    Hi

    I have Robo 3D R! with auto leveler and all my parts are around 10% smaller in height than they should be.
    X and Y axis is ok, If I print part that should be 25mm it comes out as 22mm, checked software and software is showing 25mm when prints last layer,as well showing 250 layers with 0.1mm each layer
    I'm using Simplify 3D but as I said I don't think problem is with software.
    Is there possibility that my Arduino software in printer is problem?

    What firmware do you have loaded?
    Do you have the R1 or the R1+?

    I don't know, firmware is whatever was shipped with printer year ago I order it!
    Going back it looks that was doing this from day one but I did not notice.
    Is there way to check firmware version through communication panel?

    You can send an M115 GCode command in the terminal to have the firmware report back the version, but the way Robo has it that may not tell you much.

    Can we assume that the problem was not always happening? If so it is not a firmware or software issue.

    If it was originally working then perhaps the Z stepper driver has gotten deturned or weak. You can tune that specific one.
