it was rh sicne thats all that the solidoodle 3 works with right now i think i have it working but not sure how well i'm prinitng a test i'm thinking differnet plastics print better at different temps
hey ian i looked at your vid on calibrating the print head hopefully i can figure out how not toscrew thigns up. but i was gonna say ask how long is that thumb when you were writtign you were gripping the pincil with the ring finger and thumb

I don't see how this can possibly be true for a deviation of 2.5 mm, given that the layer heights are 0.3mm. That is a deviation of over 8 layers. That is, you would be printing the first 8 layers into thin air.
I should have been more specific it's +/- 2.5 across the full width of 8 inches. It's not nearly as bad near the back of the bed on the major distortion is on the front 2 inches or so. I think the major problem with things not sticking was coming from the hotend making contact with the print because I had the Z limit switch set too close after leveling the bed. It's been a learning experience for sure.
i still need to level the bed

My experience indicates that this is a critical first step. After that, you have to be sue that the first layer gets "smaxhed" into the platten. Then it is all about controling the environemnt. Wrap the whole thing i bubble wrap or towels or blankets.. you will see how imprtant this is by seeing some fantastic results afterwards. Good luck.. happy printing!

Glad you got it up and running!
