Printer start position

[steve1967]

The idea with the line is to purge and prime the print head.

If after this command, the print is starting in the wrong place, it sounds like a the following on code to set the print head to the correct position is missing or incorrect.

Sorry, I am not familiar with the software, so cannot really advise where to look any further.

hi any help is appeciated i think its the purge you mention thats doing its thing in wrong place rest seems fine

i did notice today however that when i did the bed level check thing that when it goes to front of bed the nozzle is barel on the bed so i cant realy test for the paper gap thing you do to level bed

so looks like i have 2 problems

is it normal for printrs to do daft things sometimes also ? as mine just started to print then failed then it went bezerk i had to turn it off at switch as print head was bouncing all over place


sorry for my ignorance with proper wording for things


forgot to mention it went bezerk after i clicked cancel print then started anothr print job so maybe i confused it

Sounds like the machine offsets are incorrect. These are my settings when viewed through Replicator G

Machines going bezerk can sometimes be down to a failing stepper motor cable. These put voltage spikes onto the power rail and this can cause all sorts of problems. On my machine, this included the display going odd, random machine resets and of course jamming and skipping.
