I want to revive my mendel90 dibond with a hot end upgrade - I want to use 1.75mm filament. What's the best way to go about it in 2021? Is e3d v6 the way to go?

Thanks for the help. Could you clarify how to properly calibrate "filament width close to nozzle width"? Right now, I'm assuming filament width was "Carve/Edge Width over Height" times layer height. Since I am printing with a layer height of 0.2mm, I should be using an Edge Width over Height ratio of 2.0, to get a filament width of 0.4mm, the same as the nozzle size?
I've continued with the thin

So I've been trying to calibrate my Mendel90 to print properly sized parts. Maybe some of you out there who have gone through this process with their Mendel90 and Skeinforge can chime in what they've learned.
My main issue is that "inner dimensions", like holes, come out too small. I've followed this thin wall test, but that didn't seem to solve the problem - the settings for printing the thin w

Your flow rate is too high. It looks like it's over extruding, too many steps per mm in the extruder calibration.
Thanks for the tip. The feed rate and flow rate setting were both 50, so I tried lowering the flow rate setting to 46, but it made the problem worse - I got 1mm thick walls on the 0.4mm thin wall object.
Should I actually be changing the E-steps-per-mm? The manual for t

Hello, I'm doing the 0.4mm thin wall calibration. It looks OK, except at the corner at which the extruder retracts, goes up a layer, then extrudes again. It seems like it extrudes excessively at this location:
I'm using Skeinforge. What setting do I have to adjust? Thanks!

What 3mm PLA are you all using? I'm looking for a supplier in the USA with good quality filament, like the faberdashery sample included in the kit. I've tried another brand, but it doesn't stick to the glass bed at all. Looking to see if there's any other high quality options out there, thanks!

Hi all, I have a mendel90 and I just switched to a new filament. Before, I was printing with 3mm faberdashery green filament, and that worked fine. I just switched to 3mm grey filament from filamentdirect.com, and I can't get it to stick to the glass heated bed.
I have verified the layer thickness is still 0.2mm
I have updated the slicing firmware and the printers esteps-per-mm based on the new

Hello, I am doing the print temperature calibration, but I can't find how to set the temperature of the hot end in the Skeinforge settings.
Anything I print using the PLA0.3 profile prints with an extruder temperature of 185, but under the Temperature tab in skeinforge, the base temperature is set at 200. The "Activate Temperature" button is not checked, so maybe it is not using those settings.

How do you do a clean uninstall? More specifically, I want to reset the Slic3r settings since I messed with the defaults.
I have gone into regedit and deleted the repetier-host registery values, as well as used the uninstaller, but when I reinstall, slic3r remembers the old settings.
