Topic: How do I use a multimeter to adjust the trimpot?

I can't seem to figure this out from other threads.

On Solidoodle's support page (http://support.solidoodle.com/hc/en-us/ … Adjustment), it gives you the recommended voltage values, but it does not clarify where exactly to probe the motherboard.

If the voltage is too high, what should I expect from the printer's operation, versus if it is too low?

There are three pins on the trim pots, two on one side and one on the other. Measure the one on one side and the contact closest to the terminals for stepper motor connectors on the other.
