First print woes
Hello,
My first MK4 print is not going well. The spaghetti below is an attempt without Supports. The remaining images are “Support on build plate only” but still the mess continues. What am I doing wrong?

It's my opinion, but if someone is starting out, they should choose easy prints (and it doesn't matter what kind, some small pieces of something, like small animals or whatever) and only after they get some experience and understand something about setting up the print in the slicer should tackle rather complex dimensional prints. And only then ask here. The query should also include the *.3mf file of the relevant object. That is, if it is not a top secret component of an atomic bomb. But in this case the person would not ask here.🤣

Hard to tell from the fuzzy pictures but it looks like a layer shift. Most likely the belts aren't correctly tightened or a loose grub screw on the motor shaft pulleys. Based on the picture I'd check the X-belt and the X-motor. Use Prusa's handy phone app when tuning the belt.

my bad @Miroslav. I was moving too fast and forgot the source file. No way to add it retroactively 🙁

@nhand42 thanks for the tip. I used the app and belts are finely tuned.
