.
(The Overlord, and most other Delta printers have the same issue)
This means there's a 'feeder' motor near the spool, that feeds the filament through a tube to the printhead.
Because it doesn't have a heavy motor on the printhead it means less wobble in the head, and it can ramp the movement speed up and down much quicker than if it had to haul along a motor.
The downside is the feeder tube. It's just about impossible to feed flexible plastics such as TPU trough that tube.
