Re: Print Issues (with picture)
Did they break near the extruder or the Control box?
Hi guys, I printed this castle for the first time at 70% speed on low power mode and the first half turned out fine. The top has a beading pattern and falls apart easily. What could be causing this?
I just got done solving this problem. It was hell. Anyways, your issue looks exactly like mine.
Do this test:
Move the extruder near where ot fails most often. Then run a long extrusion command like load filament. While it is extruding, move the cable harness around.
It your motor starts acting up, it's an issue with your extruder motor cable breaking. I had to solder together the cables where they were bending to fix the problem.

Right behind the x axis bearings. One of the zip ties was the culprit. The wire was very bent, i couldn't see any physical tear, but i cut out that section and soldered it back together and now it works.
Im out of town for work or i'd send pics :/
Re: Print Issues (with picture)
Hey there. I know I'm late to the party and all that, but it seems like there's a "convex ring" in your build plate. I used to have a problem with ABS sticking way too hard to the build plate, and when warping it pulled the PEI sheet slightly away from the build platform making a slightly taller surface right where the part was stuck. This caused the otherwise perfect bed level to be off target when the nozzle traveled over these ridges, and this ruined the first layer of the following prints.
I solved this by finding something flat and hard (like tempered glass) and a vice where I would heat the bed to around 110C and tighten the vice slightly and let it cool down while tightening to keep a constant pressure. I did this 3 times and got to a point where the next prints would stick perfectly again.
