Re: print jumps multiple times

Do you mean I should try changing drivers to a different slot like say switching X-axis and Z-axis to see if the problem changes - that would identify if one driver was the problem! Or do you mean I should buy new drivers and swap all of them out?

Re: Firmware compiling problems in the IDE

The 1.6.9 was another firmware for a different model printer which doesn't work on mine. when I open the correct firmware which only opens in version 1.0.1 it tells me that the older version is no longer supported by arduino and it won't compile.
