That was my impression also, so I sped up the extruder about 3% so far. > Have you configured and calibrated the printer at all? The usual piece of paper to set nozzle gap, but adhesion is very poor if its not dragging gently. Nothing for scale fine tuning which seems to be dead on. The instructions I've found and printed have largely skipped over most of the stuff I see in the menu's. Help appreciated, but ATM the place is running on Nat gas power and has been since 09:42 am, an hour and a half ago. Power return is auto with this standby setup, so I could restart another test print. Anybody have a ready made file that will test & gage everything? Seems like a huge thermal effect between hot and running vs cold when doing the auto-home, and added an "offsets apply", whatever that is after homeing. I've sped up the extruder feed, both in cura and in a menu I can't find again on the printer, so it should be getting around 115% of its starter value this time. Raised the start temps to 210 and 65, it lays one layer and drops both 10 degrees for the rest of the run Made two bird nests laying the raft, gave it a spot of hair spray. Stuck. Raised the extruder speed and read thru the rest of the help in cura, so we'll see it they know anything in about 6 hours. Or more, I also slowed it down where it claimed better rendering.
