    After I got this reprap XXL Smart LCD controller it prints like this. I'm not sure why, it never printed like this before. How would I fix this? It's the second layer it it measures to be over 1mm high when it should be .4mm due to .2mm layer heights. print.jpg

    Looks like something is incorrect in the firmware.
    Perhaps you have the incorrect firmware for the version you are using.

    In configuration.h look for this (there are three possible versions):

    1) 5/16 rods (older units like the beta and early R1) #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,2267.72,723.38}
    2) 8mm rods (most R1 units) #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,2560,723.38}
    3) leadscrews (R1+) #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,800,723.38}

    Notice how these are all different. If you loaded the incorrect one your subsequent layers after the first one will be wrong and not work.

    I figured that was it :) You had to edit the firmware for the LCD and just got it switched up then. Good luck.

    Im using the robo 3d r1 and the firware is the 3.0 and it doesnt actually work on the next layers it just seemed like it did before because it did the first layer properly but it messed up afterwards.

    It only works like this with prints that contain multiple parts. Single part prints work fine.
