I've just finished my tantillus running LCD-less with a sanguinololu. I've gone thru the marlin firmware and commented out associated LCD lines. Everything is working well I just cant seem to up my retraction speed. I have it set to 55mm/s in firmware as the max speed, and I have the 'speed' setting under 'destring' in KISS set to 55mm/s as well but it still seems awfully slow.
The head is pausing for about 1/2 second during each retraction/extrude cycle which is leading to melted blobs on the printed object. Is there something I'm missing? My retraction distance is about 5.2mm right now which to me seems like it should only take 1/10th of a second at the most to complete.
No skips, motor and drive are nice and cool, gears are firm and not slipping...I'm kind of stumped on this one. Other then that everything is working perfectly. I can print most objects fine (blobbing is on the inner most perimeters so its usually hidden on larger parts). I'm printing the calibration triangle right now which is a lumpy mess as I try to dial in my settings.
