Re: I3 Pro W not extruding properly while printing

So, late to the party, but investigate the voltage on your stepper motor drivers - if they are down around .800 volts, you'll want to bump them up to about 1 volt. search the forum - there's an article on this but I don't have the link handy.

Re: printing issue

Not sure if you're still at it with this or not, but try loading the STL file into your tool of choice (Repetier Host, Easyprint 3D, etc.) not the gcode.

It sounds to me like there's the equivalent to "Jump to X=N, Y=(M+15)" in the code you've pulled, and that's what's causing your second layer to ...

Switched the firmware via the control panel to use mm ...

Re: I3 Pro W calibration and PLA adhesion issues

Not that your post's time stamp is an indication, but I suspect a live session is going to be a challenge. :-)

I3 Pro W calibration and PLA adhesion issues

Greetings,

My eldest received this I3 Pro W a couple of years ago. They were only ever able to get one print, and that was not very solid or very good.
The youngest is now finding the odd bit of requirement for a 3d Printer, and a few friends have some items they want to print, so I thought I'd ...
