Can you post your current config.g and a sample sliced gcode file?

Hey @Gost101, I can't think of anything that would clog a volcano, but here are the things that I'd check (in case you haven't already)

• kinked tube, obstruction in filament path

• vastly oversized filament

• burr or debris in the nozzle

• insufficient stepper current or other mechanical cold end issue

I was seeing an irregular print surface on one side, I pulled the nozzle off, used a propane torch to clean it out, and a 5/64" drill bit by hand to check the barrel for burrs and other obstructions.

[Gost101]

I have already switched over to the included nozzle and have had much better prints, and it doesn't clog. But it has a lot of stringing and prints very slow. Regardless of retraction distance and speed, plus z hop, I cannot stop stringing. It takes a normal bench on from cura at 15% infill with triangles internal support. I'm negating to mention the height and width, plus a couple of other factors because I forget what they were and my laptop is being repaired by razer. A couple of hours long print takes 12 hours to actually print.

Looking at your config from your post, some of your values are rather low... This is what I have on my Ender 3 which should be similar for you. I think you need to up your speed, accel and jerk(instantaneous speed) on your extruder.

@JamesM said in CR-10S5 Firmware: It still prints very slow.
In addition the nozzle will not retract in the helps of stopping blobs.

[Veti]

if you are using cura please post the start g code

[Gost101]

@Veti Do you mean the config code?

[Gost101]

@Veti I dont have any start code.

[Veti]

@Gost101

post the start of a g code where the print has been slow

Regardless of infill, wall thickness and layer height it prints extremely slow.

those lines must be in the start g code of your slicer. thats why the print is slow.
remove them

[Gost101]

@Veti said in CR-10S5 Firmware:It seems to be moving faster but how do I compensate for the extrusion factor? Lines are becoming to small and separating multiple times in one movement.

is your thermistor set up correctly? are your e steps set up correctly?

[Gost101]

@Veti Yes they are, just got back to my benchy test print ive been gone for almost 6 hours and cura said that it was a 3 hour print. Turns out the printer is not fast still. What should do?

[Gost101]

[Veti]

did you restart the printer after you made those changes? anytime you are printing an old file you will revert the settings and need to reboot.

[PaulHew]

FYI I think the start code Veti is referring to is in your slicer.
If it is Cura.
Settings - Printers - manage printers
Select your printer and click 'Machine Settings'

On that page at the bottom there is a window with Start G-Code

Remove the lines you have been asked to remove.

Your screen shot shows the top speed as 8.4mm/s which is basically 500mm/min. So I think you still haven't removed the limiting start gcode from cura. Follow the directions that @PaulHew has given.

Once that change is made it will only apply to newly sliced files. All your previously sliced files will have the slow limits set.

[Gost101]

@Veti I did reboot it. I did find that in cura and deleted it. lol
