This is very useful if you ever plan to experiment with motors or new threaded rods

Another tip, since your rod is not metric, you want your layer height to be a different number. Here's a good guide:
.1= .09878
.2= .1976
.3= .2963
.4= .3951
So instead of layer height of .3, use .2963

Glad you are happy!

You guys made my Christmas thank you so much!!!! I attached a picture of my new settings and my newest print.
also i didn't have any Elmer's glue but what i did have was super glue..... though it worked HOLY FLUMES highly recommend you don't do that unless you want a cheap buzz!
but again you guys rock and i thank you some much!
Tim

In fact, I would advise against it.

It isnt hard to to calibrate if you follow a few simple steps...

I wrote the attached for a facebook group I belong to. Maybe you will find it useful.

That is only for PLA in most cases. When using ABS use just bare glass with hairspray (Aquanet brand) or Elmers purple glue sticks. Set the the bed temp to 70 and you should have no issue with sticking.

It looks like you need to measure your beds actual temp as I see what looks like scorching or browning from excessive heat. Your bed may be much hotter than reported.

Also, you are over extruding. Recalibrate your extruder. Also, use a digital caliper to accurately measure the diameter of the filament. It is almost never a true 1.75 and diameter varies from roll to roll.

At first when i tried repetier i didn't notice the filament diameter was set to 3mm (im runiing 1.75mm ) and i got amazing quality print but the layers would break apart pretty easily anyone have thoughts on that?

I'm losing my mind here I've been having this issue for quite some time now(see pictures). I was runing Cura 15.04.2 but made the switch to Repetier which i really like but still learning how to use it. Ive read every article and seen every video about leveling the print bed i've tried the hair spray, blue tap which works sometime, printing with brims rafts and 90% of the time they still pull away. now recently this weird oozed look started to happen I'm so close to throwing this thing out the windrow!! >:( I've also re adjusted all the axis and even changed my filament (im ruining ABS by the way). someone please help because I'm just about burnt out with this thing! ive attached pictures of my settings and what the prints look like. the black print is with the settings pictured the red filament prints was used with cura
thanks guys and gals,
Tim
