First Print.

Got my Hesine 505/Prusa i3 done the other night, ran my first pint with pretty good results.
There are some problems with material deposition in places that I need to figure out
But so far its worked pretty well for my first attempt at this.
A lot of the credit goes to the reading and setup ideas I got from here.

Do you mind posting all your print info? Things like layer height, speed, temperature, etc.

I`d put the hotend a bit higher until the M6 screw is right below the gear.

Thanks Olaf, thats the kind of info I need. I have gotten much better prints after doing a little more setup
of the bed and temps.
Layer height was .2mm
temp was 195 c
dont remember the speed.
I went back thru and measured the filament and corrected that in Cura, also checked the feed rate and had to add a few steps.
My second print came out like this.

that was .1mm layer
temp 205c
speed 45mm/s

Moved the print head feed tube further up till it almost touched the extruder drive.
in that position I lost feed. It appear to bind somewhere. I think the tube is misaligned in the
frame.
dropped it down 2 turns and that seems to fix it.

I remember, I had to add a washer on the idler and also realign the drive gear.
Make sure the M6 nut doesn´t touch the hot-end.

Got it working again but I had to drop the threaded tube down a few more turns so it wasnt so
close to the drive wheel.

The hole for the tube is drilled to far foward and when its close to the wheel it causes it to bind as it needs that
space inbetween the tube and wheel to flex .

I ordered a different extruder frame asym to see if is any difference and also will allow me to play with making a
new frame or fixing the position of the drilled hole without fear of runing it.
