…How’d you get the beans above the frank?
Seriously though, there’s also damage/wear on the PTFE clip and side of the e-chain, so something has happened in this printer’s life that wasn’t right.
There is nearly zero chance the printer came this way from the factory. Someone has tried to work on this printer.
This is easy to fix, you’ll need to disconnect the cable from the printer head, unloop the chain, then reconnect everything.
Did you buy it new or used? It’s hard to imagine it leaving the factory like that. But maybe?
It was brand new.
Though when I got it straightened out, did not see any change in print quality,
Somehow came like that. It was pretty easy to fix, just pulled off the PTFE tube, and rotated the part around, thankfully the clasp on the chain was not broken and it is working. Unfortunately that did not help any of the print quality.
You didn’t say anything about print quality.
What’s the issue?
I am getting some very weird offsets in the z-axis, But it was only near the front right of the build plate, where the door closes. The print has 2 area that stick up 8”, but they are only roughly 0.75”x1.5” the one at the back left prints perfect the one at the front right will print perfect for a while, then get some banding that was repeating at 6mm, it doesnt start till about half way up. My thought was that the chain would bind just enough the knock the printhead slightly off on the Y-axis
I did grease the z-axis rods with white lithium grease, and had to reseat one of the silicone caps on top the rod that was at the front right. Also aligned the x-y belt and retensioned. Will know in about 6 hours if that helps.
`Only other item I was thinking, I print with the top cover off and the PTFE tube would get caught somehow, not sure though.
