[SOLVED] Printing FAILS!
January 11, 2012 08:11AM
Hello guys,

I'm having a ''strange'' problem in a Prusa, printing every piece. As you can see at the picture, trying to print a cube, when the printer decides, it does not follow the normal way and it turn to oder direction. At the picture, instead of follow the red line to do the four sides of the cube, it followed the green line. I had tought it would be a stepstick broken but I changed by a new one and it does the same. So I now think it can be a electronic problem (arduino mega 2560 or Ramp 1.4) or a software issue. Right now I'm using Slic3r 5.7 and Pronterface to print. It seems like when it has to follow a X direction, it change to print to Y direction or a combination of both directions.

What do you think?

Thank you

Problem solved: there was a short at the X endstop pins.
