Topic: Calibration Help
I'm trying to get my Solidoodle 2 fully calibrated, but I am running into a few issues.
I've got my extruder calibrated to within 1mm, so I am not too worried there.
The bed, well that seems almost impossible to get level. I wish it had 4 adjustment screws. I have it about as good as I can get it.
ABS filament is what I am currently using. I've been having issues with the layers not fully bonding and with quite a bit of extra "goop".
There are SO many different things that you can tweak, I am not sure exactly what tweaking I should do.
I am attaching a few photos to show what I mean. Also, at the tip of the X-wing fighter, when it was printing the top 1/4" or so was just a blob moving back-and-forth.
Also, I tried printing the 4x20 box with a single wall for calibration - sliced it with slic3r 0.97 - at every layer where the head stopped to finish the line for the current layer, there was a small blob.
Suggestions for what things I should try first, etc are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
