                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Prusa plaque and to a lesser extent, the spatula, are designed to be easy to print and to succeed on most new builds as a confidence boost.</p><p>The benchy is a torture test to be used to check most of the parameters affected by fine tuning, frankly, a perfect benchy, whilst good, is irrelevant on a newly built machine as most of the fine tuning will drift as the printer shakes down and runs-in.  All the initial setting up will have to be rechecked at your first monthly maintenance session after which there is a good chance the machine will remain stable indefinitely.</p><p>The Bonkers Benchy is just that, bonkers, it is a nod to a minority sport racing to produce a benchy in minimal time - in the process it loses most of the benchy's useful diagnostic properties and just produces a flimsy, useless, trinket.  That said, it is only printable on a perfectly calibrated machine but may well stress that machine so much that it needs attention before attempting a second one.</p><p>I am going to ignore your first Bonkers Benchy, it's quite good for a new build.  Your second and third Benchy's suggest the first shook loose a slight misbuild.</p><p>Check the tension in your belts.  If they have not come loose take a look at Step 26 of:  https://help.prusa3d.com/guide/3-x-axis-x-carriage-assembly_707749</p><p>(and the equivalent step for the Y motor) Did you make sure the grub screw faced the flat on the motor shaft?</p><p>Cheerio,</p><p> </p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello community,</p><p>I became the owner of the Prusa MK4S. Very happy (and relieved) to have finished assembling the printer.</p><p>I performed the self test and everything was ok. I updated the firmware, I am in 6.1.4+7908.</p><p>So I tested a few prints to get an idea of ​​the machine's performance. Unfortunately, everything did not go well.</p><p>Indeed my first impression was perfect in my eyes.</p><p><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2024/11/9310c03e-orig.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-171650" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2024/11/9310c03e-orig-600x500.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="500" /></a></p><p>Then I tried the BonkersBenchy and there I had my first fault.</p><p><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2024/11/4065da8d-bch8_12.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-171651" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2024/11/4065da8d-bch8_12-600x500.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="500" /></a> <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2024/11/e863354d-bch8_11.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-171652" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2024/11/e863354d-bch8_11-600x500.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="500" /></a></p><p>Then I tried spatula and again no problem. But immediately, I tried the BenchyRules and again the lag problem, but this time much more pronounced. Not having enough filament left, I gave up printing.</p><p><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2024/11/9f41b735-spat.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-171653" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2024/11/9f41b735-spat-600x500.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="500" /></a></p><p><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2024/11/95b36519-bch14.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-171655" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2024/11/95b36519-bch14-600x500.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="500" /></a></p><p>This morning, new attempt on the BonkersBenchy and another big shift in layers but the printing ends.</p><p><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2024/11/22f137e7-bch8_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-171654" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2024/11/22f137e7-bch8_2-600x500.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="500" /></a></p><p>I'm quite perplexed and lost.
