Warped prints

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm pretty new to 3d printing so please bear with me if i do not know how to describe or call things out but hopefully someone can help me. I tried printing a bridging test but the end part of it does not look right. The layers are not aligned/warped.

I have had my printer for 2 months now and didnt have any problems with it but recently(last week) i tried moving my printer while printing and i held the printer under the z motors and i heard a weird grinding like noise and I thought that may have contributed to this problem. I want to know if my problem could be caused by the previously mentioned situation or if it is just a print setting issue.

RE: Warped prints

Run your XYZ calibration again and first layer Z.  There is a good chance you just displaced the axes a little.

Cheerio,

Thanks for the suggestion however it did not work and the issue seems to getting progressively worse. I have tried multiple times now and now i am just getting a birds nest on the first few layers

I reached out to Prusa because I thought something was wrong with the printer as it got progressively worse. Steve from Prusa suggested I wash the bed twice with dish soap and hot water then finish it with IPA. He also helped fix my first layer height as i made the nozzle closer and closer when troubleshooting which made it worse.

My take away from this is that constant IPA is not enough. The print now looks great

Please show us a picture of the first layer on the bed - and the underside of a print.

Cheerio,
