aardvark... thank you for the info...
First off. 245c.
movement speed I didnt realize previously , would have an effect on things. As fast as the hobbed bolt turns i thought it sucked up that filament faster, perhaps im wrong.
First layer - I was under the impression that you want to keep your layer heights a multiple of your nozzle size. mine is .4, so i chose a .24 layer height as a multiple. Thus making .36 (150%) the first layer. I actually realized that I took this down to 100% in my latest prints (but s3d crashed, so the settings didnt change). first layer height will be 100% and its a PERFECT first layer with where I have my Auto Bed Leveling set.
So ive tried extrusion multipliers from .87 to .94 with petg. I find my best measurements for this particular filaments are in the .87 range.. petg has a huge range of multipliers across manufacturers etc. I have some spools that are correct at .98
New to 3d printing looking for...
