Red face Re: Cubify Ekocycle 3d printer problems - New SW and Firmware out

Hello Fellow First Friends (F Cube)

We got our Ekocycle and initially were not able to get wireless printing to run initially. Recently 3DS released version 2.22 and Firmware 1.02

You can get to this from the http://cubify.com/ekocycle/activate Login under MyCubify, then under Activate, there is Firmware and Software Download

Load the software to your PC, and the firmware, copy to the USB stick, and on your cube, round button, setup, cycle to firmware, and select load from USB.

Since then I can setup my wireless, and see it on my network from the web app...a first. Previously I was saving files to the usb, and moving the stick to the printer to print directly.

Now I have a new problem...my prints are not starting with a raft, during initialization, print heads heat and extrude a ball of plastic on the wrong side of the wiper, because they are on the wrong side, it goes to start extruding to the plate with the previously created ball and mops the plate clean leaving nothing down.

If anyone knows how to get the print head to initialize about 10 mm to the right (to get on the correct side of the wipers) or a way to get the printing to stick to the pad, I would appreciate it. We have set the zgap, it auto sets and we close the gap a touch more. I feel like we are wasting too much filament in the initial ball creation and hope to find a way to get more plastic on the pad.
