I did the voltage thing all of mine were lower then posted BUT I talked to SD and they said that might be ok I could be overdriving if I am not binding. i will checking binding one more time then lower things down a notch and see.

Well the pcb let off a bit of smoke, now my usb controller doesnt recognize the solidoodle. I hope something didnt go out.  I was expecting an out of box experience. I hope i can trouble shoot this thing but i will need some assistance in real time, hopefully through skype with solidoodle.

Proper Voltages
X axis: .443
Y axis: .520
Z axis: .500
Extruder: .192

And check the free carriage stroke in X and Y axes with the power off.

After printing a footprint it starts getting more off of its path each time? Had repetier host then switched to pronterface. I just got my solidoodle. First time printer user. I think it may be settings on software I am not sure. I am running on windows 7 but I dual boot with linux and have access to other pc's. I hope its a software issue big_smile
