Hello,
I've searched through the forum and can't find anyone who's running into the same issue as me. I've just finished building a CoreXY. Initially, I had an MKS Gen 1.4 with DRV8825's throughout. I wanted to install some TMC 2100's to replace my X/Y Movement, and I'm running into an issue where all my movement's are twice what they should be; 1mm is moving 2mm, 10/20, 100/200, etc.. I've

Height measurement is right on. No discrepancy in size. It doesn't seem to be skipping steps. If I print a large piece, that doesn't get too small at the top, such as the winglet in the first photos, there's no issues, the prints come out great. it's only smaller areas that start showing these artifacts.

I've got a Rapide Lite 200 (Kickstarter). It's a Cartesian style printer. I've since changed out the extruder from a direct-drive to a bowden style, which has eliminated a lot of the ringing artifacts originally experienced. I've already tightened the belts, checked the lead screws. Hot end is clamped in quite tight. There is some play on the bed because the bed has some pretty bad settings

I've updated the links to the pictures above. I would think I have plenty of cooling on the parts. I also tried printing two parts at once like you suggested, and they're both equally as bad:

Hello all,
I've posted this issue on the Google+ page and got some feedback, but it doesn't seemt to be the solution.
I've since changed out my print head from a direct drive chinese knock-off hot end, to a bowden style E3D-V6. I've got everything dialed in almost perfect except a small issue with smaller perimeters. (see attached pictures). Larger area prints are outstanding, with no issues.

Thank you! I'll definitely try that. That would make sense since the heat sink is fairly small, as is the fan. Maybe the fan's slowing down due to age or dust build up?
Thanks again!
I have ordered an E3D V6, as I'm going to change my Direct drive into a bowden drive. The whole extruder setup is quite heavy sitting on the Z-Gantry, but that's a different story...

Hello all,
I'm hoping I can correctly describe my symptoms along with what I've to trouble shoot. Hopefully someone has a suggestion that I haven't yet tried so here goes...
As of late, My printers extruder's hobbed gear will start skipping after several perfect layers, like the hot-end is now too cool to melt the plastic. First off, this isn't the issue. I've used several 3rd party thermomet

Hello everyone,
I'm reaching out to anyone who might be able to help:
I have a rapide lite 200 that's just died on me. Halfway through a print, my extruder fan stopped. I killed the print job, disconnected my printer, rebooted it, now it won't come back. At all.
It's running Marlin based Firmware on a RUMBA (Mega 2560 chipset). I've tried connecting and uploading the factory sketch from th

Firmware - mainstream and related support
Hello all,
I've really been quite excited about some of the responses I've been getting here, so I'd like to continue bothering you folk about some other issues I've noticed.
I've started measuring out extrude distances, and found them to be off by almost exactly 10mm. I've marked my filament at 50 mm intervals, and set the extrude on repetier to 50 mm. When I extrude, it's 20% off with 10mm

What I do not get by looking to your pictures is how the bottom of the case will be printed... in the air? I see no support, so I cannot imagine how print will continue.
The object in question is a large arc/curved object. I'm not sure if you're familiar with 12 South's macbook stands, but that's what I'm after. I have since put rafts on the object to help strengthen, but I don'

Thanks very much for the suggestions - IMBoring25, I've set my bed temperature to 65 on the first run, then dropping to 60 afterwards. I've also tried 55/50 with the same results.
I guess I can try starting my fan after the first layer, perhaps this will help keep the form once the layer has been printed.

Good afternoon all,
I'm hoping someone could help me out. I'm at my wits end with this problem and can't seem to find a solution. I've purchased a Rapide Lite 200, finally received it 2 weeks ago, and for the most part, I'm extremely happy with the print quality. However, I've come across a problem that's been driving me nuts and I can't seem to fix it.
I have a laptop stand, that starts wit
