Print Offsets

Post by Kimbleos »

I3 M201 printer. The print starts and lays down the first layer then lays down another layer about a quarter of and in to the front of the first. So it looks like it started over about a quarter of an inch in front of the first. Have rechecked all settings numerous times, nothing seems to work.

The voltage for all axis were at about .57v. Put them to 1.0v and that fixed that problem. Should the extruder motors be set to .87v-1.2v also?

yes, set all of them to about 1.0V, expecially the Z axis and extruder motors, they need more power to work properly.
