MendelMax 1.5 and Repetier Firmware configuration and setup

[Stephane Beaulieu]

Hi everyone,

I am new to the RepRap stuff, i just finished my Mendelmax 1.5 build.
I am working hard to have the printer setup and ajusted perfectly. I
am able to get good results with my prints but i think i can get
better speed on all the axes and better setup on my extruder. I was
wondering if someone use the Repetier firmware and host (i really like
this software) with his Mendelmax printer ? I would like to compare
my speed settings, etc... with someone else.

All the plastic parts have been printed by a friend and all the
hardware have been ordered at Misumi, Fastenal and Phidget. For now i
only printed with 3mm black ABS filament and i must say that i really
like the strenth of this plastic. My setup:

Thanks Alex for the info, not much time the last days but yesterday night i was able to recalibrate my X, Y, Z and E.  Tonight i will try to find the time to print the calibration test on the reprap wiki with Ezra clic3r config.

I used those configs as the starting point and still adjusting.  Look through some of the speed messages here to see what others have been changing, but those should get you started.
