Newpipe still works (Google may break it, but the app is usually updated in a couple days and it works again)

A lot of people who come into the museum do that, do they?
And the beanstalk
Sigh… Upvote
Looked into this myself, here’s a brief summary of my thoughts:
V2 has the flying gantry, Trident has the moving base. Primary difference is that since the base (i.e., print surface) is physically secured and rigid to the frame, bed meshes and other alignments should be more consistent. In other words, run a mesh once (or a few times for each of different bed temperatures) and never need to create the mesh again. All else being equal, the flying gantry is a more idealized option since the base in contact with the print is stationary, so very little force is ever seen by the model itself (short of small x and y forces while printing).
Now the trade off is the significantly added complexity of 4 independent z-motors supporting the gantry. In addition, this requires a gantry alignment macro each time the motors are powered off/on since the gantry sags asymmetrically if the motors aren’t locked (requiring power).
I have built a V2.4 and found it great, but I don’t know if I personally have found it worth it to have the fixed bed and additional motors. It’s nice to say I did, and it works, but if I needed to make another, I would absolutely go Trident. Cheaper and simpler, and it’s not an ideal world so many of the supposed benefits don’t really make a big difference.
We need to accept a premium for the cleanest and safest baseload generation we have.

You can use modeling software (or even some slicers) to pre-position or stitch the parts in place.
Seems like you’re printing this:
Perfectly cromulent!
Kinda silly to think we’d get it right there first time? To learning, moving upward, and a brighter Internet.
Just a guy here, but I hope you both have a great week, all the way up to Thursday.
What a great perspective – let the good times roll!
Can you describe the noise? Is it a high pitch whine, or a grinding sound?
It could be loose cable/connector for the stepper motor, as that can cause all sorts of strange sounds (usually of the grinding type).
If it’s more a constant high pitch sound, it’s likely the motors in use since they draw a lot of current to hold position (steppers work funny that way). This can be ignored safely, or reduce the motor peak amps to the motor to quiet the whine a bit (this usually involves modifying the firmware, and can be a bit more difficult sometimes.
Good luck
My initial guess (having had similar layer shifts in the past) is that one of those skinny ‘Y’ vertical pieces with angled overhangs simply curled up a little too much (shrinking warpage) and eventually the nozzle took a path where it made contact with the raised edge and cause the motor/belt to slip until it continued in the new position.
Ways to prevent include much higher cooling for those curling points (super slow high fan), or enclosure of the entire unit to mitigate warping.
Sorry for late response, hope it helps or you solved it.
I’m sure he’d kick an ass or two
