Well, I have been having problems with intermittent extrusion and thought my extruder needed to be cleaned. I took it apart and all seemed to go fine. I put it back together and it started printing normally. Just went I thought my problems were gone I noticed a couple of things (1) The fan on the ex...

The problem has returned. I can extrude as much as I want before the print starts but it will just stop during the print. I rechecked the z stop and bed level and it is just right. I think the tension is Ok. It is just hand tight and doesnt make marks that are too deep. How far should the "bite" be ...

The calibration thread you referenced was simple but genius. I ran it a few times until I got things dialed in. My measurements are very close to the examples given. I am going to print something but expect my issues will be gone or greatly minimized. Thanks for all of your help. I will report back ...

Ok, I will try and adjust it, something I haven't had to do yet. The ridge around the perimeter is pretty consistent for items printed in various locations on the plate so I am confident it is pretty close to being level. The first layer width is set to 100%. The extrusion multiplier is currently .9...

Readjusting the height did the trick! I first tried another print and manually adjusted the height weith the knob, something I never tried before. It must have been luck but I ended up letting the print finish and it ended up solving another problem I was having. Once the print was complete I noted ...

I will check thew bed height again. What do you suggest to set it at? I have a feeler guage to do it with. Do you set it with the bed hot?

Thanks

I am looking for some help for a problem I just started having. When I go to print and everything heats up I can manually extrude a nice steady flow of filament. The print begins and seems ok. The initial extrusion happens outside of the plate and is wiped. The problem is it doesn't seem to want to ...

My son wants to do a project together he has seen on thinigiverse. I am trying to plan how best to print it and am looking for some input. I plan on using PLA but was curious what orientation a "pro" would print the various parts to get the best looking outcome. The item can be found at; http://www....

I tried another print and the extrusion slowed down just after the first layer again. As the print continued the extrusion basically stopped for almost 1/2 of the layer and then started again and hasn't stopped since. It seems like the transition from the slow speed of the 1st layer (40%) to full sp...

Yes, photos of the model with the issues you're trying to fix would be helpful. Your settings seem fine, and if you've printed with them before without issue, I wouldn't look there first. You've already preempted the first two common suggestions, though, by saying you've checked your bed height and...
