• Well, thanks for all the suggestions.  I spent a few hours tonight tweaking the printer, after calibrating the extruder, leveling the bed a bit further and adjusting the per/mm settings in Slic3r I've gotten it to print good quality prints.  Thanks…

• Roko said: You should make sure your extruder is calibrated so when you tell it to push 100mm it pushes 100mm. There are guides on the web for the correct procedure. Good to know, I had no idea that needed to be done.  I just looked up ins…

• Awesome, I set the speeds slower and now I'm getting much better results. I have it set to 60 mm/s for both perimeters and infill, feed 120 and flow 70 and that seems to be working out well So PLA can be printed faster thank ABS? I've yet to print w…

• I've increased the temp to 240 and disabled the auto bed level and am still having that happen.  Could it be related to feedrate and flowrate? It almost looks like it's depositing too much material. I watched while it printed and it appears the fila…

• I'll turn the temp up and give that a shot I also noticed last night that the Z axis motor was moving the bed up and down quite a bit while in the middle of printing each layer so I disabled auto levelling in the eeprom, that did help with a print I…

• I've been able to get the printer up and running by flashing again.  Thanks

• I found the EEPROM settings in Repetier Host, several of the settings have 0s in the field. I'm not in front of that computer right now but I do remember that almost if not all the settings dealing with x-y-z movement were 0What is a good starting p…

• Alright, I did some more tinkering.  With the firmware from Luc, the left pin for the extruder reads 12.18v if I hold my multimeter to a ground on the board or chasis, testing with COM on the right pin, it reads 0V I tried grounding the wire from th…

• Thanks for the info but I'm very new to 3d printing and arduino as a whole.  What i have so far are two configurations that i've loaded to the machine that will work some of the functions. The first is the config files that I downloaded from here: h…

• Repetier said: 09:40:42.744 : Error:M11409:40:42.744 : X:NAN Y:NAN Z:NAN E:NAN you should check your eeprom. I guess it contains some invalid numbers causing NaN which prevents movements. Thanks, Can you walk me through how to check that?

• Thanks,  I was actually able to get it working by grounding the bed to the chasis..... so not sure what is going on there.  Thanks Eric
