I was just going by the tutorial on solidoodles site so I didn't realize I needed to play with that. I am waiting for more filament to come in so I can test it some more, but it seemed like it was getting closer. I will let you guys know if I have any more issues. Thanks a lot!

Is there somewhere you could point me to fix a calibration issue. I will search on here, but I wouldn't know where else to look

The extruders are generally overextruding from the factory, so if you didn't calibrate it that may be your issue. Or did you take a dial indicator to the bed to measure it?

I was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue to this. It seems that as if the bed isn't moving as much as it should be. The extruder is in my model a lot of the time and is messing up the exterior and interior of the print and getting the extruder covered in plastic. I am assuming there is some sort of setting that I am not changing for this but I couldn't find it. Any help would be appreciated big_smile
