I feel like I'm missing something here since this should be a fairly simple fix I'd think.
I bought some new aluminum pulley gears to replace my plastic ones but it's a reprap pro and uses 17 teeth while the new aluminum ones are 16. So I need to change my steps per unit in my melzi board.
I'm not sure how to do this to be quite honest, google isn't helping either.
It seems I need to get a cop

Well the real issue I've found is that the x gear is somehow slowly wiggling it's way out of the stepper motor. And when it gets far enough it grinds the belt against the assembly and fails the print and is doing some damage to the belt. Has anybody had this issue before?

Yea i was thinking about ordering a smaller nozzle size. Would help my print quality a lot. I'll do that and post some results here.

So I picked up a new reprap pro and I was printing fine for about a month then the belt started grinding. The X pully had some how slipped up the stepper motor shaft and was grinding the belt against the x carriage. While pushing the gear back down I chipped the corner of it. So I've been spending the past couple days printing new x pulley/gears.
The problem is I haven't gotten my pully to print

Thanks for the reply!
I'll be using the metric prusa files from github alone.
I live in the states but it shouldn't be too difficult to get metric parts. I prefer the metric system anyway.

Hello, completely new guy here!
I've been wanting to build a 3d printer for a while now and I've finally bumped into an opportunity to print the parts to make a prusa mendel.
I'm printing all the parts at my school for the cost of the ABS alone.
So I've got the stl's from github from prusajr and I'm wondering.
Do they only need metric-prusa mendel plat 1, 2, 3, and 4?
Are those the only st
