My printers do this from time to time where they just ignore everything i did tl make them work and start using factory values.
It always pisses me off but usually once i find which setting it is i put it to what it needs to be and it’s done.
It’s been 3 days of me giving my printer new e step values with zero result.
At first i adjusted the start gcode in cura but now i’m also using an empty print file with settings and it has no effect.
I have a 30:1 extruder and the values i used so far go from 92 all the way up to 33.000, it actually extruded more at 92 then it did at 33k. The extruded amount seems to be random compared to the e steps i put in, i don’t really know what is happening.
I checked the extruder gears and they look brand new.
Have you compiled your own firmware? It can be a little bit tricky figuring out what you need to change, but it’s definitely doable if you have a little bit of experience with computers.
Btw. I think Creality made 2 versions of Ender 5 with different Z leadscrews, so regardless of if you’re trying to use prebuilt firmware or compiling your own you might need to verify that the z-steps is set correctly for your hardware.
Not yet, i’m still working on getting it all back together as i need different connectors and some other hardware.
I thought it would be an easy way to save roughly €100, but alas.
I have a copy of my current settings, dimensions etc. So it should get me some safe variables to start it up once it’s time to test if everything is ok.
