I have two questions pertaining to my first successful test cube.
the first is, i presume, rather simple. I've been using repsnapper by Kulitorum rather than the regular reprap software because frankly, i find it far easier to use.
I imported a 40 mm cube stl into it, converted to G-code, and printed it. This all works well and good, except that the cube was far too tall. It reached about 60 mm's tall before using up the small spool of filament i had in it at the time. So my first question is, how do i tweak the layer thickness or what have you? because it seems this software believes my Z-steps to be smaller than they really are. I presume i can just set it to know how big a z-step is and change the number of steps based on that, and i don't have to actually reduce the thickness of said steps?
my second question is a more broad one, i eventually plan to add a heated bed to this set up, and quite likely a heated enclosure, but until then, is there any technique to reducing curling? I don't have it particularly badly, but it bothers me anyway.
