I’ve printed several benchmarking prints and calibrated the steppers. I'll have a look into the leveling and the brim now.
At 0.05 it is much worse.I didn't even hear about e steps before, but I did some googling now. 3Dream, for freedom to make! I either have stringing, or it sucks too much plastic and I have tiny "holes" in the part. Now that’s done, I’m printing various other bits and pieces for the printer - more will come as I get it done.The next part is to calibrate the extruder stepper. I've experimented with tweaking the retraction settings up and down according to various forum posts that I'd found that indicated the Titan extruder on the Mega-S required different/lower retraction distance and speed compared to the regular i3 Mega. When you set Z=0 it should basically be just touching the plate, so the approach of using a piece of paper and setting it so that it just catches it is wrong and will likely end up putting it at least 0.05mm above the plate.Hi, I'm pretty much stumped now. 0.2 gives a much cleaner output. I measured out 130mm of filament, and told it to extrude 100mm. Review the specs to find out. TL;DR - i'm having stringing issues on my i3 Mega-S, have spent days scouring forums all over the place, pls help.I tried using the default jerk values, as well as the jerk values recommended in the firmware readme, and have continued to have stringing problems.People recommended fairly low retraction speed, most said around 25-30mm/s and 1.5-3mm distance.

Pose a question about this product to customers who have already purchased the item. This printer’s major selling point is its enormous build volume which measures 11.8” W x 11.8” D x 12” H. That’s right – the MEGA X gives you about a cubic foot of print volume. It’s printing fairly well now. Printing at 35mm/s, 0.4mm nozzle 0.2 height.Anyway, does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions as to what I should try tweaking next?
