Topic: Printer looses location

Hello, my printer has had a chronic problem of suddenly changing print locations about an .5 in to the front of the printer (Y axis). It seems to only occur when I use the internet (it would be nice to use my computer when I print for other things) and on my desktop running windows 8 *mutters curses*. My laptop, which broke, ran it fine every time. Any thoughts or help are appreciated! Ah, and running Repetier Host and Solidoodle 3.

Re: Printer looses location

I had the same problem and it turned out to be the belt gears. I would check the set screws on the gear attached to the motor and on the rod and make they are tight.
