Re: Retract problem

It took me a while to figure this out. I did not have the same fff from last night, and my print worked when I re-sliced it today, but I remembered I was trying the ARC detection with radial arc compensation turned on last night. When I changed that parameter, the problem reappeared. Here is a quick...

Retract problem

I'm having an odd problem with retracts. I am using a Mendel Max 2. I have not had this problem with some other print, but I have only used creator for some simpler prints. I have attached the gcode. Early in the print the files will print some circles. It then tried to perform a retract to move the...

Re: Printing Speed questions

It somewhat does describe it. I lowered the outline speed, because I misread it, The 15 second layer makes sense later in the print. However I have an object that has a lot of the same properties that I created from scratch that hums right along with these settings. With this new information, let me...

Re: Printing Speed questions

here is the factory file. Whatever my problem is is specific to this file. I created a simple shape by hand in sketchup and it printed fine, so I went through the objects from last night and found the one with the problem. It's weird, it chugs through the arcs, but the bottom layer does not look rig...

Re: Printing Speed questions

I can do that. This is 5 small objects all added to the same table. Will the save factory give you all 5, or should I do this with just 1 object and try it on the printer to verify the error is still there?

I will not be able to do it until this evening.

Re: Printing Speed questions

I opened the Gcode file, and this is the only reference I can find to the G2/G3 reference ; arcReplaceG2G3,1 It was in the setting section, so I'm assuming that is just a reference comment. I'm assuming I would see "G2 " or "G3 " if the code was used, but I don't know the syntax ...

Re: Printing Speed questions

It's already disabled(unchecked), however(even though it is grayed out) the radio button is on the replace with G2/G3 commands.

Printing Speed questions

Hi I'm Just starting to use the software, and everything seems to be looking good, except when my printer starts to print circles, like bolt holes or posts. Straight lines and in-fills, the print speed is like normal, but when the printer needs to print anything curved it slows down to a crawl, very...
