Hello,
New smoothieboard user here with an azteeg x5 gt on a hictop I3 clone.
Everything up until the actual printing is working
3 point probe works and I can see Z steppers compensating during the prime.
For some reason, Z raises a few MM after prime and I have tried changing offsets as well as first layer height in simplify3d.
I appreciate any help.
Here is a video of what it is doing:
youtubeDOTcom/watch?v=Imos1swmrjk
Here is my starting gcode:
G28 ; home all axes
G1 X10 Y30 Z30 F3000 ;
G32 ; run auto bed leveling routine
G1 X0 Y20 Z-0.8 F1500 ; get ready to prime
M500 ;
M109 S[extruder0_temperature] ; heat the extruder
G1 X200 E20 F600 ; prime nozzle
And here is my configuration file:
