CR-10S5 Firmware

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

Gost101

@Phaedrux @PaulHew @Veti Great confusion this printer has caused me, yet more to learn I must. Sorry I have been watching to much star wars. lol.
