First Print - I am sure that this is not right.

I just finished my assembly of the Mk3S and I made a print of the first file on the provided SD card.

I am guessing that the model shifted at about the middle of the print, but I am not sure what else caused this print to come out like this.

Please let me know what you think could be the cause -- that is after you finish laughing... 🤣 🤣 🤣 

Thank you.

Did you use the proper material to match the settings in the gcode?

 

Maybe a material mismatch with the temperature settings?

I just looked at the files on my card.  Seems like most of them are for PLA.    Was that what you used?

Thanks for the replies.

I used the 'Silver' PLA roll that came with the basic kit and I noted the 210 degrees setting for PLA.

Check your belts, they seem like they are slipping. Tighten all of the screws and try again.
