I figure the y-axis stepper motor probably has a bad output signal and needs to be replaced, but I don't know why my changes to the steps/mm are having no effect to either axis. To see if these changes were even working I changed the x-axis to 99.520433 and again no change.still a 20mm x 17.8mm cube. Printed another cube, but it didn't change anything. To see if it would fix the problem I changed my steps/mm on the y-axis to 99.520433 (88.573186*20/17.8) in both the onboard preferences and the. I have read online where people modify this value slightly to correct printing accuracy.but the changes are always small like 88.888888. jsom file associated with with software list the steps/mm as 88.573186. I have since tried printing several calibration objects and they are all too small in the Y-axis.īoth the Onboard preferences and the. Again, it printed, OK but the cube measures 20mm in the x-direction and only 17.8mm in the y-direction. Next I tried printing the 20mm cube example that comes on the Makerbot Desktop software. It printed fine, but it was more oval shaped.longer in X than in Y. The issue started when I tried to print the bolt and nut that comes preloaded on the SD card. I put in a support ticket for the problem, but I'm still waiting to hear back. Just bought a 4th gen model of the MB Replicator 2 and I'm having a couple problems with it related to the y-axis calibration.
