HELP! Please review my slicer settings
As the title states, I just want someone to review my slicer settings. I have a RR V-Core 3.1 500 with a 0.6mm nozzle. I haven't gotten a single print out of it yet. I want to use PETG, but since that wasn't working, started using PLA, still to no success.
I have a Bondtech LGX Lite, a Rapido UHF Hotend, a Diamondback Volcano 0.6mm Nozzle, a Beacon Scanner, a EBB36 Toolboard. The resonance is good. The bed level is good.
Here is my printer CFG and Orca Slicer settings. I have kept things like speeds and other things default because I haven't had a chance to tune them as I can't even tune the temperature. The only thing I have done is be able to print a first layer test to ensure I have the correct Z-Offset. I am using Overture PLA but want to use PETG as well after finishing the PLA roll. Esteps have already been done and adjusted using the rotation distance in the printer cfg. I am beyond desparate and so close to quitting. Please help.

Bed Level deviation is 0.3, so that is good. Here are resonance graphs.
Here are my failures.
Here is the only successful thing I have done in the past month I have been trying to get this machine to work
Please upload the printer.cfg as file, not as zip. People won't help if they need to download a zip
Delete this line:
Rotation distance is a fixed value, if you change that, it will be hard to compare your settings to other users.
How do you calibrate E Steps then? Before that, when extruding 100mm, it only extruded 98mm.
Dimensional accuracy is achieved trough flow/shrinkage, no e-step calibration needed
Why is it in different set up guides such as teaching tech or Ellis?
Because we are all spoecial people here... 😉 General consensus here is to not touch the rotation distance, because that is a fixed hardware value. Im not good at explaining it, just search a bit around in the discord, you'll find enough discussions about it
Found the possible culprit: your slicer profile seems to use relative extrusion, while your printer does not.
Either change the slicer profile (under printer settings --> Basic information) or change the printer.cfg (under macro configuration)
I have removed the rotation distance line from the printer.cfg.
In the slicer, I have unchecked the use relative e distances.
Is this the correct one you were thinking of?
Yes
Do you have any suggestions for the line width and Precision? I tried changing the line width stuff to % rather than mm due to the increase in the nozzle size as a starting place, but was unsure about the precision ones.
Never touched precision settings so far, so can't help you with that.
For the line with just start with .6, the more you change the harder it getsbto troubleshoot if something goes wrong. Get a good baseline and start from there
Upon changing the e distance thing in the slicer, I am getting this error in Orca slicer. I am guessing I should just remove the G92 E0?
Yeah this ended up making things worse.
Also this.
Normaly it doesn't matter which mode you use, they just need to be the same. Did you try it with both on relative mode?
might just want to try it in something like SuperSlicer/PrusaSlicer to eliminate slicer issues
