Yes, I saw the thread posted by the other person who had problems with layers shifting. The problem is that I really don't understand the solution, other than possibly updating my firmware? According to my computer, the version of Arduino that I have installed is 1.0.5-12. That is the latest version, right?
I don't know how to check the stepper driver pentometers, and I don't know how to use the latest slic3r configuration file with slic3r RC2. What is RC2? I thought the program was just called "slic3r."
And if the problem lies with my extrusion multiplier setting, then I really don't know what to do. Gordon wrote,
" If you use the latest config file, and since you have a printer released prior to jan 30th 2014, make sure to go to "Filament Settings > Filament" and set the extrusion multiplier to 0.85"
I received my printer about a month ago (in May). According to Gordon, the new firmware uses the 1.0 multiplier. But maybe I need to change my multiplier setting?? Where is "filament settings > filament?" On the LCD screen of the printer? If it's there, I have no idea how to find it. Gordon, can you please give me the entire location of the setting; not just the last two folders?
So really, what do I do?
Here's a photo of what happened with my print. I tried to print the letter "B" in PLA. As you can see, the layers are shifted really badly:
