Printing failure after filament color changing
Hello. I have successfully printed hundreds of designs with different colors using manual filament change until tonight. I can't understand why after I change the filament, the nozzle no longer starts from the last point, but shifts about 2-3 cm to the right. Somehow Mini no longer remembers where the model is located and where the fort nozzle is in the last point. Any idea?
RE: Printing failure after filament color changing
Does the X axis move smoothly across the whole length?
or does it resist movement in places?
sometimes the axis gets sticky. especially at the extremes of travel
Cleaning and re-lubricating often help

RE: Printing failure after filament color changing
Thanks for your reply, it was very helpful. I was really having a problem with the X axis. That little knob on the left end (where the belt end is) has a screw that was too tight and shouldn't be too tight. I solved the problem, the printer prints very well, but I still get a verification error in the Self Test on the X axis. Anyway, for this problem I saw that there is a separate topic that I will study.
