First level calibration. Y level wobbly
Hello
I had to change the nozzle and since then I have problems getting a first level calibration properly done. It is by far not the first time I do a first level calibration but I am stuck. If you look at the picture you see that the extrusion seems to be wobbly and if I look at the "endplate" there are big gaps in the print. I of course tuned the 7 but for me it look like the stepper is off. I factory reset, wizarded and tried different filamend and print-plates. I simply cannot get it decent again. If you look at the y axes, it seems like the motor is not smoothly moving and that might screw up the extrusion?
Any thoughts?

Sometimes formulating the problem helps solving it. I am not sure what did the trick but:
- Exchanged the PTF tube in the extruder - the end looked somehow fuzzy
- opened up the door in the extruder and retightened it, so that the head of the screw is flat with the exterior
- Retightened the belt
- Tightened the brass ends of the tubes connecting the extruder with the motor
tadaaaaaaa - nice first layer calibration. I personally think that it was the beld and that the door was too tight or had something in there. The filament looked a bit gnawed on. Then again, maybe it was everything plus whatever... it works again.... happy to finally finish my print.
