Re: distortion
Well, the superglue held enough to give me a reasonable motor mount. It was a little off, but good enough. I then used this one that was able to at least get a good grip on the motor to print a perfect mount. I'm good now. I'll try it out tomorrow. I figure I should print spare parts for my M2. I wo...

Re: distortion
What is an appropriate infill? 75%
Also, can I do this on the FAST print setting or should I use a medium?

Re: distortion
Thanks. I found that file. How do I flip it 180 degrees in Simplify3d? I forgot how to do this so it prints correctly.
EDIT: I think I found it in model settings

Re: distortion
After looking at the cradle like you suggested I found it was cracked. I have superglued it together, but I think I need to purchase a motor mount or print one. Where can I get one here, and is there any g-code for printing one? I found some files on thingiverse. Is this the right stuff to use? Thanks

Re: distortion
I'm thinking this is some software issue
The problem happens at the same place evey time
The cables are good
It happens right after the solid bottom layer is printed
How do I do a check on the slicer code?

distortion
In the past I was printing a basic box. The prints came out close to perfect. I did not use the M2 for many months. I just tried to print the same box and I keep getting a distorted object every time. The distortion is the same. It is as if the box has slid to the right and then back, causing a bend...

I went to an auto store (NAPA) and got a whole tube of lithium grease.

Better printing surface
I have found that roughted glass has superior adhesion for the printing process. I can get 8x10 borosilicate glass that is professionally roughed. I can order a quantity of these. Is it worth $30-35 for a better printing surface, or is everyone content with what they have for ABS?

lettering on ABS
I know how to print letters, so my question is not about that topic.
Is there a good solution for getting lettering (company logos) on ABS? I though about creating a Stencil template and spraying letters on, but this did not take to well. I don't have a multicolor printer, so that is not an option.
