Hi, i have a reprap mendel, For some reason whether its a large or small object im making on the last few passes of the part it starts skipping and begins to lay down half on and half off the top of the job. any idea why this is happening? ive slowed down the travel speed between layers so the motors are not skipping an loosing its position but it stil happens. Any help appreciated. Im using the standard software they recommend so pronterface and skeinforge. Also what other software is there that are more customizable? f Cheers Nick https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,181923,181923#msg-181923 Sat, 10 Oct 2026 16:20:12 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,181923,181957#msg-181957 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,181923,181957#msg-181957
I'm not sure you'll find anything more customisable than skeinforge!]]> MarkMarsh General Mon, 04 Feb 2013 11:26:58 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,181923,181939#msg-181939 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,181923,181939#msg-181939
it also could be that your z rods your bushings slide on are not perfectly strait, loosening the belt tention as you travel further up the z axis. it is hard to know what is going on without seeing an image or video.]]> jamesdanielv General Mon, 04 Feb 2013 10:34:20 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,181923,181923#msg-181923 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,181923,181923#msg-181923 any idea why this is happening? ive slowed down the travel speed between layers so the motors are not skipping an loosing its position but it stil happens.
