Re: Prints always in the corner - 11 years ago
That sounds like 2 diff solutions: 1) fixing the firmware; 2) changing the printer's behavior just before printing I like the idea of fixing the x-y position (even Z?) and then starting your prints Can you share more details of how you do that?

Re: Solidoodle vs Mendel90? - 12 years ago
Alright nophead, there's my testimony I had just ordered the kit from them after reading everything about it, including the improvements he (Chris) has done based on the reviews you mentioned. I just got a little sceptical since a friend shared a comparison on Slashdot, but I guess they were not comparing apples to apples... My bad for even using those 2 words together in the subject line I'by seekerky - General
