I just printed a star for my Spanish Nativity project (the previous star broke). Since the print was small, I printed it with a raft.
After it was done printing, I noticed it had shifted about 1-2 cm diagonally to the right:
I’m mostly sure it’s a problem with the print head, because it’s happened before with a bigger print.
Also, I have the printer head get stuck on/near the side of the printer (another problem on a different topic) and that when I move it over by hand, it gets harder to move the closer it is. This may be the problem, because the head could get shifted this way.
Please help me figure out how to fix this, and how to prevent it.
Feel free to ask me if you need me to clarify something. Thanks!
This is exactly the problem. You need to figure out why the head is hard to move in that spot. Do you have any modifications such as a PTFE guide installed or perhaps the PTFE tube is too short?
my X1C recently started giving me warnings of unexpected high resistance of the x axis. I created a support ticket and they sent me a new x axis assembly. Exchanging it was several hours of work, but now it is running again perfectly. The old x axis was really stiff compared to the new one and i was wondering how it was still able to print at all.
Maybe you have the same issue but it isn’t bad enough yet to throw an error?
Mine is doing something VERY similar, but in the -X axis… I was moving the head around via the motion screen, and it was making some rather bad noises when it was moved into the right rear corner. Was yours doing this?
No, but it was hard to move near the left side. When it got stuck (it happened several times), it was making lots grinding sounds whenever it tried moving away. It was completely fine with moving forward/backward even when it was stuck, but not left and right.
When I homed it, it said the build plate was I the wrong position, but it was clearly the head. (The head was still stuck on the side, and couldn’t go to the center)
