Using PS_ON to control power off

Hi All, I've ordered "BIGTREETECH Relay V1.2 Module Power Monitoring Module"

Re: Mk8 extruder blocks

I see this is an old post, but the problem of clunking still exists. I used the clean out rod to align my extruder when I had the same problem, now it feed without clunking, so my problem was alignment, binding the filament.
