humm, did, but the slice says 7:40 elapsed time, 32g of plastic at 10.62 meters used. Why the diff? Shut down cura, re-run, and load as project. gets the times etc you quote, major diff is skirt, not raft. Will give it a run when this one is done. Might raise build plate half a turn each knob, first layer looks like round stuff, no smear against the plate at all but but it did stick except for the first 3/4" run of plastic laid. Thanks. Thats the pissy switch on z for auto-home. It and the y switch need better, far more consistent versions. Or maybe more exercise. IDK other than its randomness is too large. I may, before I start another run, bring in a .0001 dial and do some playing just for S & G. Surprise, its no worse than about 3 thou. Lowered the switch another 40 thou to put some more tension of the leveling springs, then found a page from a grizzly flyer than came today was obviously thinner than my 22lb letter paper. Reset nozzle clearance to just touch on that thinner paper, and now have the card plugged in here where I have to sudo to copy anything to it. Then the FIXED is off screen so I had to bring card back in and nuke the unfixed file. Then it took 4 starts to get close enough for adhesion, again I can see a faint polished line on the table from the nozzle when its close enough to stick well. Then I think I can see a slight hint of over-extrusion, its outputting a tiny drop at the start of a new line it traveled to get to. The problem with that is that it doesn't know it's there and knocks that line of plastic loose by hitting it on the next pass. I've turned up the extruder drive about 3% in the machines own settings, so I'll turn that back down .25% or so for every time I have to restart because it knocked it loose. Or do I need to increase the retract distance? IDK which is the better fix? Your version s/b done in another hour. I see the flange on mine is warped upwards to a nearly vertical line, potentially hard on the belt edge, despite my leaving a mm of flange diameter hub as reinforcement below the flange, so that idea didn't fly well. 1mm is too thin? Looks like you removed it, I see no sign of it in the build. Thanks Chris, with a lot of help, its coming around.
