I notice that my support structure is merging into my body structure.  I know you can change the offset between extruders, right now it is -44.30X  0 Y.   The body print is extruder 1 (0,0) and the support is 2.   Should I change these, oh say, -42.3,  -2.  I am guessing the crashing of the machine has messed this up when the coupler between the z axis and the servo was loose when I first got it.

 

Thanks,

There is a neat way to calculate the offset using a clever vernier style gauge that you print on the machine 

the manual and part download are here

As per usual, the PDF export barfs with a "Failure to read template yadda, yadda, yadda... "; same as before when I went to archive other manuals..
