  @hythos You have extrusion problems that most of the time happens if there is a gap in your hotend. If its all metal you most likely have a little gap between the heatbreak and nozzle or if its not all metal between the PTFE tube and nozzle. Take the nozzle out if you see discoloration on the top then discard it (they are very tough to clean properly on top without damaging the top) and then take the hotend apart and clean it. If you have all metal you probably will have to replace the heatbreak too (if it got filament on where it buts with the nozzle - if you got a non all metal - replace the PTFE tube - preferably with a Capricorn. and make sure you cut it properly with a proper tool

  I have a CTC A8 clone printer and was looking to upgrade firmware to enable auto bed levelling but Cura refused to see the printer connected via USB (using Windows 10 Pro btw). A few searches led me to a CH340 USB-Serial driver, repetierhost and Mattercontrol. Firstly if I allow the RAMPS driver supplied with mattercontrol to install rather than the CH340 then the software can't connect to the printer. Using the CH340, matter control connects to the printer and i can control movement (I've not tried a print over USB yet). I thought I'd try the software bed levelling before looking further at a sensor and updating firmware, but I'm having issues. The wizard starts and moves the head to the 1st point, but clicking Z- moves the z-axis to a completely random position. I believe the last one was +637, rather than stepping down 1mm. clicking Z+ to stop has no effect (although the number on screen changes, it jumps randomly from what i can tell, +637 to -1234 to -765 to +423) I'll try to get some screengrabs when I'm the PC the printer is connected to. The only way to stop the Z axis movement is to turn off the printer of close mattercontrol. Any suggestions?
