Hello, I own a Anet A8 which I modified a bit. I replaced the Display with a full graphic LCD, added auto bed leveling and changed to the Skynet3d firmware which is a moded Marlin firmware especially for Anet printers The last thing I did was changing the extruder and hotend to the mentioned Prusa i3 Upgrade Kit. I now can print faster and with better quality. But I have a problem: If I print the 20mm hollow test cube the walls are not connected to each other and it's very fragile. Is it possible that the changes documented in the e3d wiki you must do in the firmware http://wiki.e3d-online.com/wiki/Titan_Prusai3#For_the_Extruder. are wrong? You call 456 as steps /mm. If you take a look at http://wiki.e3d-online.com/wiki/Titan_Assembly#Firmware_Calibration there you call 418,5 steps/mm Thanks Andy
Follow through this guide on calibrating the E Steps | http://reprap.org/wiki/Triffid_Hunter's_Calibration_Guide#E_steps Then fine tune here | http://reprap.org/wiki/Triffid_Hunter's_Calibration_Guide#E_Steps_Fine_Tuning
Thank you. How do I know how many Steps/Microsteps the motor has? As I said, I bought the e3d i3 Upgrade Kit maybe 2 weeks ago.
On the LCD, under motion, scroll to the bottom and it will say E-Steps. If you have no LCD send M503 via terminal.
I suspect it will be this one http://e3d-online.com/NEMA17-40Ncm-D-shaft - which is 0.9 degrees/400 steps. Wantai's data sheet suggests the same http://www.wantmotor.com/product/42byghm.html
