Thank you, i am at the moment on a business trip, i’ll get back to this asap. For now i can say that with my robox the softwares automatic nozzle calibration gave me wrong settings and i had to find the right settings manually. This is printed with custom settings something between normal and fine..tried to find an compromise with quality and print speed. This took about an hour, height is 5 cm.,

hi, this is how i achieved my robox to print semi ok prints. first of all the printer itself seemed to work fine out of the box, talking about the hardware now. but all the prints were horrible. carefully checked all available info from the forums and the manual itself. then i printed just an cube witch took about an hour to print to be sure that the printer itself was hot from every part. then i run all the available cleaning commands and calibration setting in the following order.
0) reset the head settings to defaults
1) purge material
2) clean 0.3 nozzle
3) clean 0.8 nozzle
4) level gantry
5) level Y
6) calibrate nozzle opening, counted how many times had to click no before i saw filament coming out from the nozzle, for me it was 16 no clicks 0.3 nozzle, 16 no clicks 0.8 nozzle
7) rerun calibrate nozzle, clicked 15 times no for both nozzles and finished the calibration for nozzle opening
8) calibrated the nozzle height by clicking Recalibrate. followed the instructions
9) then test printed the robox_cookie_cutter_logo model, it’s on the memory card with came with the printer
10) carefully watched how the 2 to 3 first layers printed, if looked bad, immediately stopped printing, removed the print
11) calibrated the nozzle height now clicking the adjust nozzle height, all the time by clicking for both nozzles the upward arrow
12) repeated the phase 10 and 11 until i was getting good looking first two to three layers
13) downloaded an small and simple model from thingiverse (i choose an minecraft sword) this because it does not take long time to print
14) printed the model
15) after every print checked to object and the quality
16) i kept changing the nozzle height upwards now very small amounts for both nozzles, repeated phase 14 and 15
17) if the model started to look bad, then i came one step back with the nozzle height calibration.
18) printed the buddha model with some settings witch i don’t have anymore
i think it doesn’t matter, because now your robox should work fine and you can play with the settings, most notable is speed and quality. sorry one thing, i have the cooling fan speed always 90% - 100%
my conclusion to all this is that if your robox hardware is de facto broken in assembly line or in delivery or wrong usage, it is a very accurate machine, capable to print really nice prints. if there is something wrong in the print, all the errors comes from the software witch is full of bugs..i would say that it is still in beta state.
one more thing, have an pen and paper near you and write all the settings before and after changing them if something seems to go wrong (or take screenshots)
put every printed model near the paper where is the current settings.. easier to follow what settings gave you the current printed model
hope this helps someones to get nice print with their robox printer. some of my instructions are probably just believing and some of them really changed how the hardware started to work.
