That is the reason i am not doubting my slicer program. The G-code looks correct, but the nozzle seems to be physically higher than it should be. Later i looked at position of the Z-axis couplers to more easily see if the Z-height physically does change like it is supposed to, it looks like it does. (1/2 of 1/4th turn is 1/8th turn translates to a Z difference of 0.1 mm which is correct.).
I actually was printing the extruder body to be able to add upgrades (read: layer cooling fan.).
So i bought new calipers today (Digital, 0.01mm). My old calipers seem to be a piece of junk.... The diameter of the PLA (BQ, pure white) and ABS (FFFworld ABS++ black) are very similar. The measurements of both rolls were:
1.76mm on average over the roll, with mostly 1.75 plusminus 0.01 mm in 9/10 measurements, one outlying measurement at 1.8mm.
Surprisingly though, i did get overextrusion symptoms. I am going to check the Z stepper voltage first.
Update:
Upped from 2.2A to 2.5A, still "skipping layer".
Update 2:
Switched to 0.4mm nozzle, same settings: issue persists but seems to be dampened or masked a whole lot better. At least this is more useable to print parts for things such as cooling solutions.
Update 3:
Switched to 0,2mm layer height, same settings: seems a little better than update 2. Infill seems to have improved a lot.Last edited by Reaping miner; 08-29-2016 at 05:03 PM.
