Spins very easily.

CrazyBear, I will post my settings in the KISSlicer thread.

I think I printed mine at .3 tol as opposed to the original .15 (I think it is?) I've had two semi successful prints. The first one caught a lot due to my banding issues, the second - fourth I failed due to bed adhesion & getting used to slic3r over pronterface, then the last one printed fine, just a little sticking which can be fixed with a 1/4" allen bit in a drill and 5 minutes of high speed turning.

Here is a link to the one I customized per my mentions above:

Did you use Slic3r or KISSlicer? Could you please share your settings? I tried today using Slic3r 0.9.9 and I noticed there is continuity of the fillament between the outer gear and the inner gears for every single layer so that is why mine doesn't spin.

There is a bit of slop I might try bumping it up a little to get the tolerance tighter.

Do the flow rate calibration again. Make sure it is dead on.

From the blog... "When you are printing at .3mm layers, a good Width over Thickness Ratio is 1.4, meaning the thread is 1.4x wider than its height.  This would be .42mm..."

Width over Thickness Ratio is 1.4... Does it apply for 0.1mm also? so the wall thickness has to be .14mm?

Thanks,

CB

Oh yeah, the last time I tried was pre calibration, time to try again...

http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:66936

I already tried the following:

- Leveled the bed the best I could
- Adjusted the Z-screw to the point that the first layer can stick but without squeezing too much
- Checked the extruder calibration and the flow rate (using the box)
- Reduced the flow rate below the calibration number
- Tried slicing with  Slic3r and KISSlicer

As you can see there is not enough distance between the inner and outer gears.

Thank you in advance for your input/help,

CB
