layer shifting

[unkempt marsh]

i have a ender 3 plus, only 2 months old.

im pretty sure the belts arent meant to look this worn either

ignore the print, but this is the settings im using for the helm sunlu pla+

[fresh plover]

no the belts should not be like that

check if one of your rollers got loose or is miss alinged

about the layer shift ... can you mark it? i have to lie i dont see one

[unkempt marsh]

this should be a straight vertical print

[fresh plover]

ah

[fresh plover]

you sure its not z binding? or the heatbed temp going up and down

i would try moving that gear up 1 or 2 mm

[unkempt marsh]

what gear? kinda new to this sorry

[fresh plover]

the one in the video you just posted the silver part where your belt is on

[unkempt marsh]

heat bed goes to 59 60 59 ...etc

oh u can move it

[fresh plover]

its screwd onto the shaft yes with two inset grub screws

[unkempt marsh]

ill try n find a vid

[unkempt marsh]

ef me this is causing more probs than its worth

3d printing ugh

[fresh plover]

ehh the problem is rather the creality printer believe me. without creality printers shite we would have way less people XD

about the wooble ... can you send me the gcode you used? i want to check something

[unkempt marsh]

u from the uk? can i just pay u to come here n fix it lmao ive been having this prob for a while

[fresh plover]

no im from germany i would be more expensive then the printer

[fresh plover]

i would need the gcode not the stl

gcode is what you put on your printer

[unkempt marsh]

oh the sd is still in the printer and its printing atm

[fresh plover]

you can reslice it?

anyway since your layershift is with an significant change in colour i think you had rapid speed changes causing the extrusion to have trouble extruding at a stable temperature

whats your print temp?

[unkempt marsh]

210/60

print speed is 60 also

[fresh plover]

hmm

thats not much but it is a crealty ...s1?

(not the pro edition)

[unkempt marsh]

s1 plus

[fresh plover]

so allmetal hotend?

[unkempt marsh]

i believe so

doesnt let me send the file cos its too big

for gcode

[fresh plover]

okay so thats one possible explanation. the allmetalhotend needs at least +10 more temp due lower thermal transfer rate

you can upload it to a google drive or so

[unkempt marsh]

with this do u mean the 2 big coiled bolts

[fresh plover]

should look similar to this

[fresh plover]

at least something under the cover of the first image

that with the gcode will take a while because due its size and software limitation ... it has loding times as heck

i hate it that the slicers are sometimes signle core

[unkempt marsh]

ngl am scared to touch them screws u said about haha

i cant find a vid on it

[fresh plover]

https://tenor.com/view/im-outta-here-gif-20990964

i mean you only slight ly move the gear on the motors shaft and tighten the srews down again

[unkempt marsh]

lool cura seems to take ages with everything for me

[fresh plover]

in that case its very large file and cura is using multicore but not always

[unkempt marsh]

when i tightened the screws on the x axis it made it a lil better but still not right

[fresh plover]

[unkempt marsh]

this is a new print of the same file btw

[fresh plover]

what do you say does the wobble alling roughly with the orange lines

[unkempt marsh]

sorry i dont understand the question,

[fresh plover]

the orange lines are the travel path of your print head

its possible with a mode call combing that it causes ood movement resulting in the wobble / shifts you see

[unkempt marsh]

is that related to why that line of fillament is there inside the helm

[fresh plover]

possible yes

im currently trying to find out if you use combing 🙂

because it has several versions resulting in different tool paths

[unkempt marsh]

this problem hasnt just happened either ive had this prob with alot of my prints but not as bad as this

[fresh plover]

that means either hardware or a slicer issue

in your slicer there is a searchbar

you can type combing in there and tell me if its on or off

[unkempt marsh]

that vid u sent didnt have any info of adjusting the back motor thing u were talking about?

[fresh plover]

jep its about ruling out an ohter hardware issue

but my suggestion is combing

[unkempt marsh]

ah ok

change my combing mode?

[fresh plover]

you can do 2 things

turning combing off

and or print a 10 cm high cylinder

[unkempt marsh]

https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/cylindre

[fresh plover]

sure just scale it up in your slicer 🙂

also you can use vase mode

[unkempt marsh]

so combing being turned off wont knock into aready printed parts

[fresh plover]

if everything works no

thats why i want you to test for the mechanical issue

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBiTCBVSBdE

that video is great about it

[unkempt marsh]

yh thats the one i wated

[fresh plover]

the problem is that there are mostly several reasons for each issue

[unkempt marsh]

my bro in law has the same printer as me, hes the one that sent me the file for the helm. i literally copied his settings and his came out perfect

[fresh plover]

yeah but i would never run a strangers gcode

for the futere

[unkempt marsh]

his combing is the same as mine

[fresh plover]

even if its the same machine

[unkempt marsh]

ah ok

[fresh plover]

for example if your bro did a pid tune .. its already running differently

or if he got lucky and the chinese slave child assembling the printer had 2 rice corns that day and did it correctly 😄

id say 95% im fixing creality printers here :/

[unkempt marsh]

ive emailed them about the belt btw but theyre terrible at replying

i emailed them thursday

[fresh plover]

i dont know if the video about the zbinding checks for that. you need to make sure that the leadscrew and the motor shaft dont touch each other inside the coupler. thats one thing thats often wrong

[unkempt marsh]

the gold bit doesnt touch the silver cylider bit? is that what ur saying

[fresh plover]

you can also check if the top part is at an nice 90° angle and brass part is tight

[unkempt marsh]

ignore my 3d printing dumb language lmao

[fresh plover]

sofar no harm done you did not ask what filament is.. and yes that happens more often then you think

the part i talk about is the thing above the stepper motor

it allows a little flex

but only if the upper spindle is not all the way down

[unkempt marsh]

googling stepper motor loool

oh ok

the silver cylinder

[fresh plover]

coupler

[unkempt marsh]

so the stepper motor hitting the coupler

omg i annoy myself

[fresh plover]

eh its a lot of stuff and nobody tells you so still fine

also no

the coupler transmits the movement from the motor to the leadscrew

as its second function it can compensate minor misallingments

but only if it can move

and if the leadscrew is all the way down into the coupler so it sits on the stepper motors shaft that function is lost

[unkempt marsh]

sorry which one is the leadscrew, the brass one

[fresh plover]

no thats usally a t8 leadscrew nut

the thing inside it is the lead screw

[unkempt marsh]

i think it is in there

this might be abit farfetched, but could it be that the pla roll isnt getting pulled enough? light the roll is too tight

[fresh plover]

normaly the extruder is pretty tight

and ithat would be a more visible issue

[unkempt marsh]

so raise the leadscrew up so it isnt in the stepper

might be abit of a silly question but whenever i lower the % of a build in cura this has happened

i lowered this helm to 95%

[fresh plover]

no that should not be an issue

scaleing rarely causes that issue

[unkempt marsh]

the worst of the problems is the face part of the helm the front of the printer seems to be alot worse than the back

[fresh plover]

that can be a coincidence if only one of the issues we talked about is there

anyway its late

[unkempt marsh]

yeh man sorry about this

[fresh plover]

no problem. try the fixes i told you and then let me know if one worked 🙂

[unkempt marsh]

ill try the things u said, if not then imma throw it accrss the roomo

[fresh plover]

you are british you shank it or ship it to austrailia 😄

[unkempt marsh]

or take it as a slave

ohp

[fresh plover]

i think with chinese stuff it was more opiod wars 😄

anyway good night and good luck 🙂

[unkempt marsh]

haha

goodnight

[unkempt marsh]

Hey mate u there

How loose is this meant to be @fresh plover

[fresh plover]

the bras part?

not an milimeter

[unkempt marsh]

Not an millimetre?

So super tight?

[fresh plover]

you still havent told me wich part

[unkempt marsh]

Oh the brass bit

Ignore my disgusting hands, just got back from work

[fresh plover]

id say that should not move

[unkempt marsh]

so
