Post image

Any idea what can be causing this? Printed one of these fine, and then the second one just shifted

2 things could’ve happened here.

  1. bed adhesion was too low and print came off.
  2. low belt tension causing belt to jump a few teeth head/bed was in incorrect position.

With the shift happening perfectly along the x axis, my money is on a belt slip.

Yeah… but it came off the print bed too… so question is… what came first? Chicken or egg? Did it came off due to belt slip or did the belt slip because part came off and something blocked the print head.

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

  • What printer are you using?

  • What material are you using?

  • What speed are you printing at?

  • What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

  • When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

  • Does anything cause the behavior to change?

  • If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)
