I'm a little confused, maybe someone can enlighten me.
My nozzle is 0.5mm, and I have that set in slicer.
I calibrated my esteps by removing the hot end, marked the filament in 5mm segments and adjusted until I got 5mm when I said to extrude 5mm. Then printed this item: It came out nicely.
I then printed the 0.5 thinwall cube, measured the wall thickness and further adjusted the esteps until

Yes the nozzle size is set to 0.5mm, which is the correct size.

As part of my calibration I printed the 0.5mm thin wall object from here:
I tuned my esteps in Marlin such that when printed the wall was 0.51-0.53mm which I'm pleased with. It was 540 steps if that matters.
I then sliced some objects, herringbone gears so I can have replacements on hand for my extruder, but noticed that the three perimeter layers are actually three distinct layers. They ha

The lead screw and nut was a primary reason I chose this kit. Was sorely disappointed when that wasn't there.

The maker tool leadscrew is a 10mm leadscrew and the original X-ends expect a 8mm lead screw. I tried that. Also the nut is not the same size.
I need to make x-ends that will support the maker leadscrew. Their parts use bushings and not lm10uu bearings so I couldn't use them.
I did find a part from a guy on another forum, that has the x-ends that will work with 8mm x smooth rods, lm10uu bear

I'm seeing this exact same issue, but the max speed isn't being limited by my FW settings.
dbjohnson, did you get it working?
thanks

A question about VREF. In tuning the motors, I find that my x, y run a VREF around .33v, while the z requires .9v. I expected z to be larger because there are two motors, so I would need at least twice the current. Do these numbers seem OK?
At .9V I have to use a fan to cool the driver, but not much of a fan. Otherwise it gets pretty hot to the touch. The others don't seem to need any addit

I'm still in the process of building my printer, but was curious if anyone has printed a mason jar sealer? You put a mason jar lid on, place it over the lid and on a jar, hook it up to a vacuum pump and it seals the jar. Seemed like a pretty easy thing to make, but I didn't find anything on thingiverse for it. Not sure where to find a rubber seal for it, maybe that would be the hard part.
Any

Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
I superglued the M8 nuts to M10 nuts centering them the best I could. I put them all together with backlash springs and they appear to work pretty well. I do see a small amount of twisting by the M10 nut just due to the tolerance of the printed part. I may be able to slip some aluminum foil in there. Any problem with glueing the bottom nut to the printed par?
One of the reasons I bought this

A buddy suggested I take an M10 nut, superglue an M8 nut to it, and use that stacked nut, like a bushing. I could then get it printing well enough to print up a proper set of x-ends.
I was hoping to hear back from the vendor, but nothing yet.

Suggestions where I can find M10 threaded rod, turned down at the end to support an M8 coupler? Do I want 1.5 or 1.25 pitch threads, I see both available.
thanks

I'm looking for some suggestions.
I purchased the gadgets3d complete kit, then had someone print up the parts for it so I could build my first printer. My goal was to have something up and running that was a proven design, nice build manual, etc.
The kit was shipped really fast considering it came from China, and everything was packaged well, each of the different size nut, washers, bolts, etc
