Doesn't happen every print and I don't see any pattern to it.
What could cause this?

I can't help but be a little confused

#

eh you know what? I'll ask for forgiveness later

#

@rigid isle howdy
you're the pretty much the only person providing help in the forum part for the server
would you mind taking a look at my issue?

rigid isle
#

if you fill out the form 😄

#

@woven raven und zur not wenn ich mit der vermutung richtig lieg auch auf deutsch XD

woven raven
#

I'm Dutch not Deutsch, so English would work better for me

#

what form?
I haven't seen any form confused_Dog

#

oh in #knowledge-base📌
I uh hadn't looked at that channel

#

if I had to pick one, maybe the bottom left?
I don't think that really matches my issue though

#

the shape should be | | | | | | |but is```

|```

#

it doesn't repeat in a pattern, just happened twice near the bottom of the print

#

it's not a single layer, but several that are offset linearly one way, and then back to normal

#

the two areas where it happened are identical to each other

#

I haven't done any prints since this one, and probably won't until I can afford a better printer
would be nice to fix it before finding a new owner though
other than this issue I don't think there's anything wrong with it at the moment

rigid isle
#

and which printer?

#

you know i made the form to get all infos at once and not getting them step by step 😄

woven raven
#

oops I didn't see the top half of the form
the pictures drew my attention

#

I'm a bit sleep deprived

#

anyway it's an Ender-3 Pro, using PLA Tough (a kind of PLA+ I think)

#

not sure how to describe what settings I use
I could send my OrcaSlicer profile and project if it helps
or my printer.cfg (I'm running Klipper off an old laptop)

rigid isle
#

Then its usally z binding

woven raven
#

thanks, I'll give that a watch

#

I think it started when I switched to direct drive

#

hm no I don't think the layers are squished more, they're not wider, but rather offset on the Y axis

rigid isle
#

Did you check the gcode preview

woven raven
#

yeah it's perfectly smooth, no random Y offsets there

#

perhaps it's just because the printer is filthy
I'm not sure how to clean the parts I can't reach (like under the bed)
and I'm worried if I clean the Z axis it won't slide well anymore

rigid isle
#

You sure that the z axis is not tilted etc?

woven raven
#

oh it could be tilted or crooked or something, but I wouldn't know how to recognize that

rigid isle
#

You take a side view image and ifnits not paralel to the frame its tilted

woven raven
rigid isle
#

Yeah you have the faulty motormount and a bend carriage

#

For the motormount there are files on thingiverse and thr carriage can be bend back into shape

woven raven
#

this may sound stupid, but would you mind drawing on the photo?
I'm not sure where either of those things are, or how you could tell those issues from just a picture (impressive though)
