    I downloaded the new R1+ firmware and modified it not as completed as I thought. Hotend should be in Monday.

    I'm using simplify3d as my slicer I don't know if it's the firmware that I updated but the printhead it's too far from the bed and the g code offset is no longer working.

    Your missing your z offset in the start up script

    M565 Z-.80

    The -.80 is the number for you to play with until you have the correct offset for your machine. Every machine is different.

    Simplified 3D has a z-axis global offset setting.

    Id not use that. We were just helping someone else that had a issue getting that to work recently as well. The M565 has been flawless for me since i started.

    G28 X0 Y0 Z0 ; home all axes
    G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift nozzle

    G28 X0 Y0 Z0 ; Home Z again in case there was filament on nozzle
    G29 ; probe the bed

    Works fine now new problem the hotend cooling fan on the hotend won's start half the time I turn on my machine I have to unplug it and plug it back in and it works just fine. I actually had a jam in the hot end because I didn't catch it one time.

    That's not good at all. Might be a bad wire or the bearings going out. Is this the stock fan? If so, a good 25mm replacement is hard to find. I have a spare 30mm in the wings for just in case. @WheresWaldo made a nice dual fan bracket remix for the 30mm if you wanted to go down that path. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:871343

    It's the fan that I got with the e3d v6 from print sold.
