Thanks for the reply sarf2k4, I'll try changing the current but if the current was too low wouldnt it always do that instead of suddenly not working?

Hi Everyone, I'm at a loss of what is happening with my printer. I have had my prusa i3 pro c printer from geeetech for almost 2 months and after some tedious configurations my printer has been working wonderfully. Starting yesterday, I have been having a problem where during the print, the y axis will either stop working and make a high pitch winning noise or it will move 100mm instead of 10mm.

Hey guys, sorry for the late response. I cant seem to get youtube to work so I cant show you a video of it working right now... Anyways, a friend of mine looked at my printer and configured some software (Marlin) and we got the same results. He tried looking around a bit and discovered that Geeetech used a board called GT2560. Its their combination of the Arduino Mega and the Ramps 1.4 board. He

Heres what I have for those selections.
// The pullups are needed if you directly connect a mechanical endswitch between the signal and ground pins.
const bool X_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = false; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
const bool Y_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = false; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop.
const bool Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = false; // set to true

Oh ok I see what you mean. I am using an Arduino Mega. I have checked to see if the endstop is working and it does until I try to print something. As soon as I try to print, the printer goes back and forth ignoring the endstop like before. Repetier does use slic3r and I have tried several different settings but they all have the same ending.

Also, I've been experimenting a little bit today and it looks like there is some kind of communication error between the repetier and the printer. When I add stl files to repetier, it shows them as being very small. I upscale them so they are the correct size in the virtual box then send it to the printer. The printer thinks that this means it is 10 times larger then what it can actually print. D

The Firmware is Marlin V1. Im not entirely sure what you mean by controller but I am using Repetier host. (I think thats what you mean) The endstops are at the 0s. So the x endstop is at the left side of the printer. The y endstop is at the back of the printer and the z endstop is at the bottom of the z-axis.

Hi everyone,Im pretty new to 3D printers and working with them. I ordered the Prusa i3 pro c printer from Geeetech and have assembled it. I have tried several prints I found on thingiverse.com and all prints have caused my printer to move back and forth on the x-axis until it reaches the end. I have a end stop on the left side of the x-axis and the printer ignores it when the printer reaches the
