Started in test cube moved due to hijacking (sorry)
I did a filament calibration without the hot end in place
100mm is fed into the extruder so that part I feel is right
However started to do my very first print (the test cube) and the first 4 - 5 layers were a complete mess
Plus I am under the impression, the head moves to home and the filament is supposed to come out and leave a thin line from home to the object
I get nothing, layers 1 and 2 printed nothing 3 - 5 were globs and a huge mess
It has "ring" around the object in the gcode The printer moves to print , but nothing appears
Is this right is something wrong ??
What settings do I check
Here are the first few lines of the geode file
echo:Maximum feedrates (mm/s):
echo: M203 X500.00 Y500.00 Z450.00 E45.00
echo:Maximum Acceleration (mm/s2):
echo: M201 X2000 Y2000 Z60 E2000
echo:Acceleration: S=acceleration, T=retract acceleration
echo: M204 S2000.00 T2000.00

It sounds like you are loosing a lot of plastic from the hot end as it warms up, and the skirt around your object isn't enough to prime your hot end fully.
Try increasing the Minimum extrusion length to something like 10 (or more if necessary) and see if that helps.

No problem. Post back here if you have other problems that you can't solve by searching. A good way to search the forums here is to use Google, and include "site:forums.reprap.org" (without the quotes) as part of your search term.
