Accuracy issue
April 20, 2014 02:13PM
Hello all, long time follower, first post.
I have created an i3 modeled printer with a 12"x12" printbed. All works great with one exception. I create models in autoCAD units in mm, I use Repetier units set in mm. I created something that needs close tolerances a couple days ago and noted pieces were not exact. So I created a 20mm cube with 1mm walls. Off the bed I pulled a 19.89mm cube with 1.13mm walls.
Setup: ramps 1.4, Repetier, slic3r, E3d hotend, .4 nozzle.
I need my resolution tighter, any knowledgable peeps out there that may be able to help?



Thanks,
B

You are probably extruding to much material. Check your nozzle size, calibrate your extruded and if that does not work, play with the filament multiplier setting in your slicing program.
