I was confused (nothing new) by the photo in one of the answers, and wrote an answer addressing the particular problems it demonstrates, only to realize during my review that it wasn't your problem! Pictures help people help you. If you have found the cause, please accept the best answer. It we didn't identify it, you might write and accept your own answer. Our goal is to have a record of great questions and spot-on answers to help the next person. | |

Fixed minor typos, added a few commas to ease readability, added capital are start of title and made the y in y axis consistent.

| Feb 6, 2016 at 0:09 | comment | added | Leo Ervin | FYI, the way stepper motors work is they are always "on", so being pretty warm when even not rotating is normal. That said they can skip steps if too hot, so adding a 4cm heatsink+fan is worth it and isn't hard or expensive. | |
| Feb 5, 2016 at 23:59 | comment | added | Marsh | I know it's an answer to a somewhat different question than you've asked, but one thing you can do to mitigate axis slippage until you can figure out what's causing it is to home the X and Y axes between each layer. This will guarantee that if you slip during one layer, only that layer is off, and the next layer will be lined up correctly again. | |
