✅ - warped print on the z axis

[earnest aurora]

Hello, does anyone know why this would happen, it looks like it warped after printing? It’s pla+ at 210c and the bed is 65c, this has never happened before.

Can you show the slice

[earnest aurora]

I can re-slice it if you’d like?

[flat monolith]

Its just hard to know exactly what might be wrong without knowing how it was oriented on the printer

[earnest aurora]

It was along the x axis so the bed didn’t have to move as much

[flat monolith]

But this seems like a mechanical issue, which can be belt tightness, roller tightness, out-of-square frame, etc

[earnest aurora]

I’ll try tightening my belts, thank you for your help 👍

[earnest aurora]

Hello, I’ve tightened my belts and have made sure everything is square, the frame is solid with no wobbles either. Do you think a draft could cause something like this during printing?

[flat monolith]

It would have to be a pretty strong draft

Have you calibrated your printer?

[earnest aurora]

Fair enough

[earnest aurora]

Yeah

[valid echo]

Can you show us your calibration prints, something like a cal cube or the like?

This could also be a few things, least of which is underextrusion or bad temps

[earnest aurora]

Yeah sure thing, I’ll get one printing

[earnest aurora]

Okay so it is definitely a lot worse than I imagined, I have some others that I printed before that look much better but this obviously shows I need to do some maintenance
