Re: Basic e-steps configuration issue
Is it worth getting a bowden extruder instead of the direct drive that is standard with the HIC i3?

Re: Basic e-steps configuration issue
First extrude at the temperature and speed that you need to calibrate. This will set a basic starting point. Also add a 10% from the math value for 2.85mm or a 5.5% for 1.75mm Why? Pressure + distance = spring Next extrusion test also, marlin has a bug (never fixed afaik) that as soon you change es...

Re: Basic e-steps configuration issue
Are you extruding to fast and getting slippage? I don't believe so. But perhaps I don't have the settings right. I use Curo to put my print jobs on SD cards... But I'm using pronterface to run the calibration tests. So perhaps I don't have the settings right. I'm a newb at this, so I'm not really e...

Re: HIC i3 - current firmware development information
Thanks m00se! I appreciate it. Chip Luck - Can you point me to the latest version of the firmware you are using? If it makes any difference, I'm using the 3DP-03. I see links from you to various versions all throughout this forum, but I'm not quite sure that I've got the latest and greatest. :) Than...

Basic e-steps configuration issue
I'm at a loss... print quality hasn't really been "bad" but it's a bit stringy, etc. so I'm running through calibrations. The starting point, as I see it, is calibrating feed rate. So I put a mark at 120 mm, and then use pronterface to extrude 100 mm of PLA material with the nozzle at 185 ...

Re: HIC i3 - current firmware development information
Thanks! I'd love to take a look at your configuration.h file if you don't mind. I'm using the acrylic Hictop I3. I'm not really sure if that matters.
Cheers,
Rob

Re: HIC i3 - current firmware development information
Just purchased the HICTOP Prusa i3 with Auto-leveling and I'm new to 3D Printers. I'm planning to add a dual extruder, but would like to keep the auto-leveling. Also, to start when assembling the HIC i3 make sure you: 1) use at least 12AWG wire between your power supply and the control board (you s...
