Just becasue you auto leved doesnt mean you are ready. you need to set your z off set too

you are too close.

[tired sandal]

The z offset is at .5

[tired sandal]

@wanton spade

[wanton spade]

Seems too much. Tweak it.

[tired sandal]

I can only tweak it in .5 increments

[wanton spade]

course. ugh...

try 1 i guess

[tired sandal]

I might have found the issue somehow the x axis stability arm came loose on one side I just tightened it back down let’s see if that fixed the problem

[wanton spade]

ooo good find

[tired sandal]

Cross your fingers

Cause it has been laying down some funky lines here recently I just thought it was a bad nozzle I’ve switched it out twice and ordered a new horned today thinking that was issue if it was a loose bolt I’m going to flip

[tired sandal]

Yeah that wasn’t it

[tired sandal]

@wanton spade I bought a new hotend because I read that someone changed it out and started working fine again

[wanton spade]

idk doesnt make sense. Wish i knew more about the printer. Maybe take your hot end appart and re assemble?

[tired sandal]

Yeah I’m seriously at a loss after getting out the clog that was in the hotend it hasn’t worked right since

[wanton spade]

maybe see if there is a better firmware that allows finer Z off sets?

[smoky robin]

How often do you change the nozzle? I have the same printer

[tired sandal]

@smoky robin I haven’t changed it since march of last year

[smoky robin]

I have realized that I have to change the nozzle fairly often on it. Also see if the rollers on the x axis are still steady and clean

[tired sandal]

Okay

[smoky robin]

They might have loosened. I’d tighten some stuff, then re level. And I normally keep mine at either 0 or -.5

[tired sandal]

Anything else you can tell me about it would be helpful

Okay thank you still new to the printer so I have basically been keeping it like it is in cura settings

[smoky robin]

Oh, yeah. Gotta tweak those a little. But as far as leveling that won’t be cura too much

You may also have to tighten the bolts under a little. And are you cleaning the nozzle before each print

[tired sandal]

Yeah I run filament through it before every print

[smoky robin]

Try some different stuff and let me know if it works

[tired sandal]

@smoky robin so I changed out the whole hotend and this is what I get now

Also put the offset to 0

[tired sandal]

Bed level test

[tired sandal]

So I made a profile on cura for a content creator stuff and was running that went back to the factory version of cura and look at it now

[smoky robin]

This is factory settings?

Try at -.5

I’d also try a level and make sure the bed didn’t warp

[tired sandal]

@smoky robin yes this is basic version of cura I tried it a .5 nothing came out and I’ll try the level in a minute

[smoky robin]

No. I mean try it at negative .5

[tired sandal]

That’s what I meant to say sorry I’m on a 72 hr night shift

[smoky robin]

Gotcha.

[tired sandal]

@smoky robin the problem has been fixed I wound up being a bunch of small things which led to a big thing but I got it fixed thank you for your help with this

[smoky robin]

What happened?

[tired sandal]

@smoky robin a series of bolts being lose the hotend having a leak and having to replace that and other little things

[smoky robin]

Gotcha. I was thinking the loose bolts. And I also had to change my hot end. Glad you got it working!

[tired sandal]

@smoky robin I appreciate the help
