My prints are failing. Belt tension?
Hi all,
My prusa mk3 has been printing perfectly untill a few weeks ago. Now the first line it prints is not smooth anymore and when i do a calibration print, the lines are not straight. First i thought it could be the tension on the belt, but that seems fine from the readout on the lcd screen.
Anyone an idea what this could be?
RE: My prints are failing. Belt tension?
The two things obvious from your pictures are that your first layer 'Z' calibration is far too high, you need a lot more squish and that there is a buildup of something on your print sheet - a thorough clean is in order.
If your printer has been OK for a while something has changed, most likely is that you have knocked your PINDA out of position so if the 'Z' calibration is unsuccessful it might be worth resetting it; see step 17 of: https://help.prusa3d.com/guide/how-to-replace-superpinda-mk3s-mk3s_179920

If problems remain, come back and we'll look closer.
Cheerio,
