MatterControl Stabilization on Win7 and Win8

i have Robo R1 last version. but matter control doesn't work properly. i use win 7 , i tried it win8 also results the same.. i have connection problems. it connects when it wants to.

and if somebody use mattercontrol , could you give me your best settings for PLA and ABS on matter control. (slice engine, layers , perimeters etc.)

Everything I posted should be entered. If I did not post it, leave it unchecked or at default.

 

which slice engine do you prefer... we have problems about the top surface, its not properly closed most of the time. and the surfaces of the print is not that smooth. here are the pictures of the printed i made.

 

I use Slic3r latest version and Matter Control latest version V5 firmware

Try changing your settings using 0.2046 layer height.

Picture 4, showing the body, (very nice : ) resize that model to the same size as the other one so you can compare Apples to Apples!

 

)

could send me link of V5 there 1.1.4 on their website.

and by the way why you insist on 0.2046

 

I don't have the link, it gets update from the Matter Control software itself. The firmware is V5, you can see it at the bottom of the Matter Control - Control screen

The default mid resolution for the Robo3D printer is 0.2046

Did you follow all those settings I listed? Try that first and see what quality you get.

Don't change any of those settings and expect to find an answer to issues. If you're following those settings exactly, we can compare results and hone down the issue. The printer is working great using the above settings. So why change it. Use the force Luke!

 

.2046 accounts for the rounding error using 5/16" rods. You can view the math here: calculator.josefprusa.cz
