Hi I recently built a Prusa i3 from Makerfarm and suddenly ran into an issue with what I believe to be my slicer. I was able to print the calibration cube that came with the ramps software but I am now having issues printing everything. Please take a look at the video as it'll show my issue clearly. I am currently using the most updated versions of Pronterface and slic3r. Any help would be fantastic!

Finally, as suggested above carefully adjust the stepper driver current. Your motor
should not get hot.]]> bytemedwb Reprappers Thu, 02 Jan 2014 09:15:13 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,285162,285793#msg-285793 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,285162,285793#msg-285793 TheTechnicalNoob Reprappers Sat, 28 Dec 2013 15:26:01 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,285162,285305#msg-285305 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,285162,285305#msg-285305
Check the set screws on the gear that drives the X belt. I suspect they are not tight enough and the gear is slipping.]]> uncle_bob Reprappers Fri, 27 Dec 2013 11:24:41 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,285162,285197#msg-285197 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,285162,285197#msg-285197
So you don’t have enough current and you X axis is skipping

The math is different for different stepper drivers and steppers.

Or you could just turn it up a fraction (no more that 1/8th of a turn ) and try it. As long as your steppers aren’t over heating or vibrating]]> Dust Reprappers Fri, 27 Dec 2013 04:16:13 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,285162,285162#msg-285162 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,285162,285162#msg-285162
