In the advanced section of Slic3r the First Layer Width and all infill percentages to the same number, I use 125% and then all the infills will line up.by printb.it - Slic3r
If you can post the .stl file then I'm sure someone will try and fix the file for you. I use NetFabb all the time but unfortunately it's not right every time.by printb.it - Slic3r
Glad we got this sorted! Hope you get to print soon.by printb.it - General
The only possible thing I can think of is that either the switches or the motors are wired up in the wrong axis. What I mean is that you're homing the X axis but the endstop is wired up the the Y endstop. Do the same M119 procedure but disengage all the switches and then engage each one individually and make sure that the X, Y and Z switches match up with the M119 results.by printb.it - General
@Sanjay Thanks for the response. It all seems to be working now. I was just getting a large grey box with a moonfruit link at the bottom.by printb.it - General
OK well that sounds like everything is working fine, let's try and figure out what precisely is happening. You said. "Now when homing it triggers switch and keeps going same direction." What do you mean by keeps going in the same direction, are the motors fighting against the endstops?by printb.it - General
I've attached a screenshot showing what Slic3r 0.9.9 is doing to the left part but not to the right.by printb.it - Slic3r
My mistake, there are 2 threads.by printb.it - General
For me v0.9.9 has been great apart from 1 strange issue where the top layer is all perimeter as if the minimum perimeter is set to 100 (it is set to 2). The really odd thing is that when slicing multiple stl files on the same plate 1 will be all perimeters whilst the other has only 2 perimeters so its inconsistent.

I used to have the same issue but I found this site : Calibrate Info Now that the wall thickness is correct printed holes are also correct. A few things I've learned since using this technique is in the "Cooling" settings in Slic3r turn the "Slow down print if layer time is under:" to zero as it can mess with the calibration. Also I've found putting the infill in the advanced settings to 125%by printb.it - Slic3r
Glad you found the wiring issue. Connect to your printer in Print Panel on Repetier Host and send gcode M119. Read off the response in the log at the bottom of the screen. You should get something like: Reporting endstop status x_min: TRIGGERED y_max: TRIGGERED z_min: TRIGGERED Depending on whether the endstop is engaged or not. Try it with an endstop press and then not pressed and see ifby printb.it - General
Hi, How do you mean it shuts down the printer? What happens when you try to connect to the printer with the end stops already engaged? Will it let you connect? Worth double checking the endstops are connected to the correct pins on the board, MIN and not MAX. Sorry I can't be of any more help.by printb.it - General
Ah, it may be that everything was working fine. Don't think of it as moving the bed back and forth but that the nozzle is relatively going back and forth over the bed. So when you press +Y the bed should move towards the front of the printer but you're moving the nozzle away from you (relatively speaking).by printb.it - General
Very interested in this head but the website seems to be down / empty!by printb.it - General
They are keyed but only with a tab of plastic. It all depends on whether people know how to change and upload the firmware to their boards. It's best to change the firmware but you also have the option of snipping off the tab off the connector on the board and flipping the plug around. Not advised, but possible.by printb.it - General
I agree with James. If you're able, test the switch is working with a continuity tester. If you're getting "Triggered" when the switch isn't pressed with M119 then change: const bool Y_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = false; to this: const bool Y_ENDSTOPS_INVERTING = true; Then try M119 again. If the Y endstop should be pressed when the Y axis is at home (like most printers) then I definitely agree with:by printb.it - General
If you're running Marlin firmware then you need to change a setting in the Configuration.h file. #define INVERT_Y_DIR true Either change the true to a false or a false to a true. Basically you need to toggle whatever setting you currently have. Or yes, just turn the plug around.by printb.it - General
