Solved First few layers not printing correctly

First and second layers. 2nd layer is definitely an issue.

 

I have the 1+

 

I am using the 1+ firmware from this link:
http://guide.robo3d.com/Wiki/ROBO_3D_Firmware_Release_Notes

The firmware V2 for the Robo R1+ firmware.

After updating the firmware, the firmware version still reads: ROBOR1PLUSV1


I thought it would read V2. Is there a better firmware link?

 

I also have the Robo R1+
If you attach the stl file I can see what it does on mine just to rule out the Robo as being that much different than your friend's printer.

I'm thinking I messed up my firmware in some way. Although I think I used the right file, maybe something went wrong with the update.

How can I fix my firmware, make sure it updated correctly? The MatterControl updater does not seem to work well.

 

I got an error uploading.

Oops, posted on the wrong thread. Posting here again in case someone encounters the same issue in the future.

Mark, thanks for the link, found it.

Looks like that did the trick to upload the firmware.


https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/issues/1083

from Github:

I have the same problem. I believe the problem is caused by a new release of avr-libc, where a type with the same name as the one used in sdfat library is introduced.

In upstream SdFat this struct has been renamed to FatPos_t: https://github.com/greiman/SdFat/blob/master/SdFat/SdBaseFile.h#L60
Either do a search&replace in SdBaseFile.{h, cpp} and replace fpos_t with FatPos_t or sed it:

sed -i 's/fpos_t/FatPos_t/' SdBaseFile.h

sed -i 's/fpos_t/FatPos_t/' SdBaseFile.cpp

Firmware now reads version 2 in MatterControl. Feeling better about the update. I am not sure why the MatterControl Hex update did not work, I didn't get any errors. Looks like the only way to 'really' update the firmware is directly to the arduino board.

I'm printing some test stuff out, I have a high degree of confidence it will work.

Thanks Mark!
Cheers!

 

First print test of the simple stl failed again... Starting to feel like I'm in the "Office" movie. Running the file through the stl file fixer and trying again.
