Haha, I'll stick to fixing the jumper position for now. If I feel like putting my printer to the test I'll try the other ideas. You were spot on gr5. It took a second to fix, and I can already see that it's printing properly. Absolute legend! Thanks guys.

Hey, I've been having issues with my printer. All my prints come out squished and of low quality. When it prints I can see that the nozzle is jabbing into the previous layer. My best guess was that the build plate is not moving as far down between layers as the machine thinks it is. Using the ulticontroller, I tried the "move axis > move 1mm > move z" command and went from +000.0 to +020.0 while comparing this to a ruler. It seems to move exactly 10mm. I assume this means the plate is only moving down half the distance it thinks it is moving. I'm sure the solution to this is to simply change some variable using the ulticontroller. I can see that there are a bunch of variables in the "control > motion" menu but I don't have a clue which, if any, would solve my issue. Here is a photo of the demo robot print: http://i.imgur.com/4ngs82E.jpg The one on the left was a quick print at 210C, whilst the one on the right was done at a medium speed at 180C. Cheers, Brendan
