Be careful with what you are adjusting. A 0.4nozle extruding at 0.77 shows way over extrusion. You don't directly fix that with extrusion width.
Those familiar with the software need to step in here because I am still confused by the extrusion width.
Check the filament size, extruder calibration and any extrusion multiplier settings first.
I'll check into over extrusion, but aside

My nozzle is .4mm. I printed a hollow square with .4mm walls and my printed walls are .77mm. Pretty sure that's my problem. Does anyone know how to set extrusion width in Simplify3D?

Just buy some drill bits and drill them out.
I like having the holes come out smaller because I can drill them out to the correct size, get a good finish and know they are the correct fit.
Its much easier to fix an undersized hole then an oversize hole
I'm fine with drilling them out, but its not just round holes. It's any shape. Makes for a lot of filing to get parts to fit.

Holes allways come out smaller than what you specify,due to shrinkage of the plastic and the fact that
holes are made up of many straight lines rather than pure arcs.
There is a forular to calculate the needed diamater as follows
They suggested that where X mm was the required diameter of the hole then Y mm was the dimension needed to achieve it and that:
a) for vertical holes Y =

Hi everyone. I'm really stumped by this and am desperate for help. Every hole in every print is .5mm too small. It doesn't matter what axis the holes are on. It doesn't matter what shape the holes are. If I try to print a part with 8mm holes for smooth rods, the holes are 7.5mm. This happens in Repetier host using Slic3R and Cura and also in Simplify3D. I have tried 2 and 3 outside shells. I have

Wires and connections are good. Swapped driver. No luck. I'm pretty sure it's not a motor/torque issue because the motor continues to turn. It's just grinding the filament when it clicks. Last night I removed the Teflon tubing. Still grinding. I can push filament thru by hand just fine. I have attached a video. Be sure to have the sound on.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work either. I'm really baffled by this. Any other suggestions?

Hi everyone. I have a QUBD TwoUp with several modifications. All of a sudden it decided not to feed correctly anymore. It has started skipping and grinding while feeding. I didn't make any changes to cause this. To try to solve it, I have adjusted the tension on the idler, adjusted the current in the motor, cleaned the drive gear and turned up the temp. I've also taken the hot end apart completel
