I believe this comes from "Z safe homing" in the ABL section of the firmware. You're steppers probably time out and turn off at which point the machine is no longer absolutely sure about the...
Hey, I like dial calipers. Decent dual measurement dial calipers cost more than dual measurement digital ones though. And being able to zero the caliper at arbitrary positions lends itself to some...
Aw, crap. That's right "N" is reserved for line number. That explains the error mentioned above. My apologies, "n" is correct. Thanks for the reminder Roxy.
Hit the reset button on the electronics? Baud rate must match in your firmware configuration.h.
Did you just type the command into the terminal and get that error? I've only ever seen that error when printing and the host software (pronterface) and firmware get out of sync.
Make sure the bed size is entered in configuration.h like I said above so it knows where to probe. Then callout G29 NP where P is the number of points you want in each axis. The software will...
I think what Roxy is saying is that the marlin codes does not allow for different number of points in x vs y right now. Being code, it can of course be changed, but that would require a patch and a...
In addition to using release branch, if you have EEPROM turned on, make sure you run a M502 & M500 so that marlin uses offset the values from configuration.h and not from the LCD.
Also, in your...
Assuming marlin firmware, find this section of configuration.h and change the "170" for y to something more appropriate for your 12" bed, e.g. "270".

Hmm. Didn't know someone had done a i3v fork.
Absolute newest version is on github: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin
Recent releases: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/releases
Not sure what is "most stable" though.
Since I'm...
Not sure what software you are using. Retraction in Slic3r is on the "Printer Settings" tab under extruder. http://manual.slic3r.org/expert-mode/fighting-ooze
Random picture I stole from someone...
Not an expert in anything, but my experience.
I assume you are talking about reading the potential of the stepper motor drivers on the board. This can be done at any point with a multimeter and...
Didn't see anywhere a mention of the hotend fan. Do you have cooling air running over the hexagon heat sink fins? If not, it will very likely jam when the heat travels up past the heat break. With...
I like the stain!
Tightening up the temperature swing might help. You can autotune the PID settings: http://reprap.org/wiki/PID_Tuning
Also make sure the sides of the glass are not touching anything so that it can...
Alternatively, Octoprint on a raspberry pi can enable control, slicing, webcam, monitoring over intranet/internet:...
A change in height of the bed could definitely cause layers to squish more or less depending on the direction of the height change. It's surprising that the glass would flex that much though. What...
Get some blue painters tape. Lay it across the bed as flat as you can with minimal gaps between strips (or just use the 2"+ wide stuff for the small parts). Then you can print PLA with a cold (room...
It's hard to tell from the pictures, but on the layers where the plastic sticks out farther on the outside of the part, does it also stick out farther on the inside? If so there is there is either...
3dprintboard seemed to have some kind of server meltdown a few days ago. it was down for a bit and then back with a really old backup before finally coming back for real. Maybe it lost the locally...
That did seem to help. Had a print in progress so bumped up the temp on the LCD and was even able to push the speed up to 150% (90mm/s infill) without any skips. Perimeters look good at an effective...
Hexagon Ø0.4mm hotend, Ø3mm PLA at 205ºC. The hexagon heatsinks/fans seem to be working well as I can touch them right above the fiber/kapton insulation and they are quite cool.
I have Pololu 1209...
So after turning down the drivers the motors were basically room temp the entire 2 hours. 5651
There was actually some skipping of the extruder motors only during infill. My infill speed (60mm/s)...
