Help! Z home axis always changes different heights.
April 03, 2015 09:20PM
Hello guys I am new to printing and I noticed everytime I power on my printer, the home Z axis is always either higher or lower to my previous home setting. I have to adjust the bolt that touches the endstop switch all the time. The bed is already leveled.

When adjsuted, it prints the first layer good, going on the 2nd layer, the Z axis doesn't move and squishes the first layer. When printing the 3rd layer the Z axis moves 2 steps up.

I have a Prusa I3V 12in running on Marlin with a Rumba board. I use slic3r v0.9.9. to genenrate my gcodes.

Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks.

What is your microstepping setting? Make sure it's on x16.
