Topic: SoliPrint issues- Never Reach Temperature

Using Solidoodle Workbench, have numerous issues and have yet to get a successful print (Repetier Host). I am in the process of getting my Y axis to shake due to not enough torque but this topic is about why I cannot reach 215 right extruder and 105 bed temperature. The printer just sits at 205 and 103 and never reaches temperature with any amount of time. In Repetier Host, I can at least reach a desired temperature. I was wondering if the Y Axis torque issue I have been having might be solved using Soliprint.

Any suggestions?

Re: SoliPrint issues- Never Reach Temperature

I thought Soliprint software was only for the Press at this stage... My advice would be to stick to Repetier Host.

So you can reach 215C via repetier? Job done. smile

Y Axis torque is probably not a software issue. You need to look at:
* Y-axis belt alignment
* Y-axis stepper driver Vref (current control) setting
* Clean and lightly lubricate the y-axis rails regularly
