Issues with connecting Pronterface to Anet A8 printer

I was recently told I should probably update my printer's firmware from the current version (ANET_A8_20160701V2.0) to Marlin (going to use v1.1.9). To do this, I dutifully downloaded both Pronterface and RepetierHost trying to connect with either…

Massive over extrusion after changing firmware

I have an Anet A8 printer (no modifications) and first printed a calibration cube. It came out okayish, within expectations. Afterwards I flashed the firmware to Marlin 1.1.9 and since then have very high over extrusion. In this picture you see on…

How can I have a large 3D printed object?

I have a concept that's roughly 18"x30" (about 457x762 mm), and I just realized that the Makerbot and similar printers only allow dimensions around the size of a piece of paper. What are other options? Are there large 3D printers I just don't know…

Filament Balling up on random parts of a print

The skirt prints out ok, but there is balling up of filament on some of the prints. I am printing 50 small parts at a go, and the last 4 batches were perfect, but the fifth batch had filament problems like on the photo. Any advice? Thanks

How to remove unwanted filament trails from sharp corners

I'm a 2-week newbie at 3D printing, working on a new Qidi Xpro machine (that is solid and one that I like). So, I do not want to believe that this issue is caused by my printer itself. I'm hoping that my settings have something to do with it. The…

Printerbot printing stringy

My Printrbot is always printing stringy, despite changing the setting on my z probe by entering command M212 Z-.1 through Z-1.5, with and without a heated bed. My prints look roughly like the one on the left. How do I fix this?
