ok, i will take a step back then next time i get to sit down and play with the printer and start from scratch with S3D and see what happens.

Ok. When you say copy and pasting settings shouldn't be done. I'm assuming you're referring to the .FFF settings within S3D, not the gcode settings that I just posted above. I was under the impression that the gcode could be used from one machine to another without issue.

interestingly enough there is actually a PDF file of what others have used with S3D on the lulzbot mini and ive read threads that these are good starting points. but, with that being said the above prints were done that way and they dont look so great so i will take the collective advice of the boar...

How much should I expect the settings to differ from S3D to CURA? I mean all I did was copy and paste the exact same settings that got me that nice cube in CURA into S3D and it produced that terd. I guess I'm just not understanding how that can happen.

The best thing to do is to compare each setting from Cura to S3D. From the print guide, it looks like S3D is extruding hot. The default profile is a good start, but definitely needs tweaking. Filaments vary from brand to brand with varying extrusion temps... check the manufacturers recommendation w...

that is the stock setting from S3D. i was chasing some other issues a week ago and it was determined that it was the filament that was giving me problems..i printed in CURA and S3D and was having awful end results with both. Although i did read that Print Troubleshooting guide and like you said thou...

so, been chasing an issue here for a little while as ive been dialing in my new lulzbot mini. it as determined a week or so back that my ABS had become contaminated and thats why my prints look like crap. dried it out, did some testing tonight...and the Simplify3D results....are pretty awful. printe...

do you recommend doing it that way, knowing the steps of the motor and doing the math, versus doing the method that ive been doing...which is measure 100mm of filament, tell the software to extrude 100mm, see what you get, change esteps accordingly until printer extrudes exactly 100mm?

so, i finally had some time to play with calibrating this some more tonight and im just completely lost at this point as to what could be going on here. layer height .2 2 shells ABS filament from lulzbot printed @ 240 bed @ 110 pictures first then ill explain the best i can what im seeing. http://i3...

when trying to dial settings in say for example you get your esteps setup at 800. you then print some test pieces and determine that you needed to set the extrusion multiplier to .90 to get everything to look proper. is it best to leave that extrusion multiplier at .90 for that specific roll of fila...
