For any of u that have been following some of my threads and issues I've been having with my prints last night I stumbled upon a thread that talked about measuring actual travel based on jogging each axis 100 mm where I take 100mm/(actual travel)*number in float value and enter result in ramps and repeat until I get actual 100mm travel when I jog 100mm.
I did this for my x, y, z and worked out great. I then found a generic value for the gear set I'm using and my print turned out great.
My question is on the z axis I've seen a different method that takes into the account the thread pitch in a formula to give u a correct value but I used the other method above and this seemed more accurate to me. Considering 100mm of travel is about Max my machine can print at anyway.
I did a test print at 0.2m per layer and the print was almost flawless. Printed with abs at 210 I wanted to ask is it normal to hear like a hissing noise coming from extruder?
Also is there a function I can type in pronterface that will give me current x value so I can set travel limits without having to guess?
Also I was told I could write directly to my firmware from pronterfacs using m functions and save without having to open up arduino?
Thanks so much for your guys help
