okay. > I think that if your printer can print at 100% then it is probably > under-extruding.

In this example, the base hub seems fairly solid, I don't have a tool capable of cutting the nut pocket clear as it has a thin film of adhesion layer across the opening that will need cut away before a nut can be inserted. it stuck real well, and didn't even start to come loose until the bed was down to 30C. Then it came off clean And the sprocket section still looks like a 50% fill. Tooth finish is very rough. Nothing like the OD and both faces of the hub. I resaved the sprocket so I have a good starting point for the next run. This one might be usable, but I'd like to see a better finish on the sprockets teeth. I can visualize a pile of rubber debris from the XL belt on the table below this one. But before the next run, reset the z home about 3 or 4 mm lower, the hand wheels to level the bed are so high they out of spring. And find some washers for the spool holder, the screws are bottoming in the channel and leaving the holder loose so it can tilt 10 degrees either way. And the edge of the bed and the psu are touching & dragging on the Y axis some. I am wondering it theres a small diff in the lengths of the pre-assembled Y and bed "H" cross pieces and its been assembled with them swapped. Theres a good 1/2" of clearance between the left edge of the bed and the left leg. Stranger things have happened. ;-) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
