Configuration problem A30 & Cura

Post by FGL » Sat Oct 06, 2018 9:15 pm

It doesn't work for me at all (Cura 3.5.0). It's unable to print, like the extruder is not feeding enough plastic, or the Z axis is not close enough to the bed (it's correctly leveled, it works nice with EasyPrint)

Yeah, I had the same problem with Geeetech's Cura Profile. I've been using the Cura profile for the CR-10 and it's been working great!

Imho the issue is, that the the quality is poor. Not the connection.

Hello,
i am very new to all this, had the same problem with Cura+A30, and for me, it was exactly as you said "not enough material" there is parameter called "flow" when i set it to 120 it was much better for me

I tried the official Geetech a30 cura printer settings along with other, and they simply did not work. The initial layer was printing far too high off the bed, even with the Z level calibrated to .05mm with a feeler gauge, and there was severe underextrusion. My Cura printer setting is for the CR10 with the bed size adjusted and I imported a Geetech A10 profile and went from there. I am running 120% flow rates in cura currently. Here is a single walled airplane wing section I just printed today:

The A30 is a decent machine, but the lack of easy firmware upgrades and no usable Cura profiles make it not so great for getting started. This printer really needs better software support.

Hey anriki,
can you share your a10 cura profile?
I am having the same issues as you (the a10_dog.gcode sample prints fine, but when I slice an object on my own, i have massive underextrusion).

thx!
