        <title>Prints leaning to side</title>
        <description> Well... I&#039;m still calibrating my new MendelMax and aside from other minor problems, I have this leaning problem.
All of my prints are leaning to one side.
My setup:
  Arduino Mega 2560 with RAMPS1.3
  Sprinter
  Skeinforge
  Repetier-Host
  all driving a MendelMax

I have tried trimming the potentiometer on the Pololu drivers, following some tutorials (I tried this like thoudand times...), tightening all belts and screws (nothing wobbles even a little), moving the PC closer (I had quite a long cable leading to the Arduino from my PC), using another PC and I have even checked, that the motor doesn&#039;t have trouble pulling the fillament when moving from side to side.
Now I&#039;m completely lost and all my prints are completely useless as I want to use them mainly for construction, so I require at least some precision.
Please help!
I do also have trouble with oozing and stringing and the start of a thread getting not enough fillament, but that is only minor as I now focus on fixing this.

            <description><![CDATA[ I am sorry, I have probably not expressed myself properly. The prints are not leaning from the vertical, but from the horizontal Y axis. The right angles of the cubes are not right. But I hope I have solved this problem already as I realized that I forgot to put the X axis precisely in the middle of my Max, so the angle included by the Y and X axes is not right, therefore the prints are not right-angled as well. So to anyone having the same problem: <b>Check that your axes include a right angle!</b><br />
Thanks for the reply, anyway.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Can you print something tall and thin, and take a picture of that from the side, it's not easy to tell what's going on in your pics!]]></description>
