@dougal1957 Stock 20 tooth pulleys.

Have you double checked them as your symptoms suggest that yours are slightly different to that.
-
@dougal1957 I have not. Assumed they were what was listed on the printer specs. You think they are 16's?

that is what I would think maybe what you could do is mark one tooth with a sharp and then count them.
-
@the_gibson I think that your steps/mm are right for x/y/z. If they were wrong you'd get a calibrated height that was well off of 530 because the calibration also calibrates how high it can go. Also, mine was running back in its stock days with the same value.
Is your first layer actually a little too close? You could print a cube and see if you have "elephant foot" at the bottom indicating it is too close.
If not, are you extruder steps/mm correct and have you calibrated the flow rate? Dragging could also be over extrusion.
-
@dougal1957 Definitely 20's.
-
@crpalmer I am leaning toward overextrusion now as well.
-
@crpalmer I have reduce the extruder steps all the way down to 160... still happening...
Starting to rule out overextrusion.

@the_gibson Your original config of the steps:
M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16 I1 ; configure microstepping with interpolation
M92 X80.00 Y80.00 Z80.00 E403.00 ; set steps per mm'is probably better than what you have now. I think interpolation only works at 16 steps/mm which was a mistake in my old config.
Did you ever print a small cube to see what it looked like?

printing one now... this is going to be funny.
-
ok, I'm dumb... z-offset in the slicer was the culprit.
now mostly printing... have some tuning to do... but working.
-
@crpalmer @Dougal1957 @T3P3Tony
Turned out to be a Z-offset in my slicer I dismissed because I needed it before.
All is working as it should now.
Thank you for your help, and the debugging assist!
