I also might have issue with extruder part. I used only one screw with spring and filament pushed to the side and broke small piece of plastic that was guiding filament. It's probably not a big deal, but I wanted to ask, do you guys tighten extruder screws as tight as possible or it doesn't matter?

Thanks! Yeah I was talking about idler. I added second screw and cut it so it doesn't push out motor.Quote

Don´t use only one screw, because pressure on the filament is bad. Also don´t tighten iddler screws too much, because they will push motor on other side (they can go through). Bratan if you ask about tightening extruder screws (4 screws that hold X carriage and extruder) they must be tight, if not, your prints will not be good.

I used all default settings for speed.Quote

What acceleration did you set? IMHO too fast movement, or too slow extrusion

What spool holder are you printing? I was thinking about this one [www.thingiverse.com] or this style [www.thingiverse.com]

It's measuring intake filament not outtakeQuote
gadget_greg
@Bratan yes, that is very strange! When I set PronterFace to extrude, say 5mm, I get a superfine filament that curls all around and must be more like 20mm. It's really weird.
Wow, dude that's exactly what I was looking for! My spools opening is about 38.5mm and I was trying to adapt 30mm model I found on Thingivers.Quote
gadget_greg
Anyway, I just made one of these. It took a little dremelling to get the bearing to fit but it works nicely. I'm printing the second one now... [www.shapedo.com]

It's measuring intake filament not outtakeIf you mark 5mm of filament (i.e. from top of the extruder) and extrude 5mm, filament should move exactly 5mm (i.e. your market will be at the level with top of the extruder). Do not measure what actually comes out...
BTW are there any advantages of using 1.5mm filament vs 3mm? I think thinner should be easier to thread, 3mm is just so inflexible...

Are you going to make something to attach it to the Prusa's frame?
Question to all: How did you wire your extruder cooler fan? I soldered it directly to Ramps aux board (as instructed) but now I'm having second thoughts. Has anyone connected it to the fan terminals (near heatbed terminals)?

LOL, yeah I can imagineQuote

I was wondering if that's where you measure it. I tried 100mm and I got a bird's nest! lol

Do you wipe glass or respray after each print? What about ABS, would harispray work for it too?Quote
gadget_greg
I've been spraying the glass with a light coat of Aquanet Super Extra Hold @ 60°C and I have had great adhesion. I'll do the extrusion calibration tonight when I get home, thanks for the tip! The last one graduates High School tonight...

Any idea of what kind of lubricant to use on the rails by the way?

Man, i can see 1 issue I'm going to have. I'm used to industry standard gcode, I can see quite a few that don't look like they do the same functions as they would on machine tools.
