All,
Setup
Sftwr: Mac Pronterface,Slic3r,
Hardware: MM1.5+, Heated bed. Geetech 3mmx3mm Jhead,
Material: pla
Having tried my first print. Also having Zero'd the tip. using the paper route.
Once my print starts. it looks to me like several things may be off.
1: the extruder is pushing out more plastic than can be pushed out.
(my rational is. on the hot end. only a small line of plastic is coming out. Also if left to run like this for
say 5-20 seconds. the hobbed end ends up chewing thru the incoming pla.)
So could it be that my hotend is clogged?
I did not verify the tip was a 3mm But I will.
Also, when the print first starts. and the bead/fence is being printed all the way around the part. should the Z motors bee free
to manually adjust by hand? (for me they are not)
