new firmware, really weird axis behavior

The latest repetier firmware has completely messed up my axis(s) - my z axis thinks it is Y, X is inverted and Y thinks it is Z.

A bit of background, I was having trouble getting my prints calibrated. I had just switched to Tricklaser's new delta arms and things were better, but not right. So in searching the forums I found someone who said that after completely deleting the firmware and reinstalling and uploading - it fixed their problems. So, I did that.

Now things are a complete mess. I don't know how to fix this, but I've downloaded the repetier firmware from github and reinstalled 3 times.

Does someone have an earlier version I could try?

thanks,

So, I pulled the old firmware off of a backup (luckily I back regularly) and now it is back to normal.

There is something wrong with the latest firmware version - at least for a printer purchased in March 2013. (old pulleys)

Perhaps you would be willing to zip the version that worked and send it via attachment for others that may experience the same problem?

You bet. Here's my working version:

there is still something off, probably with my printer-radius, since my prints over 2" across come out hour-glass shaped. YMMV.

Thanks for the upload, and it is definitely for the 15 tooth pulley. Not sure what setting needs adjusting for the print problems
you have, perhaps with some pictures of the prints someone on the forum can advise you.
