    Creator Pro - Calibration tutorial

    Hi,

    I just received my new Creator Pro (2016 version). The printer works, but I'm not happy with the quality of the print. I use REC PLA Filament, which I heard should be pretty good. I hope someone can show me some tutorial on how to adjust the settings step by step for the printer and material. I saw all these complicated calibration prints, but I think thats too far for now. I guess I will use Slic3r, but I'm open to other suggestions and hope someone would share their settings with me.

    Thanks a lot!

    Not sure about the 2016 firmware, what is it running? The 2015 model has a bed level function in the firmware.

    it's running sailfish. i already did a leveling, but right now i do have some adhesion issues. the printer came with the aluminium plate and an attached "printing mat" (blue and with a rippled surface... kind feels like rubber). there are also 2 spare "mats". does anyone know how this has to be cleaned and how to improve adhesion? i thought about removing the mat and print directly on the aluminium...

    Use isopropyl alcohol to clean it. As for what surface you print on, it depends what material you are printing in.

    I would not remove the 'buildtak' unless you are going to replace it with something else. Dialing in your printer take's time. There is a great .pdf floating around on the forums on how to get your sailfish printer dialed in.

    Are you kidding, how did you miss that? ... Wait, I guess it depends on how you surf this forum, as it's a stickied topic in the FlashForge forum.. So I guess if you surf by 'new posts' you may not have seen it. (Benefit of the doubt kind of thing )
