Thank you, will try later to see how it works for me.

Thank you, will try later to see how it works for me.
printbus, can you please share your Cura settings? Maybe just screenshots of all screens with checkboxes :)
I've played around with Cura, and it produced much better quality then Slic3r for me,...
I've printed small robot (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:40212) with 0.1 layer height using Cura and Slic3r to compare. I haven't made photos yet, but results are really interesting. Will post...
This is really interesting. I will try to play with heat bed temperature to see, if my results change. I do feel that the problem with blobbing I have is related to retraction, but need to play with...
Just finished making a couple of mods. Installed this belt guide on both Y and X idlers. Then I assembled new extruder and before attaching the motor, I've covered the top part of it with kapton...
It is rather tight right now, so I believe it shouldn't affect the print quality. I will be assembling new extruder today and will try an idea I have with the motor.
1. Done
2. Downloaded...
Here's the comparison of the original extruder bottom layer to my results.
Original guidler vs the one I printed (first layer and full part):

Notice that original part has only 2...
Some latest printed results with currently deformed extruder

Ok, it's time to return to my so far not so great 3D-printing efforts. Thanks again to everyone for their advice. Let me try to go one by one with answers and then also share some findings of my own....
Yep, planning to post some latest findings and results there, just a bit busy with work lately. I'm determined to make it work with all the current hardware, before moving on with new motor and/or...
Is it possible to use NEMA 14 with Greg's extruder? There's quite a lot of vitamins for the Itty Bitty Belted Extruder which I can't get ahold of easily, so I think I have to stick with Greg's for...
Looks like the wrong link, or I don't understand how that thing is used with motors :)
How is that extruder really different from Greg's? Except for the belt general construction looks very...
printbus, gmay3, thank you for your help and advice. This all definitely helps as I slowly progress with this whole 3D-printing thing :)
Will check the axis and idlers, but so far everything looks...
Ok, another update. Yesterday I've disassembled my extruder to build new one with parts I've printed before. Turned out small gear was badly deformed, so that might've been the reason for some of my...
printbus, thank you for such extensive comparison! I really hope to achieve something similar to the last one you printed, which looks quite solid. Also, thank you for the link to settings blog-post,...
gmay3, thank you for all the advice. I understood the 3D printing is not easy from day one, in fact I welcome the challenge :)
The problem with sticking to the glass is that it's something...
Well, I had an interesting evening last night. First I stumbled upon this post (http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.php?2650-How-to-Calibrate-a-3D-Printer-Extruder), where the video describes exactly...
I print always at 100%, not trying to go faster at the moment, need to get some good results with normal speed first :) The knob was printed at 210/70 with PLA. Interestingly enough middle layers...
I have hex 40mm hot end for 3mm filament, and I definitely loaded respective settings in Slic3r before generating G-code.
If this is related to temperature (duh, everything is probably related to...
I will probably go through the calibration steps later today, as I have rather bad results so far (there are some examples in a separate thread), so thank you for the instructions, this will...
Well, extruder and printer works reliably for hours now, but results are somewhat mixed. I've printed extruder and a knob from Thingiverse, and every time the top layer has this visible mesh and the...
Thank you, makes sense that thermistor might show lower values. I've tried to print with anything between 180 and 225 and it worked well with PLA every time.
I've checked the hot end, and it's all...
Looks like I figured out the problem with extruder large gear self tightening. I've disassembled it again and apparently I haven't tightened the second nut well enough. Hopefully this will fix this....
Hello everyone. I've just finished assembling my i3V, and while I had a lot fun building it, I'm yet to achieve reliable printing results. And since this is my first 3D-printing experience, I've...
