Re: General EKOCYCLE 3D Printer Thread
 
Our latest problem with our printer has been that the printer tries to print off the right side* of the print bed. Anyone know of a calibration that will let the printer know where the print heads are on the gantry?

*Right side as you look at the printer while standing in front of it.

Something that may be a problem is that one of the sides on your printer may not be heating up enough. Ours seems to break cartridges on the right side. If your working cartridge is on one side, keep it on that side whatever you do!

That's funny because the red cartridge was on the red side. I did try to switch it to the other side with no luck.

To answer my own question, our print head assembly is not moving with the belt. I think something needs tightening or something. I'll call Cubify and post if they suggest a solution.

Good luck it's unfortunate the amount of issues with these printers. I have a press pass to the inside 3d printing expo in ny so ill be able to talk to the real guys behind this. Last year I complained about the original cube and in there defence they fixed a lot of my issues but new printer new issues. Can't complain too much for a free printer though.

To answer my own answer, there are two small plastic tabs that the print head uses to engage the belt. Those snapped off on our machine. I don't know what happened; I don't think we did anything to cause this. As other people have mentioned in this and other threads, Cubify customer support was awesome, replacing our machine no questions asked.
