Hugo411,
If that is PLA then the temp should be more like 185
Good luck

Korzy,
The Mendel stl files can also be found on thingiverse I think.
I'm not sure if they are for the new colour Mendel though.

Sim,
I also have a RepRapPro Mendel and have been printing for a few months now.
I am using 1.75 mm PLA, with a .5 mm nozzle, the first thing I would say is reduce the hotend temp to 185.
Addressing your questions in order, I would suggest
1. Increase the extruder feed rate, mine is usually around 880( M92 E880 ) experiment, if the extruder
sounds like it is straining set it a little lower
2. If

Those are fantastic Steve, 400 layers in 20mm, how many days does that take to print ?
I wish you all the best with your improvements , I guess the finer one tries to go the more complex the settings get.
Good luck and thanks for the help

Hello all,
I have a Mendel printer and am willing to print parts.
I am new to 3d printing but producing good quality and
will not charge unless you are happy.
Any enquiries welcome

Hey Steve,
Many thanks for your advice, both your posts contained massively helpful info,
I am slowly getting my head around the settings, after taking your advice I reduced
the above settings to match my .5 nozzle and with a big decrease in extruder feed rate,
I achieved great prints.
The only drawback is the increased print time, but with your .25 nozzle and your settings,
you must be able to

Thanks Steve,
Bit of a noob here, is extrusion width called something else in skeinforge ?
I have .5 nozzle with . 3 layer height and get quite nice .5 mm walls ?
My prints are improving and now quite functional, but I would like to pretty them up a bit
Appreciate any help
Many thanks

Printing
Hello all,
I have been messing around with settings in skeinforge and improving my print quality,
However, I can't seem to get the quality the same as the parts that came in my kit, a Mendel
There seem to be little missing gaps at the beginning of each layer, and as per the photos, not perfect fill
Can anyone recognise what I have got wrong
Many thanks in advance

Polygonhell, I think you have hit the nail on the head.
I decided to start from scratch with installing pronterface skein forge etc
It seems that I missed something in the setting up.
Now all reloaded I have tried a file and the E is now 4512.716 mm of filament will be used
Breakthrough!
Will have to wait until the morning to start printing
Many thanks for your input
All the best

Hi Franklin,
Many thanks for your reply
Hot end 205
Extruder works perfectly by hand and also G1 E5 F200 command, no jams
When I load a .stl or gcode file the report states that 0mm of filament will be used.
Thanks again

Printing
Hello all, have just completed my Mendel , and all tests are positive.
When I load a file to print, all the layer calculations are done but the filament used is 0mm
Press print and the axis move but no plastic is extruded
After a week or so of building to get this far, I would really appreciate help with this problem
Something I am missing ?
Many thanks in advance
