Solved Printing Problems Following Installing LCD XXL

So, I recently purchased the SMART LCD CONTROLLER XXL from PrintedSolid.

I installed it in two of my R1s and it seems to control the printer fine, except once I started printing a calibration bridge, I realized that it is having troubles.

It appears as if the Z-axis is getting off. It worked fine before the install and no longer worked after. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

 

Looks like a lack of cooling to me. Is the parts fan running?

 

I did not reload the firmware. I thought that the LCD XXL was enabled by default in the Robo 3D firmware.
It does appear as if the fan is not working. I am testing a print now with the fan enabled, but I don't understand why it isn't enabled by default on the LCD Controller.

 

I meant in the gcode. When I ran things before the LCD, the fan was on. When I run it through the LCD, the fan is off unless I force it on through the LCD.

 

Ok, ignore everything about the fan. That was barking up the wrong tree. The fan is working and it is still having issues. I undid the LCD controller and tried it again and had the same issues. See attached pics.

Notice how the holes are bigger than they should be. (they should be square). This makes me think its a z-axis problem. Perhaps I messed something up when I tilted the printer over to install the LCD. How might I reset the z-axis?

 

What's your print speed?

Try just a regular cal cube

 

Regular Cal cube printed perfectly fine.

 

try this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:56003

 

Printed fine.

 

Got a picture?

and what are your print settings

 

Unfortunately, no. I had access to Imageshack to post pictures, but my district just blocked it. (I am a teacher.) I don't see a way to upload directly to the forum, and I can't access any other image hosting sites, so no posting pictures. Are there any problems you were looking for?

Do you not see upload a file next to post reply?

 

Wow, I can't believe I missed that. Here it is.

 

Ok it does look like something is up with the Z axis on that. Do you have an R1 plus?

Measure the height of each step, should be 5mm The top looks a little distorted from lack of cooling as well

 

Yes I do have R1s. I left the print at school, so when I get there tomorrow I will check the height.
