M906 X800 Y800 Z800 E800 I50 ; set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent

Do you have your Z motors in series? Connected to both Z connectors?

[RyanP]

@shatty

No, they are separate with one being run off E1.

This allows me to run a G32 command to do a left to right adjustment during my bed compensation macro.

@RyanP
Can you send me your filament files?

@shatty

From where, my slicer?

Do i have to auto tune again?

no

[shatty]

@RyanP What are you using for a slicer? I thought they are universal across all slicers. Im using Creality's

[shatty]

2nd print at 200c. Little better. What should I do next? Drop it more? Im not going to be using PLA. I am just using the sample that came with the printer. I have black PETG. Should I put that in and continue from there?

[Veti]

that is already looking good. maybe a bit overextrusion or it could be bad quality filament.
try reducing the flow by 10%

petg printing is a bit more difficult compared to pla. its not as forgiving.

[shatty]

I compared it to the first print and it actually looks alot better. The layers are more uniformed and color also. I think have it set at 135 for extrusion. I will drop it down to 130.

is that your esteps or percent of flow?

[shatty]

That is esteps

[Veti]

pla does not like to be overextruded, but underextrusion is ok.

so try 125 if 130 is the default for your extruder.

[shatty]

PETG @ 230 C. Its the best print yet!. There was a little sting inside the cabin. Thats it! Maybe drop it 5 deg?

[shatty]

If u see stuff on the side of the hull, thats cat hair. The cat loves going near the stupid printer

[Veti]

you might want to get some plexiglas covers for the side so your cat does not get near it.
