Posted · Ultimaker Original X axis prints twice as large, movement through menu is calibrated properly.

I think my problem is quite unique, since i have not found any other post with the same problem...
My calibration is fine, i used callipers and careful movement to get the steps/mm just right. Movement through the "move axis" menu is 1:1, 1cm is 1cm, 10cm is 10cm etc etc.
My problem comes when i try to actually print, the X axis will print twice as large, turning a 1cm cube into a 2cm cube only there. The Z axis also seems to be off since after layer 1 nothing sticks, it seems to be moving too much but i havent tested that axis thoroughly.
the driver step jumpers are set to:
1/32nd for the X axis
1/32nd for the Y axis
1/16th for the Z axis
1/16th for the E axis

I've tried updating new firmware onto the printer through Cura, which works but made 0 difference, the power going to the motors isn't too little or too much either.
It only goes wrong when i start any print.

I don't have a recording of it at hand (sorry), but ill make one such recording if asked!

 

Thanks in advance, i just want my printer to work as expected again...

PS: i will not scale the model in Cura to solve this, that's a band aid solution on a blown truck tire...
