Hello,

I just got my mendel printer and i have been testing it for a few days now.
I use the program pronterface to control the printer, all the moters work when i control them manual.
but when i try to print something the printhead followes the path but wont print any filement, in the commandscreen it tells me "Huh? M101" followed by a request to send one of the lines again. the motor works just fine when I manual control it and nozzle is heated to 185 C

i use 1.75mm PLA filament
is there anything i am doing wrong?
Any help or comments are appreciated.

Are you using skeinforge? If so you need Dimension turned on.

ok after some trial-and-error and a different slicer program (BfB Axon) it doesn't give me the 101 error anymore but the feed rate of the filament is ridiculous slow, dos anyone know how to turn it up in BfB Axon or in pronterface?
I tryed to turn it up in the advance tab but it dosn't make any differers

hope someone can help me out

If the extrude rate is too slow it's likely either you have the filament width set too high in the slicer settings, or flowrate set too low in the slicer or your extruder is just not calibrated correctly in the firmware.
I'm not familiar with Axon.
