Topic: Davinci 1.0a steps a bunch of steps, very uniform

http://i.imgur.com/RwaqGVQ.png

This is what happens when I try and print a part I designed. I've retried about 5 times now, but nothing will help.

http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:780001/#files I also tried this. As you can see, something similar happened. As it was doing the skirt for the raft, It skipped a bunch of steps and the entire print was offset. http://i.imgur.com/yXHPHIf.png

Check for a bad or loose wire on your X axis end stop.

How would you recommend I do that?

Either the end stop or motor cable.


If you wiggle the motor cable, you might hear it trying to activate.

It's one of the 4 red wires. If you remove the whole cable bundle, you can do a continuity check from both ends and see which wire is bugging out.
