I'm trying to dial in my printers e axis.help!!

[djake77]

I’ve already measured my e steps and i’ve tried lowering the feed rate and tried using a calibration cube but if I go to 60 percent it is the right size(on the sides) but the layers are to weak for making any thing with it,I will post some pictures in a little bit.I have no idea why I can’t just calibrate it right.

Can you post some pictures of your extruder, printhead and general printer ? Maybe I can find the cause for your problems

I’m sorry, but aside from a dirty nozzle I can’t find anything, that would cause problems. You should get a brass brush and clean the nozzle and check, if the hotend has no clogg.

Maybe you’ve overseen a setting in the software or mixed up some wires.

Cheers,

The nozzle is clean.but if I print it at 60 percent(the one in the left) the layer don’t stick together.do I need more heat?
