Print Quality Help

Hello, I haven't been using my M2 very much lately but tried a couple prints today in advance of "showing it off" to someone looking to make a purchase for a local school.

First Layer

I have been busy lately and haven't had much time to use my M2. My son wanted a couple things printed so I printed them for him and noticed a couple of things weren't quite a nice as they were previously. I noticed that the surface of what is being printed isnt as smooth and uniform as it was. This ...

I have noticed that the Build Time that Simplify3D gives after the stl is sliced is way off. The latest example is a model I just printed. The software estimated the time at 6 hours, it has been over 8 and it is still printing with 10 percent to go. Is there anything I can do about the estimate or i...

Dragging - Tracks

I am trying to work through an issue I am having with some prints. The nozzle is continuing to feed a small amount of filament when the head moves from and end point to a start point. I have tried fixing this using help I received from a previous post. It still remains and seems to have gotten worse...

Thanks
