@larsbrubaker That would be great.

RE: Shift/Grinding on X Axis on first print after calibration/Unboxing
@scottalford Make sure that while moving the printer around, you have not mistakenly grabbed it by the gantry rods. This may have bent them thus creating the problem that you are seeing. With the printer powered off, you should be able to move the gantry left and right without issue. Removing the belt and trying this is a good way to eliminate the motor as a root cause. Good luck.

RE: Even under minimal staffing matter hackers support has been exceptional.
No problem. I may have misrepresented the use of Cura. I only use Cura with my other printers. I have yet to find a solution to use the Pulse with Cura. Someone here used to slice in Cura then load into Mattercontrol and use it fine but that has not worked for me. The main issue is the loss of leveling information. While the printer will begin to print, the leveling information is missing from the gcode which causes adhesion problems. Good luck.

RE: Even under minimal staffing matter hackers support has been exceptional.
@kenchalk I have had mine for a few months now. I have printed everything from PLA to Nylon on it without any issues. Even flexible filament seems to work fine. I mostly use Cura on my other printers and have to say that Matter Control is more basic than cura and lacks some features to make things better but it is usable. I have not had issues with the parts on the printer itself that you mention. I did have an issue with the E3dV6 coming lose between the heatsink and the heater block and oozing material all over but that is typical of the E3DV6 part itself. A quick disassembly, cleaning and re-tightening per the E3D instructions and it was solved. Adhesion to the Garolite bed is good as long as you use the Elmer's glue for PlA and Ryno. Nylon and PETG seem to work ok without the glue. The quality of the prints have been great for me as long as the slicing settings are appropriate although, it takes time to play with Mattercontrol to get them right. My printer is a XE D234. I hope this helps.

RE: Hotend Mount warning/replacement
@mpirringer funny, this just happened to me today and not even 5kg of material run through it. Mainly Ryno and PETG. It was ridiculously lose in my case.

RE: Sicing outsie of MatterControl and level settings when printing in Mattercontrol
@mpirringer Thank you very much for this clever suggestion. I will see. Thanks

RE: Supports not printing
@gripwik Interesting, as I typed my previous response, I looked at my screen and even sent a file to the printer (Pulse XE) and it printed fine with supports. Im at a loss at what could be happening. What printer are you using and what firmware does it use? It is the only thing I would suspect.

Sicing outsie of MatterControl and level settings when printing in Mattercontrol
I tried this today on my PulseXE slicing in Cura 4.5.X and importing the g-code in Matter Control. It seemed that the leveling information was not sent with the file to the printer as I observed adhesion problems in some areas of the skirt and eventual print. Is there any trick at doing this? I like MatterControl but the tree supports in Cura are a breeze to use and perform very well with my other printers. Thanks in advance.

RE: Supports not printing
Are you exporting the gcode to an SD card? I have not had this happen but I am always tethered to the printer. I hit the generate supports icon, they get generated and they print. If you have another slicer, it may be worth importing the gocode you generate and play over the print and see if they are there. Also, make sure that in slicer settings, the support items are set. Good luck.

RE: General Printing with supports question
@mstange42 Thank you for the suggestions. This part was oddly shaped, this was the most optimal positioning to avoid supports in bores and things like that. I will play with the suggesting settings. Thank you again.
