I did compress the screw to 11.5mm now (the spring). I did a 6 hour print now, that round circle there.. it started lifting the print up on each sides. So only the middle circle was touching? Why is that? It pulls a lot, i dont have exactly 22 pound to test it but it cant be that far off, it drags my finger when i hold it and i dont feel like holding it harder. This is what i print: http://link.jepb.no/QGTR this is what i saw at home: http://link.jepb.no/QGib and http://link.jepb.no/QHtR This is the settings: http://link.jepb.no/QHmd :-/ boring 6 hour waste of print And the motors (smaller belts) cannot be tighten anymore downwards since the screws are at the bottom now just so you know it. Still got the 2 lines, gap, 2 lines gap problem. :-(

Some images, i tighten the screw 3 turns. and tried to manually turn the gear and it was more "pull" on it now. The steppermotor belts are as tight as it can be. I have the screws on the lowest part at this moment. I'll have to check a smaller 2 layer print later. Is there any test "thingiverse" links for not so big print to test layer 1,2,3,4 ?

I think the extruder is perfectly. I ran a calibration on it, and when i ask for 100mm it presses out exactly 100mm (just in the air), i dont know if this is a way to see it works good or not? The spring is not 11.5. The measurements from the black edge to the back of the hex screw head is 15.5mm should i tighten this up a looot ?

I've moved all the short belts down "hard" pressed hard on the stepper to move it down and screwd it back on. (Before that print i believe.) Now i leveled my bed and got this result: then comming to level 2 i got this: At the printer i have "fR" at 100% without even knowing what that is i believe its 75mm from the setting .. so 100% = 75mm, 50% = half of 75mm e.t.c.

At the looks at it it seems like it is taking 2 lines right next to eachother. Then a little gap. then two lines. Then gap.. then when done it goes the other direction and does the same. I'm printing a layer now to show. Will post it asap

Hi in the middle of this image you see the third layer started.. All other is two layers. What might be the problem to thoose enormous gaps? Also see the inner ring, it dosent even connect the bottom layer to the inner ring :/
