Why does my printer do that?
Why does my printer do that? 30mm is more than a gear jumped?
He likes to do when many parts are to be printed.
My Belts are straining a guitar string, the screws in the gear are fixed. ...
Re: Why does my printer do that?
seems like a so called layer shift (in x direction).
there are a few issues which may cause such a layer shift:
- the x-motor pulley is slipping
- the x-belt is blocked somewhere (maybe at the idler, because the tension is to high) or to tight
- the x-belt is to loose
- the nozzle kicks some upcurling plastics from the last printed layer
- the pinda kicks some upcurling plastics from the last printed layer
- a tangled filament at the spool hinders the extruder carriage in movement
- a blocked spool causes the filament to hinder the extruder carriage in its movement
- a printed part came loose (due to bad first layer adhesion) and interferes with the extruder carriage
my recommendation: record the printing process with a timelapse video. easy with octoprint or a gopro (or similar).
