Hi,

I've sucessfully printed the testfiels on the card. Autolevel works as well with the cap sensor.
I just bought Simplify3D and would like to use this tool for further projects.

The problems I have are related to the z axis offset.
I've used the fff profile from facebook and it seems that everything runs well except the z offset.
I tried to add the offset to the global z offset but it doesnt seems to work even when I enter values which may hit the bed.
Every other funktion like the manual control runs well.

I hope you can help me!

Somehow I've found the issue after "hundreds" auf calibration and changes in setting the Z offset Problem seems to be solved.

But I've seen that both sides of the X axis are on a different Z level. Is there any way to adjust both Z drives so that the are even to the
bed. The bed is actually parallel to the X axis but not parallel to desk.

I hope you can understand my english.

I have the same problem, but as far as bed y parallel to X gantry, no problem so far.

You can "disable" the Motors or easy switch off the printer.
Than you can rotate the Z-Axis by Hand easily. If you have a vernier caliper you can measure the level to the lower Frame.
I hope you can understand, what I mean?

I have no Facebook. But a lot of printing problems with the A30. Could you please send me the fff profile?
Many thanks in advanced.

I'd love to get a copy of the profile as well, did you get it?

I guess the other choice would be to "translate" a Cura profile that I found here on the forums but I'd rather use a working one.

@Geeetech: Please make stuff like this available on the forums as well, not everyone has Facebook. Thanks!

try mine, worth a try!!!

Not the best, but can be a reference.

Most of the profiles are shared by customers, copyright is owned by them, maybe we can create a forum subsection for profile sharing.

Thanks apak and Gingko!

A subsection for profile sharing sounds great.

Yes, thank you!

This profile has much too little retraction for PLA. On a Bowden printer, you'll want at least 5, but usually 6 to 7 mm of retract.

Also your extrusion multiplier of .90 is pretty drastic - I'm curious why you've turned down the extrusion flow so much. Were you having over-extrusion issues?
