I never really bothered with the belt tension. Before I printed the wire bundle guide the wires would really mess with the belt on the left side so maybe it threw it off.

Hey guys the setting infill every "n" layers gives me a error.

Kicks back a generated g-code not found.

It will only work with if i set it to infill every 1 layer.

I'm running a .3m print.


Also as far as the treading goes under advanced. Whats a good setting for it right now its at 2.
I got a i7 3770k @ 3.5ghz.
Some objects are taking 5+ minutes to slice.

Don't forget that you can contact the developers of Slic3r directly for some of the weirder problems. I follow their mailing list, and strange crashes do come up from time to time in Slic3r.

Something I observed is that when tightening the belts on the Y axis, tightening the front screw too tight will cause the layers to band (exceed the original layer) to the rear of the printed object. Tightening the rear Y aixs belt adjusting screws will cause the banding on the front of the object. You may look at your belt adjustments and fiddle with them a bit.

After tightening the belts you need to equalize the tension on the y axis by loosening one of the back y-shaft outer pulleys and letting the differential torque unspring... for lack of a better term smile then tighten the pulley up again and print away.

I printed a car cd holder for my massive note 2 cell phone.  It came out pretty good. 

One side has no banding while the other has moderate banding. 

I really would like some tips on how to eliminate this because printing my favorite league of legends characters is one the reasons I got the printer.

I will work on doing www.soliforum.com/topic/2341/poor-mans-antibacklash-nut-no-assembly-required/ first.

I get uneven edges that i have been fixing with a knife. So, I didn't attempt to print any of them out yet. The resolution has been pretty bad. I just got the printer and apparently there is a huge learning curve.

Whats the best may to speed up prints? Right now I'm trying honeycomb at .05 infill.

Does it matter if the prints do not have the resolution? if so then I would get a .5 nozzle and up your z spacing(lower z res) I have one machine doing this for parts that are structural and surface finish is not a necessity cuts the print time down considerably smile If on the other hand your prints do not require accuracy or finish somewhat then you could simply turn up the printing speed... both perimeters and infill... it all depends on what your printing and how you want it to look.

Kicks back a generated g-code not found.

It will only work with if i set it to infill every 1 layer.

Also as far as the treading goes under advanced. Whats a good setting for it right now its at 2.

If at .3mm on the infill every nth layer it cant be more than one. example  infill every 2 layers is .6mm  which does exceed the nozzle diameter. You can use infill every3 layers if you use .1mm Maybe why you are getting that error

Most objects slice in under a minute or two depending on the object and layer height. I've had some take 5+ minutes if they are complex or have minor issues.
