    And then i thought: sod it.
    Levelled the bed with a sheet of paper. Set z=0 at the centre of the plate.
    And currently printing a small stamp for putting words into clay sling bullets - yes it's a thing lol
    Pretty sure the text won't come out as it's thin for a 0,4 nozzle and I'm using a 0.5.

    Turned out better than i thought. Anyone know the gcode for Home all ?
    M105 it looks like.
    Give that a go :-)

    Bearing in mind I don't have a print area cooling fan - it's looking pretty good.
    Sometimes a little common sense works better than wading through reams of calculations that make no sense :-)

    Next job, cooling fan for print area.

    if anyone is interested. Added that to my end script and works a treat.
    So printed a couple small things - now going for a full hour and a half print.
    Same print at full speed would be about 2.5 hours on the replicaotr clone.

    Curious to see how well this orints at speed.

    lol she's going like the clappers !
    75mm/s at 0.3mm layer height with a 0.5mm nozzle.
    With a cooling fan - should be able to do 0.4mm layer at same speed.

    Wonder how fast she can actually go.
    75 just looks like relaxed cruising speed. :-)

    Oh yeah I also ordered some belt tensioners.
