I don't know still learning all this stuff but 50 seemed to work just fine using a Wades extruder and Gen6 electronicsby NelsonRap - Skeinforge
Upped the retraction speed to 50 and that fixed it fine. Thanksby NelsonRap - Skeinforge
Just installed it on another computer and looking through the settings I cannot see any difference between 40 and 41 at this pointby NelsonRap - Skeinforge
OK I have a picture of the blob on the corner now have set the retraction settings but they are set quite small at the moment. Unfortunately I'm using clear PLA so it doesn't show up that wellby NelsonRap - Skeinforge
Hmm I copied it from a forum so good spotting I changed it and now it works talk about senior moment time for one of theseby NelsonRap - Skeinforge
I have the following start code and end code set and for some reason they always cause an error when trying to convert an .stl to Gcode start G21 G90 G92 X0 Y0 Z0 E0 end G91 G1 F70 G1 Z7 F70 G1 F2300 G1 X-100 F2300 G90 M104 SO Can anyone shed any light on the I'm using SF40 Thanksby NelsonRap - Skeinforge
Will give it a go, thanks for all the feedback I feel I'm getting somewhere nowby NelsonRap - Skeinforge
Printing is getting much better now, have lost the blob at the start of each new layer, just have slight bulging of the sides of my cube now. I guess this is too much infill. I am not getting any feed on the first layer now though since setting the Restart extra distance to -0.2. I would also like to tell the extruder to raise on the Z axis at the end of a print, I'm guessing I need to put someby NelsonRap - Skeinforge

I'm getting the same as AgeingHippy a glob at the start of each new layer. I tried upping the retraction and it made no difference. Any ideas out there?by NelsonRap - Skeinforge
Well, have finished calibrating my Mendel and hope to do my first print todayby NelsonRap - New Zealand RepRap User Group
I have discovered that my extruder seems to be running in reverse. Is there a setting in Skienforge40 to make it run the other way? Or if not which wires would I need to change. Its a mendel parts kit with their stepper motors. I have asked on their forum as well to see who can help meby NelsonRap - Reprappers
This might be a good place for you mendel forum I have been getting heaps of advice from hereby NelsonRap - Reprappers
Anyone in the top of the South Island have any success printing with a Mendel and Repsnapper software (Arduino doesn't work with Gen 6 electronics)? Just running up my Mendel and can't get successful prints they start off fine then go to pieces halfway through. Any help gratefully appreciated Garyby NelsonRap - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Finally got my kit and am franticly building it up, hope to have it up and running by the end of next week, although will still need to calibrate and make some test pieces to make sure everything is working properly.by NelsonRap - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Just ordered a Mendel from Mendel-parts as don't have the inclination at this stage to build from scratch. Should see it by end of Jan I would hopeby NelsonRap - New Zealand RepRap User Group
I saw that too pity as I was all ready to order one. The Botmill price is too expensive for me to considerby NelsonRap - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Yes it does thanks. A complete Mendel from Mendel-Parts comes in around $1350NZ with shipping as opposed to Botmill where its almost $2000NZby NelsonRap - New Zealand RepRap User Group
I guess not with 20 views and no repliesby NelsonRap - New Zealand RepRap User Group
I'm looking at putting a Mendel together sometime soon either from Botmill or Mendel parts however neither seem to want to answer their emails at the moment just trying to find out shipping costs. Has anyone imported from either of these and know what the import tax would be?by NelsonRap - New Zealand RepRap User Group
