Mendel. Delamination and Z-steps and height problems
Hi,
i'm currently using a mendel-based 3d printer Han-bot. And i've had an issues right after the purchase.
The thing is - i cannot make a outside wall thicker than 0,8 mm for the reason, that everything that is bigger than 0,8 is delaminating (pls see the photo attached). I've tried with different temps (195-235C for brown PLA) and speed parameters of outside walls but with no effect. I've included pics for reference.
I also have another big issue and maybe its somehow affects the previous one - my Z axis steps are not set correctly. I get a height of 1,6 bigger than the original one, i.e. cube 10x10x10 i get 10x10x16. So i manually set the height scaling coefficent of 0.63 for every model in Cura. The problem is my steps/mm are set to 2560 which is right for threaded bolt of 8 x 1,25 (pitch), but mine is tr8 x 2, so i need it to be set to 1600 but i do not know how. What should i do to change that value? I have downloaded Arduino IDE but cannot get how to export my firmware from my printer for further manipulations.
And the third - why do i have such non-uniformity on the side surface - theres are lots of spaces between the layers. But it happens from time to time. Maybe these Z-steps causing the problem? Or temp
Thank you
