X Axis Shift Problem -&- Got PLA to work on 2.0!]]> As you may or may not know I have installed repetier firm on the 2.0, been using it for about 4 months now and no major problems until now.  I got PLA to extrude now with no problems at all!  WOOHOO! Comes out amazing if not better than abs compared to detail.

I added some blue tape, took off the sides, and lowered the cooling fan for the extruder.

See my test owl in the attachments - I printed with the material Hatchbox PLA using 20% infill, 0.2mm layer height and default speeds

So here's my problem, after all the fun and making little cool prints with my new filament, I used the printer the next day and here's what come out...

Now to keep in mind I left it printing longer than I should have and never killed it till it was halfway.  But for all my models the X axis keeps shifting, EVERY time.  To be honest I have no idea what's causing this, whether it's the board itself or the software, who knows.  I cleaned the heck out of it, maintained it and re-oiled, tightened, leveled the bed, anything I could think of, but it still does it.

  • Does anyone have idea what's going on and how to fix this?  Thanks for your time.
