Printer misaligns X-Axis and Squirts out weirdness

Hi all,

I've created the following video.

I don't know what has changed, but suddenly the printer only produces this:

(Video)

If anyone knows, thanks.

Kind regards,
Chris

Most likely the one or both of the belt pulleys is loose. Can you check those please?

Hi Peter,

thanks for the reply, but as seen in the video, the belts are quite tight. I will however check the one on the bottom (Y-Axis) as well.

Kind regards,
Chris

PJR meant pulleys on motor shafts, not belts :-). And he is propably right.

Hi Guys,

first up .. thanks a lot for the help.

Will now re-check the metal wheels as well.

I figured out what the problem was... printing dirt had accumulated on the bed's sliding rods... that got the bed stuck...

Issue is closed... will open a new one next time i get stuck..your support was great.

Kind regards,
Chris
