Thanks for your help guys!
I finally got the printing working and homing where I want it to! :) Now that it's printing, having one final issue with the prints.
I am using a MakerGeeks Translucent green pla filament that is 1.75mm in diameter and a .4MM nozzle. (because it's the only one I have!) Well, I have Translucent Red PLA and Translucent white PETG as well. It has a .4MM nozzle and I am printing at a .35 initial layer height followed by .3MM layers from there on out.
Hot End is set to 230, bed at 0. The setting of the printer I have so far is:
--------------------------------------------------
#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {102.1737135399413,100.6627936942481,402,104} // default steps per unit for iPrusa
#define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE {100, 100, 100, 50} // (mm/sec)
#define DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION {600,600,50,500} // X, Y, Z, E maximum start speed for accelerated moves.
#define DEFAULT_ACCELERATION 1200 // X, Y, Z and E acceleration in mm/s^2 for printing moves
#define DEFAULT_RETRACT_ACCELERATION 2000 // E acceleration in mm/s^2 for retracts
#define DEFAULT_TRAVEL_ACCELERATION 500 // X, Y, Z acceleration in mm/s^2 for travel (non printing) moves
// The speed change that does not require acceleration (i.e. the software might assume it can be done instantaneously)
#define DEFAULT_XYJERK 15.0 // (mm/sec)
#define DEFAULT_ZJERK 0.4 // (mm/sec)
#define DEFAULT_EJERK 5.0 // (mm/sec)
Retraction multiplier in Slicer is.9
-------------------------------------------------------
After all these setting are made, the result looks like the attached photo. Note that the corners are bulged and the the layers are VERY apparent. You can feel each layer with your finger nail...
So. Given all that.. any ideas how I can make this print better?
Thanks again for your help!
