Hi
I use a glue stick like UHU Glue to lightly coat the build tray. Let it dry before printing. This allows easily removal of prints.
You only have to do this once per tray.
Hope this helps.

Hi repetier,
Yes I have told host I have 2 extruders & selected 2 filament profiles.
I will post to Slic3r forum as suggested.
Thank you for your help.

Yes, Slic3r creates the wrong code unless I am missing something obvious.
I checked and settings are as set.
I can manually edit generated code and it will run correctly, just cant get Slic3r to do it.

I have two Extruders connected & working in manual mode.
The problem is that the G-Code produced by Slic3r isn't working when Extruder 2 is selected.
Extruder 2 is selected for Perimeter, Infil & Support material extruder in Extruder #2 generated code.
The code selects T0 instead of T1 for extruder two.
It should use T0 for Extruder #1 and T1 for Extruder #2. These codes are used when sel

I have been adjusting EXT0_STEPS_PER_MM in Config file to cal filament extruded.
Is this correct?
// for skeinforge 40 and later, steps to pull the plasic 1 mm inside the extruder, not out. Overridden if EEPROM activated.
//#define EXT0_STEPS_PER_MM 352.5

I must be blind as i can't seem to find where to change /cal the filament feed rate.
Where is this done in Repetier software?
Help appreciated.

I have ordered a VIKI display module so I believe this will be the best solution for me.
Thanks again for the help.

I think the solution you suggest requires an LCD connected to the hardware.
As I don't have an LCD connected am looking for a way to achieve the same using my computer display.
Is there a way to use the Info window in Repetier-Host to do this?

Is there a way to display additional information such as end stop status, current feed rate etc while printing?
For example I can type M119 for current end stop status but I'd like to have this continuously updated & displayed while printing.
Assistance appreciated.

Hi James,
I had a play around with your previous suggestion using Repetier and have come up with the following solution that solves my problem using the CubeX reed switches.
I will however re-enable Y-Axis end stop checking while printing once my new end stops are fitted as a safety measure.
Repetiet Firmware Z-Axis Disable on print Changes as follows:
Commands.cpp
Line # 31 Define home_flag

Hi James,
I can give marlin a go. Don't go to too much trouble. I have ordered some mechanical & hall effect end stops as a back up plan.
Wish I could shout you a beer for your troubles.
Kind Regards,
Rob.

I commented out the code as suggested and found the Z-Axis homing does not work as it no longer detects the Z-axis end stop.
I've checked the Z-axis end stop activation using M119 and can see that it is detected.
It does however now allow me to travel to -Z positions.

I'm trying to use them as they are what came pre-installed on my CubeX printer.
They worked for 3D systems so I i see no reason why they wont wrk for me.

Hi James,
I found this on
'The option to disable endstop checks during normal moves only works for x and y axis. For safety reasons the z endstop is always checked. Set the pin number to -1 to disable z axis checks - on your own risk.'
This might work for me if I only new how to set the pin number as described.
Does this mean anything to you?
Thanks,
Rob.

Where do I set the pin number to -1?

I Searched the forum but could not see any discussions on disabling Z-Axis end stop except for when homing.
For now I will just unplug the Z stop sensor after homing. Not the best solution though.
I think my biggest problem is that the Z-Axis sensor trips above the actual bed zero and there is no way to easily change this.
Perhaps I should replace the reed switch with a mechanical switch set at a

Hi James,
I really struggle to understand the code but will take a closer look tonight. I will also scan the Repetier forum for mentioned thread.
Thank you all very much for your assistance.

Hi James,
I want to disable the z-axis end stop except for during homing operation as activation of the z-axis end stop prevents the printer from traveling below Z0 while printing.
Z0 position is set when homing this axis and is approximately +20mm above bed height. So print head need to move below this height to print but it cant as the end stop tripping prevents this. Hope this explanation is

Hi All,
My end stops use reed sensors. The Y-Axis sensors homing trips about +30mm above the bed. This seems a lot for a reed switch sensor but the magnets are strong.
The sensors each have two wires, normally read open circuit & read less than 1 ohm when a magnet is brought near.
I set a Z-Offset of -20 so my extruder head is just above the bed.
The problem is the Z-Axis end stop prevents
