im using 1.3.0, .....i also forgot to mention, the extra fat lines also show up when printing thin things, instead of a few passes, it now just prints one big one ( example, the barrel on a gun an army man toy holds)
i do have prusa edition of slicer, but that has its own problem of perimeters under extruding, and come out gappy and weak, despite the EXACT same settings as the standard slicer

im not sure exactly when it started, but Slic3r has been printing some of its paths too wide, but not all and i cant seam to fix it.
For example, if i say to do 5 perimeters, the inner 4 have a normal (0.4mm) width, but then the outer 5th perimeter, is as wide, or wider than all 4 of the others. this can be seen in the slic3r preview as well as the print.
another example, is when printing botto

hmmm, before i made my post i already tried it and it didnt help
BUT, after your recommendation i tried it again, but this time i matched the settings to what was in my firmware
z feed rate is currently set at 3 ( was at 12), and it is now working!!!!
thanks for the help, i guess my original changes just were not big enough to make the difference.

thanks, i tried some changes any way, but its cant be the firmware as the problem only shows up with the Prusa edition of slic3r, not other slicers.
.. ,... this is what it was at before i made changes.
#define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE { 300, 200, 3, 25 }
#define DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION { 2700, 1500, 100, 10000 }
reduced Z feed rate from 3, to 2, to 1, no change

PROBLEM
z axis wont move with Slic3r Prusa edition. Works fine with standard Slic3r and manual moves
KEY POINTS
- manual moves work reliably
- Slic3r files print reliably
-Slicer Prusa edition, Z axis dose NOT move, only makes noise.
-Slic3r Prusa edition machine limits settings make no difference
- All other Axes work fine, including with Silent Mode
QUESTION.

thanks, but checked that.... when i tell it to extrude with the extrude button, it extrudes fine, it just dosnt work when printing..... but i cleaned it out really good any way, let it soax in aceton and disolve out everything, got it back to bare metal
i have 4 thermisters ,and they all read the same..,... ive ordered another 15 for spares(/cuz i always break the tiny wires) and to try, but im

all i do is recalibrate....... thats literally the only thing i can do......... i level out my z axis with calipers so each side is evenly raised, then i level out my 4 corners of the bed with a 0.1mm shim guage, the same size as my layer height..... ive tried smaller guages, bigger, just leting the nozel press on the bed with no space....... i tried all the bed coatings mentioned above

a while ago i posted about my last quarter of a print the layers not sticking... then it became only the first quarter would stick..... then first layers.... now nothing will stick
i have both PLA and ABS, i have tried all the standards, and lots of my own creations, different bed coattings, different temps, different shim guages when leveling, having it touch the bed..... every option and combi

i dunno how well you can see, but my wires are all tied with twist ties, cuz zip ties are one time use , and just create more plastic waste... and its also tied down to an open part part of the extruder so it dosnt bend below that point, so i know its not any kind of connection issue.... i also have a twist tie wrapped around the therm wire for similar reasons, and to create a buffer incase it t

yes, it is indeed turning an feeding fliment..... the first few layers print perfectly, and when i use the extrude button in proterface, it extrudes a nice string that begins curlin around itself if not touching the build plate.... if touching, it makes a nice sized blob
yes, i can get you some pics, but its gonna take me a bit to edit them down to fit this sites size limit and what not, might n

the noise you mention, i know what you mean now, no, the extruder has never jammed like that, but when my x or y tries to go to far on the end with no stops it makes the noise
i have not printed very many things, just a bunch of 10mm and 20 milimeter cubes, and a few other asorted parts, so i doubt anything has had time to wear out.... seams normal as far as i can tell..... but i plan on reprin

the bed is as level as it can be by hand leveling it with the bullshit nuts and bolts.... i will soon be ordering metal shim guages to replace the "reccomended" paper method...which sofar, tracing paper has given the best results... also, ii plan on printing a auto bed level kit, if i can ever print again....... i dont know why auto bed leveling isnt standard as part of the kit... it should be...

i already did shit tonse of test cubes, which i measred with calipers, and were perfect..... this problem came after multiple sucessful prints of lots of cubes, and the first few parts of my project

yes, filiment is 3mm and so is my settings.... whenni first got the filiment i measured it with calipers, and it was exactly 3mm,....i agree though, it seams to be under extruded, but why?

yes, nozel is clean, i checked it after unclogging, and before each print, i hit extrude in pronterface and it will push out plenty of filiment with ease. and yes the fan is on all the time, both my extruder fan, and the in blowing on the ramps board are both connected directly to the power supply so nothing can ever overheat ( and so i still have room for a second extruder once i get the money f

yes, i am 100% sure my pots are set right, i fallowed multiple calibration guieds... and as i type this it is "printing" ( gappy blobs) but none of the hear sinks are even slightly warm.... i also have a extra fan i added to make sure they stay that way.... plus, it already printed other objects just fine before this, nothing changed...... here is what this print looks like.

after a billion years( thats an exact number) and countless test cubes, of trying to get my printer working, i thought i has succeeded, i started my first project. i printed 3 parts just fine ( in PLA).. the 4th kept jamming the filiment after about 2 hours of printing, due to over heating ( all metal e3d V6)... ever sense i uncloged it, nothing will print properly.... the first layer i can get
