Optimal Slicer settings

Hi Guys,

I have been playing around with slicer and something is weird. I have been printing the 20mm cube, but it prints at 50% scale. I haven't changed anything in slicer though.
I have attached my slicer config
current config.ini
(2.25 KiB) Downloaded 301 times
I tried printing the companion cube from thingiverse (I scaled the object up 250% since it seems my H1 is printing the objects smaller that they should be), but after 3 hours its was only 25% done. Surely this printer can go faster?

If the test cube is coming out the wrong size you have you're steps per set incorrectly, either in MACH or in the firmware if you're using ramps.
If that's wrong it would also effectively half all of your speeds.
The config looks fine to me, but I only glanced at it.

Dude, your a genius. Thanks. That solved it. The print also starts in the center of the board as well.
Thanks so much :D

Good to hear midget, glad polygon got to you quick. And now the never ending quest for the ultra-premium-dialed innerest-super-calibrated machine begins. Happy printing!
