I just received my sd2 back from solidoodle for matienence...everything is working now gladly...i did a print in white abs with the print bed at 105degrees celsius and the extruder at 215degrees celsius the print is all stringy weak and missing gaps...what could be the cause of this?
Can you post an image of what your prints are looking like?

It wasnt as bad in the photo when it was on the bed but as you can see ...the model was supposed to be completely flat and solid no holes or indents
Releveled bed and still having a problem im gonna try putting up the heat by five on the extruder and bed
Here is what the print looks like after i increased the temps by 5
Plz helpp
Plz helpp
Get me a better picture it is difficult for me to tell with out good resolution or at least a better description of what you think is wrong.

sorry about that....i dont think im extruding the plastic at the right temp. my first piece was stringy and weak and my most recent print is blobby tho solid new photo shows the first print on the left most recent on the right what should i do from here?
For starters I am guessing that is SD white ABS and That filament seems to absorb moisture quite easily. In a nutshell I haven't had good luck with that particular filament. Buy some Octave in the future you'll be happy you did.
Mostly you need some calibration so start here http://www.soliwiki.com/#Calibrations Focus on Steps/mm extruded. Then work on extrusion multiplier by printing a simple 20mm cube 10 mm high with a single wall (perimeter) and no infill. This is what you need to set the extrusion multiplier. You will be aiming for .48 wall thickness instead of .42 like it says in the WIKI (.35 nozzle .42 and .40 nozzle .48) You have a .40 nozzle and until you get at least these two things set it will be difficult to get good quality. 215 is about the right temp for that filament and 105 is perfect for the bed.
Have a whack at calibration and let me know if you have questions.

i cant find the marlin directory with arduino thats is shown in the vid for step calibration
Skip that and just change it in EEPROM Check PM
