Hi there, Did you resolve this issue as I am having the same problem. Any help would be great. Thanksby kcnc - Reprappers
oh yes for got to mention. We use E3D V6 hotends(one of the best currently available)by kcnc - Printing
3.00 or 1.75 doesn't make any difference. Its down to how well you can setup/tune your printer. We use 1.75 in all our printersby kcnc - Printing
Hi, How did you get on with the Pibot sensor? Thinking about getting one but need to know weather they work with a glass bed and also how acurate? Regards Kevinby kcnc - General

In my case its not the steppers loosing steps it seems as though the stepper moves but does return to the same start place(its very slightly off). Have tried turning the pots to give more torque/current It has nothing to do with speed I have tried slow printing and fast and still the same. As for limit switch connections how can this possibly give the errors both me and dreadnaught are having !by kcnc - Printing
QuoteDreadnaught426 I've noticed that on my of my prints now, i get shifts in the Y-axis . I have a prusa i3 and. I dont have the nuts on my Z-axis glued to the carriages, the the bit od slack be causing it, or some z-axis wobble of some kind? Hi Dreadnaught, I have this exact problem also and have been trying to solve the issue for weeks. I have tried everything: Stiffened my reprap so itsby kcnc - Printing
Hi James, Thanks for your suggestions. I'll try reducing the flow rate and see what happens. May also lower the hotend temp. My machine: Loosely based on a Prusa Air but my own design. Ramps1.4 Budaschozzle hotend Wades extruder Software: Marlin Slic3r Pronterfaceby kcnc - Printing
Hi, yes the beds heated and up to temp. before printing starts. Also the PID is all setupby kcnc - Printing
I have spent days trying different configs. Calibration cubes print great(see attached picture) but when printing anything else I just can't get the same quality. I use Slic3r for slicing and have tried so many changes. Can some help ??? I'm pulling my hair outby kcnc - Printing
Right had another look at steppers Found these: But can't find out what voltage they are. Does anyone know??? kcncby kcnc - New Zealand RepRap User Group
