Topic: Print shifted half inch!

Hello,

Brand new to this world, working with a solidoodle 3.  So far been pretty successful, but I am having a problem with a print shifting about a half inch, everytime.  I have tried using slicer and Skeinforge and I am getting the same thing, as far as I can see as I jump through the layers in Repetier it does not move.

Attached is an image of what happened.

This is the thing I am trying to print.

Any ideas why this would happen?  How can I troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance...

Check your belt tensions first. That was my solution to the problem.

My wire harness was hitting my end stop switch.  Once I printed the wire guide it worked fine.

Re: Print shifted half inch!

Got it working, it was the voltage on the x,y,z motors.  I adjusted it based on the troubleshooting page on solidoodle's site and now its working fantastic.
