Using either the discount LCD or full graphics, the knob adjusts something labelled as FR on the main screen. What is that?

Thank you
Ian

Feed rate. It us a multiplier that is applied to the printing speed. Check out the M220 command.

It takes a few seconds for it to start because of the buffering that is going on

Interesting thank you smiling smiley

I'm doing my FIRST EVER print as we speak, so I've just turned the feed rate up to 106% to see if it changes anything smiling smiley

My first print is going... I'll stick at "is going". I'm slightly amazed it is printing something, but it looks a bit wibbly at the moment. I will still love it and cherish it like any other first born though.
