New to MK4 - Problems with first prints - extrusion???

Hi everyone - i just got my new MK4 ad was hoping to get an easy start - but thats not the case.

I think there is some sort of extrusion problem which im unable to locate.

I first updated the firmware to 5.01 - but downgraded to 4.7 to check if it was related to a firmware issue.

I checked the belt tension (as i had several layer shifts) and after setting the belt tension to the right value i got no more layer shifts.

But: I get a terrible print result... 🙁

I changed to a 0.6 nozzle (thats the nozzle i will use for my production)

Any ideas what to do next?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Cheers - Peter

Thats how my prints look like:

Hi everyone - got some help from the chat support.

Seems like most of the problems were related to the input shaper. One belt was not aligned perfectly - and we also fixed that.

Switching off IS solved nearly all of the problems.

Hope this helps others as well - not sure whee IS is going - would safe me 20-30% of printing time - but so far the results in my case are not good... Quality decreases a lot - on the surfaces and at the edges!

Any similar experiences?

 

Take care - and happy printing!

 

Peter
