It looks like both X and Y axes are affected and at the same time--as if the Arduino was overloaded, the RAMPS board couldn't produce enough power, or the SD communication was losing packets.
Why the system would add (or subtract) to both X and Y though, seems odd.
Maybe try to reduce the processing load on the Arduino? Check the power that's available throughout the print? And check the buffe

Very nice. Really good progress in a number of areas.

Thanks. This worked for me too.

Hi Viktor,
I'm trying to get a grip on the system you showed. I have no context with this sort of gear (or application).
Are the three hex patterns in the device located on different physical levels?
Is the camera stereoscopic?

Hi Victor,
At 5 microns, you're down to semiconductor feature size of a few years ago. Quite amazing for a hobby maker.
The large dots you show clearly form a staggered array. The small ones seem semi-random. The image being looked at?
I was suggesting a simpler, more mundane idea. Just a track of columns of four bits along each axis in four long rows the length of the axis, embedded as tiny

How are you coming regarding accomplishing this?
Doing this would likely allow etching an absolute encoder sequence directly onto axis shafts. Two advantages I can think of are: 1) position can be read closer to the actual workspace end-point, and 2) the absolute position knowledge tells you exactly where you are as you restart after a case of power or other failure.

Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
I'm trying to control my own cartesian-design robot using a stock Printrboard (Rev D) (from Printrbot flashed for a Printrbot Jr.) with RepetierHost (V0.95F).
I connect OK and can jog (move in tiny increments--about 45 degrees of rotation) on each axis with Repetier's Manual Control X, Y, and Z Home buttons.
After connection, but before trying to move, the three leadscrews can be moved by hand.

Me too. I'll be very happy to get it.
I very much like working with RepetierHost. It's a winner.

What OS are you running when you have these problems?
I'm beginning to wonder whether it wasn't an update of Ubuntu 12.04 (kernel 3.2.0-57) that had an effect on Slic3r.
Maybe Mono? Perl?
The laptop I use for development stays off the Internet. It hadn't been updated for months.
Then I had an _unrelated_ problem that turned out to be fixable by just tuning the EEPROM settings in my Printrboa

Because I found the same problems on two another Linux boxes I'm using, and because of the complaints from the testing of the perl code from cpan (See Test Summary Report above), I'm guessing that there's a perl bug. Maybe it's specific to Linux (All my boxes are Linux). Very strange, though, as the one machine has been printing using Slic3r and Repetier for months. Caution to me: "Watch out for

After an upgrade from RepetierHost 85c to 95f, I can't get past a "Generated G-Code Not Found" error. Repetier 85c had been working just fine over many prints. The Slic3r version on the first failure was 0.9.9.
Following repetier's suggestion (below) , I downloaded Slic3r 1.0.1 Stable. I get the same error. Runnig the RepetierHost script

Slic3r
Thank you, repetier.
I tried downloading and using the latest stable version--1.01. It had the same results: a slic3r crash at the same place.
At the same time, I got a 'System Program Failure notice. It was perl. So I purged perl (and those programs that depended on it) and reinstalled it.
I tried running the Slic3r app from a different location. Same results.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on a Sandy Bridge laptop.
During a slicing attempt, the Slic3r progress bar shows some progress, but then crashes.
I tried running on another machine and get the same error. Could be I've done something dumb on both. Anyway ...
