QuoteAx Just re-calibrate the E Steps, they were set up for my machines, yours could be slightly different. Also, frankly, don't buy Chinese E3D Clones, you can get an E3D Lite6 damn cheap. Over here in the UK it's £21 (~$25) ex Tax and shipping direct from E3D. There's no reason to not buy an original. Thank you Ax! Eeep. I should of done my research.

Well great news! Re-downloaded your 1.1 firmware, used Arduino 1.6.8 and its printing fan dabby dosey! none of this strange side printing malarky. I have noticed though, i was calibrating the Esteps on the old firmware, with no hot end and the extrusion was accurate on 100mm filament (0.4mm off) the orginal e-steps were; #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,398.269957,94.4962144} // dby Zurking - Prusa i3 and variants
Thats not a bad shout at all! Re-download the firmware. I've just remixed yours (and middlemans remix) of your top mount for the chinese version of e3d-v6, i'm currently printing it as i type. I've had to put bluetack under the printer frame as its jerks crazy amounts whilst printing. I'll give the firmware another go once i re-mounted everything.

Hi Ax, Thank you for the reply. The orginal photos may not have given it justice, but its not a adhessive/offset issue (though the hotend could of done with going down 0.1mm more maybe) The hotend stops printing the complete layer path, i dont know how to describe it.. it cuts its self short one side and then goes over the base outline layer on the other side I've just downgraded my arduino toby Zurking - Prusa i3 and variants
Hi Ax, thank you for your reply I really do appreciate you taken time to help. Apologies for the confusion, I was struggling to get the orginal standard bed firmwaren(Gary N. McKinney's prusa firmware) to compile in the version of Arduino., but his large bed firmware does compile and i dont get any of these issues (its just everythings not centered) I am still very confused - Ive just your 1.1by Zurking - Prusa i3 and variants
Hey Guys, I've bumped into a little issue, i've installed Ax's firmware 1.1 - marlin 1.1 (Standard size) onto my printer. Tweaked the Zoffet but my prints are coming out like this; Its asif the printer has just stopped printing the layers. I've tried; -Printing from SD card instead of USB -Slicing the model again with Cura -Re upload the firmware Now this is where it gets weird, i've justby Zurking - Prusa i3 and variants
Hey All, Its fantastic to see this thread still active and filled to the brim with helpful infomation. My MigBot has unfortuently been collecting alot of dust in the last several months (moving around) But before I moved i bought a chinese E3D V6 direct drive hotend and had started modding my hotend mount (Using a remix of Axmod's E3D v6/Lite6 Direct Drive Mount http://www.thingiverse.com/thinby Zurking - Prusa i3 and variants

I was looking at my belts thinking i'm gonna have to keep adjusting those when they wear. An the cabling from the heat bed, that deffo needed altering.

Anyone know where I can get hold of the hot end used for the migbot? the nozzle, block and threaded tube, please? QuoteMigMic Got a copy of the latest MigBot/Marlin fw.

QuoteInvictus You shouldn't need to trim the leads if you're using the taller PCB spacers that came in the kit. Snipping the excess leads off the front of the LCD is fine, though. Do it right above the solder joint. Don't try to cut flush with the board or you'll bite into the solder and may damage the joint. I had thought that's why they included those spacers, but then I wasn't provided withby Zurking - Prusa i3 and variants
QuoteInvictus I'm assuming your proximity sensor is mounted correctly (the one in the picture is upside down). The instructions included with the printer that tell you to mount the proximity sensor 2mm higher than the extruder tip don't match the Z probe offset in the firmware. The probe should actually be < 1mm higher than the tip of the extruder. Here's how I got mine properly setup: Do aby Zurking - Prusa i3 and variants

Hi All, A great relief to see this thread. Thank you jcabrer. My Migbot has just arrived and after unpacking it ready to be built into an epic machine, I've discovered there is no CD in the box, which after reading online; includes the manual/software/drivers.. basically the essential stuff.
