Some people eh? Put out a few successful prints and they think they've got the hang of it... I had assumed it was temperature related because a print that worked well before came out really badly in the new colour and that was the only thing that had changed (at least AFAIK). The results were the kind of mess that I'd (wrongly?) learned to associate with running too hot.Clearly there is more to this 3D printing lark than it appears: I reckon it will be a fair while before they get as popular as 2d printers...

Good stuff. Explains why I couldn't find the option.

In spiral vase mode, the walls are exactly one perimeter thick and that cannot be changed. Spiral vase mode does the entire print as a single unbroken line, so the shell is essentially a helix.

I'll have a go with Wilco's own brand and let you know...

Maybe it's just the prints you are doing. A fatter print will stick more to the raft.

I can't tell you how your hot end should be assembled, since we don't have any Anet printers here.Pulling the cartridge out is an easy way to cause thermal runaway. Most firmwares have a failsafe feature that shuts the heater off when this happens, but some don't.

If you know ahead of time what layer you want to pause on you can use the Layers to Pause function.

MatterControl always runs in absolute mode, even if relative is specified.

I went with Skynet.Printing a lot better, but I also tightened the belts, which may have also helped.https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Jb9SruV4vGM1hDZ...
