Re: Unusual stepper ratings - vref settings for new Melzi
Hi, The perimeter line around is called skirt. You can configure it in Slicer and yes, I also think it serves the purposes of pre-testing adherence and other stuff. Regarding the wiggliness, it might...

Thanks mate :) It's ABS that I've used. I was going to buy some PLA but my friend gave me a reel of ABS that he had spare so I thought I'd use that even though it's meant to be more difficult to get...

Hi thanks for the support! :) I mostly have trouble with the hotbed. In the beginning my board was a RAMPS1.4 that got the hotbed controller MOSFET fried and now I am trying with this Melzi. The...

That must be very frustrating! What temp do you have your bed set at? The thermistor for my bed gives the wrong temp readout for some reason, so when the ambient temp is 11 degrees say, the extruder...

I have it set at 100C, because of the warping that you mention, but the truth is that I was doing the temperature control manually with a switch because of the fried MOSFET of my RAMPS..8-)...

Ahh ok thanks. I have reduced it to 115 now to try. Shame about the fosfet :( Hopefully it won't happen again. Do you happen to know where the layer height is stored at all? *ignore actually - I found...
View ArticleRe: Unusual stepper ratings - vref settings for new Melzi
Hehe..no worries..is part of the painful process...:) Layer height is controlled in the Slicer. If you have Repetier it is the second menu, under the button of "configure". Then Slicer pops up and you...
