Printer gets a little lost

Greetings!

So here I am printing along just fine, working on iPhone covers (8 so far though not all in one night) and while printing another one my delta, running the latest version of Repetier- host and Repetier firmware, seems to get confused and starts printing as if the printer had been bumped and the hot end shifts printing path. The rendering inRepetier shows what the printer should be doing!

Any thoughts?

You probably dropped some steps. Without more information, it's impossible to say why

The latest Firmware is 0.90 in the development tree. It gets updated frequently, so saying you use the latest may be not true. 0.90 solves/improves many delta related issues.

But from what I hear it sounds like some dropped steps. 0.90 might help if it was not a move which needed too much force.

Thanks for responding. Skipped or dropped steps sounds reasonable. What would cause this? I had printing the fifth copy of the same STL, one a day with no problems, without any change in hardware setup or configuration or change in USB cables.

Thanks

I can only think of two reasons:
1. You are printing on the edge, so a small difference was enough.
2. Crosstalk triggered endstop (requires to have check always on)
