@Veti
When the Z's are going up and down during the mesh test, they are louder than others -
yes, z movement with a leadscrew is noisier than other movements.
-
I dunno why that corner is so off
-
@Veti Hows the bed leveling?
-
looks good, just dont printer on the borders of the bed, continue on.
-
Getting error on bed heat....saying its not rising fast enuf...1.7c a sec. I also have the bed connected to the mosfet that came with the stock setup.
-
@shatty Should I do the auto tune?
-

yes calibrate the z probe.

then do a mesh bed leveling and look at the bed. (post a picture)
then calibrate your e steps

then pid tune your bed and hotend.

@Veti
Ok so I got it to start printing benchy. I couldnt do the esteps measurement because it looks like I cant with the DD extruder I have. Anyways, its extruding too much. The nozzle is pushing the extruded filament around. So how do I cut it in half. I will play around with it till its perfect. Im using PLA that came with the printer. Printing at 220 with bed at 65. I have steel nozzle and I read that I should print 5-10 degrees hotter than normal. -

steel nozzles are very bad for pla printing.
what direct extruder have you got? -
@Veti Microswiss direct drive all metal extruder/hotend. I lowered the e-steps/mm down to 130 as recommended by Microswiss. So far so good! I will post pics of benchy when its done. Im also going to be printing carbon fiber which i picked up already. Im sure Im going to be using other materials. It came with PLA so Im using it for now

i would recommend that you get a plated Copper nozzle. it can print pla and carbon fiber as well.
-
Any prebuilt filament files I can download anywhere? I might have a brass nozzle somewhere. Im not going to use PLA after this. I have PETG as well as the CF.

@shatty
i cant view those images. can you post normal jpgs? -
It looks like it was printed too hot. So dial it back to 200 and see how it goes.

Not bad for a first print! LOL I was at 220. Where can I set my bed temps and extruder temps during printing? In the filament config.g?
