Use the manual controls to move the y-axis a known distance (e.g. 10mm). See how far it moves.

If you've changed the stepper driver from half-steps to full steps, the y-axis will double.

There's a setting in the firmware for the x, y and z axes - it's in steps per mm. If it's exactly double, then try halving the number. (e.g. 8.7 steps/mm change to 4.35steps/mm)

Also, try generating the G-Code for a simple 10mm block and see if the numbers are correct (if it's generating moves to 10, 20 then it's the software that's wrong).

by resizing the image it kind of worked but i rather not have to download and re size all the time.

yeah see that's what i was thinking but its so strange its like it become totally deformed on the y axis.

Wow, I have no idea what could cause that… O_o

I have a cheap-hack work-around, though: import the STL into Blender, hit s for scale, y for y-axis constraint, and hold down ctrl as you drag the mouse until your object is half sized. Export back to STL and print.

Anyone know how to *really* fix this error? I'd be terribly interested…

For some reason when i print my objects they become elongated. like there stretched in length. The width is perfect my the length my y axis become deformed. Dose anyone have an idea why this might happen. For example i printed a Lego brick from thingiverse and its doubled in length when printed.
