    That's not what I told you to do. Delete your printer profile and make a new one ensuring you're not using the automatic print leveling feature (3 point). Then reread my previous post on leveling the x axis

    ^like he said...
    uncheck the 3 point thing. You can't have matter control using its auto leveling AND Robo doing its own. It conflicts.

    Also, ensure that your Z carriage is level along the x axis.. or that the x axis is level. That can be maddening. Sometimes it messes with the auto level if its off enough to bind at the bottom and it always makes your prints a tiny bit off. Shut off the machine with the carriage up in the air and measure. Turn the screws to make it go up and down.

    There no option in the software to turn either of them off. Not from what i can see. It is matter control version 1.2.1

    hmmmmmmm 1.2.2 or 1.2.1? That is baffling. I mean.. I'm not pulling your leg... That's a picture of matter control 1.2.1. Downloading 1.2.2 now.

    looks like you have a GUI problem... I'd re-install.. and update.
    is that the version that came with the printer? Its not that big a deal... just comes with the settings.. maybe robo killed the auto print settings.

    SO.. did you EVER have it and did you EVER configure it?

    I think its exploded...

    yea.. its dead.. Repetier (materslicer's donor) is buggy a bit with the settings.
    try re-installing.. if that doesn't work.. hunt down the appdata in the appdata folder and kill that too and re-install.

    Free ain't always free..

    CuraEngine doesn't have a Z offset option.

    If you deleted the profile and made a new one you're fine. Just don't do the 3 point if it asks.

    ya don't always get what ya pay for, but ya alway pay for what ya get? Ok.. there's some good crowd sourced stuff out there.. but usually when a commercial entity picks it up, its better...
    only argument you get is, tinkerers wanting to tinker and price hikes that don't make up the difference from free to paid. S3D is one of those. BMW is one of those. Its the price you have to pay, but the value curve has a big jump along the price axis.
