    Ok. I can print some things and others wont. Sometimes I can fix that by changing the quality. It's almost like it is pushing filament too slow. If I click on extruded it does it just fine. When I print some things it just grinds....how is that possible? Someone told me to try using Cura. That did seem to work way better but I got an update in the software and now they don't have an option for ROBO R1s. grrr

    If it is PLA then it might need seasoning.
    ->http://community.robo3d.com/index.p...hotend-jam-clogs-seasoning-and-an-oiler.3564/
    The nozzle might be too close to the bed (causing it to back up when laying the first layer)
    ->Adjust the initial Z offset and make it slightly higher. Normally you edit the M565 command in the startup GCode for the slicer:

    M565 Z-1.0

    is the default. More negative (-1.1 for example) is further from the bed.Less negative (-0.9 for example) is closer to the bed.

    Ok that seems to be making a difference. Not holding my breath yet. I want to jump up and down all over the room.. I am trying to contain myself.
