Y-Axis Layer Shifting

I'm not sure exactly why I may be having this issue. I currently have the Prusa i3 M201 but I replaced the M201 hotend with a MK8 extruder setup. Running latest 1.0.5 firmware. I've always had the layer shift only in the Y-Axis with both setup. I did have a layer shift issue with the X-axis but this...

Re: Newly updated Firmware V1.0.4 for Prusa I3 M201

Anyone know if the new v1.0.4 fixed the long print(1,000,000) Line+1 issue? I haven't loaded the firmware yet, but I wanna know if it will fix this issue before I have to move the printer for update.

Re: My feedback on M201 printer after 3 weeks

I've had similar issues. I replaced the bed bearing and even rods to prevent it from causing layer shifting. The bearings for the belt wheels surely need replacement. I've had clogging issues but a brand new hotend sent from support works flawless(Thanks Geeetech). Firmware issue is a problem but so...

Re: Newly updated Firmware V1.0.3 for Prusa I3 M201

I've updated to V1.0.3 firmware and haven't noticed any issues. I've had the LCD glitch out a couple times but it seems to fix itself overtime. New firmware has fixed the timeout/pauses during printing. Any bad prints have been due to errors in g-code. Hope for new firmware soon for better performan...

Re: Under extrusion and mixing after filament change on m201

I've had plenty of clogging issues with my M201, I recommend disassembling the whole entire hot end assembly and using the small rod given, I would spin it while inserting into all holes of hotend and collecting melted plastic. If you unscrew the two tubes which go into the heat sink, notice it migh...

Re: M201 - won't print

Having same issues here. I seems like you got some filament clogged in the cooling chamber/heatsink part of the hot end. Your best bet is to disassemble the hotend and push out the filament, you will need to unscrew the four mini screws on the back to release the heatsink from the two tubes. There i...

Prusa M201 Extruder/Hotend Issue(filament too thin)

I've been frustrated recently trying to get a good print out of my new M201 printer. I've had issues with the hotend where I needed to disassemble and clean it out completely. I've even treated the nozzle until I can clearly see a unclogged hole. The prints coming out seem to have narrow lines where...

Re: Single Filament for Prusa I3 M201

Thank you for the response, I was afraid it wouldn't do that because of the 96% - 4% that I read. That is perfect, I cannot wait to set it up. Thanks so much for the help.

Single Filament for Prusa I3 M201

Hey, I just recently ordered the Prusa I3 M201, can't wait to receive it and start printing. I noticed it takes 2 filaments to one extruder to blend which is unique and interesting but I couldn't find out through the product details whether you can choose just one filament to be 100% with the second...
