 Klipper config changes will cause an auto backup to [the beeg config repo](https://github.com/glasgowhackerspace/beeg-plotter-configs) so if it breaks or gets wiped, you should restore it from there. If you do make big changes, please announce it on the discord.

+# Diagnosing problems
+### Wobbly lines
+If lines are coming out wobbly, make sure both belts are properly tensioned and you aren't trying to push high accelerations during plotting.
+### Pen isn't making proper contact, or pen is being forced down too hard
+Ensure the Z homing sequence is working properly and is making contact with the bed (NOT paper, it must contact the bed directly). Otherwise, adjust the Z offset so it makes proper contact with the paper.
+### Webpage isn't accessible
+Turn it off and back on again and wait a bit.
+### It made a loud noise that wasn't the gantry falling!
+It probably crashed while trying to home, or steps were skipped and it lost position. Make sure that the carriage is able to hit the endstops and that you aren't trying to make it accelerate too quickly.
+### It made a loud noise that was the gantry falling!
+Don't worry about it :)
