This is maybe an old topic, but I want tot share my settings for if someone strumbles on this page. Steps taken 1. Generate Gcode by Cura with starting and end gcode presented below 2. Open Notepad++ and remove all code (I leave the comments) that Cura creates before my comment ; My edit. This enables heating the print bed and nozzle simultaneous. 3. Execute Gcode on Leapfrog. Cura printer profile settings I created a new printer setting called Leapfrog and used the following settings.

Thanks you for the response. This solves the drift, but is under extrusion also common with this problem, or might this be a temperature / speed problem? As you can see my speed is not that high, temp. is 210 C and using green Makerpoint PLA for 180-210 C

Hello community, I got drift and under extrusion with the UM2 . The drift started yesterday and started with larger parts, but now also with smaller parts (sizes of 1/3 of the print bed). I just noticed the under extrusion and created a test file (test_square) to see the drifting and under extrusion. The pictures say enough. I got drift in both X and Y. I search the forum for drift and placed marks on the pulleys to see if they slip. However this did not occur. I did not extra tighten the pulleys, maybe I'm going to do that just for sake of completeness. Another point is lubrication, unfortunately I cannot test it now since I do not have lubrication at hand. Furthermore, the filament is sometimes retracted a lit bit, rotating the feeder actuator. I think that's because the filament roll is getting smaller, so the feeder requires more torque to overcome the friction force of the filament roll. No slip occurs, the feeder is just rotated backwards. Have anyone seen this before? I hope it is a bit clear what my problems are and that the pictures are sufficient enough. Just request for more information if it is not the case. - Michael To reduce the size of the post, I placed the images into an album, only have no clue how to include an album in here or refer to it by URL. So all the images are included in the post. Edit: A video of another design where the drift occurs around 0:26. You can hear it jamming.
