I use a paper to set (BQ iprusa3, printhead 0.4mm) to bed, about 0.2mm So the first layer should be around 0.2mm high,, Is that the value i input in Cure software (1 layer) or is this calculate in the program? Second, the press also means that 1 layer is abit wide ie a square 20x20 will have a 20,4 in layer 1 and rest layers up is fine around 20,15... How to remove 1 layer extra wide course bby TommyF - Prusa i3 and variants

Helloooo Have play wht my BQ pruse I3 only from SDcard, now i want to use/conect via my Labtop, my dealer say i should use FTFI driver When i do that,,,do one have to set all up in the PC software og cn one copy/use the info from the board? Is there something i need to do BEFORE i tryed ths out :-)by TommyF - General Mendel Topics
Ty,, yes,, gotta go'on i try PC connection next and do some prober calibrations..by TommyF - Printing
Hope i am i the right sub-forum. I still new anf havend done any REAL calibration of my Pruse I3 other then bed leveling... Yesterday i will try a square or a part of it, ie 2 side,, i design it as 12.5mm high and whit 0.4mm side,, but it come out as show on the drawning.. Any idea if ie the extruder giving to much output, i allso wonder about Y side is 0,1mm thitker then X side?? Stranges sby TommyF - Printing
IAM back,, now it is much better,,, must have being settings in Cura,, there is still a tiny bit off PLA pushup every 45min the laying the layer, so i guess i have to reduce extruder by 1% at se what happens, becurse the lines are perfect or close too it, so buildup PLA must be a tiny tiny to much extruder speed.. Sadly the print was stop'ed when i cheked it while making diner,, seams the powerby TommyF - 3D Design tools
Wow,,, didend know i could D click on plugins and get options, thx..... learning every day...by TommyF - General Mendel Topics
Thx for answer, no, too new, newer connectet PC yet, only use SD card too print,, BUT other prints dosent have this problem, i being messing around in Cura, pehaps i did something wrong, i have install a new copy and printet a homemade object, the Raft work perfect, ie one pull and all the Raft come off, nice,,, so tomorrow i try again, i am sure i messed something up in Cura Thx for you time,by TommyF - 3D Design tools
Offcourse Here is an STL file... File Tommyby TommyF - 3D Design tools
Thx,, i am a techworker at work,, my axels is near perfect, whitin 0.03mm, bed level the same. The buste print have a bevel stand, and the weight and fast shift did make the buste woble hust enughf too catch the nozle. I guess, i should have made some kind off support beside the raft.. My cube print was 20,31 allmost on every side. Whit Raft i have no problem whit print normal, only this heavyby TommyF - General Mendel Topics
Made a HD cover, but every time the print goes bad in botton layer, not the Raft, but the actual object layer... It most be the file since i can print other object fine, it has being trough NetFab... but whit same error print. Here is 123D file File So if anyone can find the error or why i get this printing error would be niceby TommyF - 3D Design tools
Well, i heated up to 220, let it stand for 20min and cut the PLA like a pen point, then i just barely got it trugh the extruder and now it runs again..by TommyF - General Mendel Topics

Have you tryed print, is it nessesery to calibrate it more? mine worked fine out of box, but offcourse the electric finetuning could pehaps don a even better job..by TommyF - General Mendel Topics
Hello, have a fine Prusa I3, found some miner minus whit it, but overall a very good machine. But trying to print the Bust Lady from tinguniverse around 60% up the print it'ts startet to wooble a little and hence since i using 0,2mm the extruder hit the print, the statuette has a rounded seat and therefor not stabel,, THE print wasent lose, the tape worken fine, but the fast chance in directionby TommyF - General Mendel Topics
