Had my Prusa i3 for a while, happily printing. Yesterday it started behaving odd, on an auto home it didn't return the Z to the correct place (about 2mm higher), checked the connectors, gave everything a blast with air in case any dust had got in & caused problems. It auto homed fine again. Today it is doing the same but even after checking connectors and an air blast it still isn't behaving.by spherelance - Printing

You could argue 3d printing is the early stage of replicators (ala Star Trek). They have an obvious use as NASA has shown recently, the ISS needed a certain tool so they printed it off rather that the time & cost it would take to send a rocket up just for that (and I'm guessing even waiting until the next resupply run wasn't an option). But yes at the moment 3d printing is mainly for prototyby spherelance - General
As part of my calibration (following the wiki) the 20x20x10 Is coming out 19.98x19.87x9.92 The X I probably can't correct a 0.02 margin, even the Z I'd imagine is tricky but any suggestions?by spherelance - Printing
That actually makes sense, as well as being funny, I'll give it a tryby spherelance - Reprappers
The build instructions for my Prusa suggest turning the OSC screw (bottom one when heatsink on left) fully anticlockwise, mine just seems to turn and turn. Is mine wonky or how many turns should screw have between min & max?by spherelance - Reprappers
Hello, newbie here but doing my best to learn. Recently assembled a Prusa i3 from a kit and have it calibrated well, even the bed is practically level (less than the width of a piece of paper between highest & lowest point). Moving the head around in Printrun gets the results you'd expect. But when I try the 0.5 wall calibration object I hit an odd problem. The object prints fine (after tweaby spherelance - Printing
