Hi guys,
Just finished the build of a first 3D printer. We've got a Megatronics V2 in it running Marlin firmware with delta mod. I've just switched to Repetier Host whereas before we were using Pronterface.
Moving the head goes well. Calibrating that went like a breeze. When I start a printer it first warms up the bed, it then lowers the nozzle to about 5mm above the surface, warms up the nozzle, drops it to a paperthickness above the bed and starts the print.
The problem we encounter is in the extrude speed. It extrudes too slow it seems. The material that does come out it collecting around the nozzle instead of laying on the bed. I suspect this is a feedrate problem rather than a temperature issue. I've tried tweaking variables in the firmware to learn what they do, but the results have been disapointing so far. I will include the config.h and hope that someone can help us soon.
