I do not believe you need a new nozzle though nozzles are consumable parts and it never hurts to have them on hand. My printers temps for PLA vary from printer to printer. Red prints the PLA at 192C while Blu Prints between the same PLA at 198-202C. I have never been able to determine exactly why on...

Infill should not be .3 with a layer height of .2. If I am not mistaken your Infill Layer Thickness should be the Same as or a multiple of the Layer Height, with a .4 nozzle. Example with a Layer height of .2 Infill Layer Thickness could be .2 (any more is beyond nozzle capacity) Example with a Laye...

The original Hictop threaded rod was a 8mm 1.25 threaded all-thread screw that does not fit snugly into the coupler. I placed a single wrap of thin electricians electrical tape around the bottom of the threaded rods then pressed them into the couplers, this allows the threaded rod to spin true not i...

Was thinking about upgrading my Hictops to E3D specs, could you upload your Configuration.h file, with any other information that may be useful.

Please

Have you tried the Cura settings. You can adjust them to meet your printers requirements.

Well let's start there, Here are my Cura Profiles. They should work for you. For 1.75mm Filament Cura 2.6.2.zip Will import into Cura 3.0.3 Start Cura, Select Settings, Add Printer.

Does your Anet A8 Prusa i3 Have a filament run-out sensor. If so if may have a intermittent connection.

Download blender 1 year ago on November 25 wonder why I have never installed it.

I took a look at your Model and see it was poorly assembled from many pieces. I took note that the left hand ear is not connected even before slicing you can see space between the left hand ear and the scoop of the model. I took the liberty of property connecting both ears, though noticed that the s...

I need to find the model I have...I had the opposite result. Simplify3D had the pieces attached, Cura 3.0.3 had them apart. Never said it did not go both ways, Post this model would like to see it. I have many slicers to test it with. Question? Has anyone determine how this sort of slicing errors o...

I personally believe that you can have a poll represent any result you want by where and how the poll is taken. I myself could take the Same poll for both sides and come the conclusion as the pollster that the individual paying me wanted to hear. The other day took a model that could not be sliced w...

For your hictop mesh bed leveling.

What are your settings

If you are not saving your bed leveling offsets, you should. after bed leveling is complete save the offsets using M500 or Store settings. After you have stored the settings. In you Cura start/End-GCode place this line after G28 X0 Y0 M420 S ; Bed Leveling On M420: Enable/Disable Bed Leveling and/or...

OK,

Have never used mesh bed leveling. Use Linear and Bi-Linear bed leveling.
I Have been meaning to try the mesh bed leveling though. will follow along maybe learn something.
