Prints are coming out fine now! Thank you for the help.
Strangely I found that only the top joints were getting tight. The ones around the hot end were as loose as ever. I will replace these as well just to be sure when I get a chance. (oh yeah. In three weeks. Summer break!!!)

Re: Matter Control help - prints not proportional
BINGO! I took the arms off the axis in line with the problem and one of the metal parts is indeed binding. I'll try fixing it now and see how that works out. Can I get replacements or is there a way to keep this from happening? Many thanks to geneb. update: It is seized. I'm in trouble. Need this ...

Re: Matter Control help - prints not proportional
What I've tried so far... I checked the belt tension and the cheapskate adjustments and everything is nice and tight, but the print came out exactly as before. When measuring with calipers, the size of one large hole should be 15mm diameter, but is 14mm x 13mm oval shaped. I'll do another ...

Matter Control help - prints not proportional
I just tried using Matter control for the first time today. It seems awesome and looked like it was doing a terrific job. However, the parts are not proportional to the stl drawings. What I mean for instance is that the calibration cube is not square. It comes out a rectangle. I tried a part with ...

Re: Bowden Tube Failure
Oh. Maybe I can cancel the order.
How long will it take to get one from SeeMeCNC? I think school will be out by then.

Re: Bowden Tube Failure
Yup, the blue one. I could have taken the exact same picture.
Thanks so much for the link. I've ordered for Monday delivery.
We have only one week of school left and so many students still need to print. At least we'll only lose one day.

Re: Bowden Tube Failure
Right now I'm just letting some glue dry on the PTC fitting. I ordered a bag of 10 of these fittings. They are almost impossible to find in Canada, but I managed to find a bag of 10 on Amazon.ca for $7... shipping included. Only problem is waiting a month for them to come in from China. My bowden ...
