Sliding glass is one idea. Another might be a stepper shaft that is slipping inside its pulley. Too-low and too-high driver board trimpot settings are practically cliche, but that doesn't look like the problem you have.]]> Karmavore General Sat, 08 Feb 2014 17:07:18 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,308156,308220#msg-308220 Re: Help Identifying Print Issue https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,308156,308220#msg-308220 brnrd General Sat, 08 Feb 2014 15:45:35 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,308156,308156#msg-308156 Help Identifying Print Issue https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,308156,308156#msg-308156

I'm having issues with the walls of my prints. I've leveled the bed to the best of my ability, tried all different bed temperatures and yet I still cannot get a perpendicular wall. I assume this is because of shinkage, or maybe my Z motors aren't stepping the same? I am printing on a MendelMax in a warm room away from any ductwork, using Slic3r and Pronterface. My best settings so far are:

Layer Height: 0.15mm
Bed Temp: 185-180 C
Exturder Temp: 80-70 C
All Perimeters: 20 mm/s
Infill: 90 mm/s
Solid Infill: 60 mm/s
Top Solid Infill 50 mm/s
Support material: 60 mm/s
Brisges: 90 mm/s
Gap Fill : 20 mm/s

Please help it's driving me nuts!!!

Thanks.
