Topic: False end-hits shifting print

I'm using a solidoodle 2 to print various things.  Sometimes it works fine, and sometimes when the print head is in the middle of the printing space it will give me "echo limit hit in x direction", causing the print to shift in both the x and y direction.  If left unattended, it will eventually drift all the way over to a corner and complain about actually hitting the limit switches.

Initially it would only print left, never returning back right.  I found that one of the limit switch wires had fallen off, so I re-solderer it.  It work fine for a while, then it started having these 'drunk print' problems, but only on certain files.  I'm not sure if this is just a problem with sli3er, or if there is yet another loose connection in one of my limit switches.  Anyone else have this problem?

Re: False end-hits shifting print

I would replace your end stop switches, or at least multimeter test them.  They are pretty cheap.

Just a loose connection to a end-stop, for those that have similar problems looking at the forums.
