Is that meant to go on the right side? (I figure it should be easy to mirror to mount it on the left...)

I know that the wires from the heated bed should go to the back of the printer (short cable run), is safe to tape them to the reverse side so the text printed on the bed is facing forward? Or the underside get too hot for the wiring?

As uploaded it mounts on the right, but you can mirror it in your slicer if you want to mount it on the left. It should work fine either way.
I don't mount it on the left, because I have the X-axis belt tensioner mounted over there.

What belt tensioner do you use on your printer?
I was going to start printing this one: Prusa i3 X Belt Tensioner

OK, this isn't specific to the Folger, but I thought it might be of interest. I was using Cura for the first time recently instead of Slic3r and was wondering why the print time is so much less. I have the speed set slightly higher in Cura than in Slic3r, but only by a small amount. The critical difference turned out to be the minimum layer time. In Slic3r, this is on the Filament Setting page, Cooling tab. It defaults to 30s. Cura uses 15s for the equivalent. Changing this in Slic3r reduced the time on one sample print from 64 minutes to 36. Not sure what effect it will have yet on layer delamination.

I recently setup my Folger Tech 2020 i3 and my prints are dragging through already printed layers creating a line through them. Anybody have an idea on how to fix this?
Printer settings:
* PLA
* 0.4mm layer height
* 60 degrees bed and 185 hot end
* Steps per mm: x=80 y=80 z=4000 e=90
* Max feedrate: x=250 y=250 z=2 e=22
* Max acceleration: x=1000 y=1000 z=5 e=1000
Thanks

Howdy! So I'm on day two of my build and just started on step 6, however I don't seem to have the "3 printed bearing mounts" or anything like it. Am I missing something painfully obvious?

There should be in a bag that say "printed parts". The inside cover of the box that the kit came in has a checklist of stuff that was supposed to be included in the box. See if "printed parts" or something similar is crossed out. I would re-look through all of the packages to see if you missed it. If you cannot find it and they did not cross it out, I would definitely contact FT asap.

Did you run through all calibrations?
Yes, I have, but I'm suspecting that my Z-axis is calibrated slightly too low. I'm re calibrating it now.

There's a new problem with my prints now. When printing, the filament will extrude, but the melted plastic will just be dragged as the print head moves. I think my Z-axis still might be too high, but I'm not sure. I've already tried lowering the speed.

My extruder was in a small box, and the printed parts on a small bag label "i3" (I don't think that there was any shipping list, but each bag is clearly marked with the content description and quantities)... for what I have read if you contact FolgerTech they will take care of the problem.

Anybody having issues with ramp board itself? I've been try to troubleshooting my X axis, sometime it moves and sometime it doesn't, usually it only moves one direction. I swapped the driver boards, and swapped X with Y motor & wire and am still having the same issue so I thinking the problem lies with the X part of the board. Maybe a cracked cuz I not seeing any cold or poorly solder spots on the board. Almost need a reflow oven just to be sure. Thinking about ordering a spare board but I'm wanting one from a different source. Haven't been happy with the quality control of the 2 boards from FT.

Thanks, I sent them an email hopefully I can finish assembling this soon.

I believe the solution to this problem was outlined on this page by woodknack. It also most likely has to do with your printer setting in rep-host. Here is a picture of mine for a reference
It may have to be modified abit to go with your printer setup and marlin config
