Print problems
After a few problems I have Repetier up and running.
I calibrsted the extruder.
but when I go to print, the nozzle raises as it moves to the bed centre, but it does not got down again, so it is printing in mid air, no way can I get to lower enough. It is not becase of the endstop because that is not triggered.
Also the extruder gives a click and seems to want to back off.

I have it now printing to a fashion, how I did it was probable unconventional but it worked.
I put in the start Gcode G1 Z0.1, that allowed me to lower the hotend, and I have set an offset of 1.8, but I still have to control it further.
From what I am seeing I think my main problem is extrusion.
I have a Bowden setup,I let the filament run in the tube and it goes to the measurement set, but as soon as it goes through the nozzle the problems begin.
I extrude 100 and it extrude a few mil the the extruder backs off as though it is retracting, I am bearly getting half the required amount, yet when it is printing I am getting a build up of filament around the nozzle.. I have tried adjusting the extrusion multiplier but that has not helped.
For homing problem check eeprom bed coating to be 0. When do you get the 1.8mm extra? Is it already after G1 Z0? What would M114 tell as position then? If it is directly too high you need to set trigger point of z min endstop deeper.
