print layers move
Posted: Fri Feb 27, 2015 11:35 am
Morning everyone,
having a few problems but this one is the one I cannot figure out. here is my specs
rostock max V1
repetier.91
stock everything no arms no tensioners nothing
using matter control and matter slice
using auto bed leveling in matter control
when I print an object, a single object, centered on the bed it prints a few layers just fine, then maybe 5 layers up the print shifts towards the rear tower for 2 or 3 layers, then it continues to print in its new location over the print. I end up with a step in the print. I have done the calibration steps seemecnc posted on youtube, this of course causes a weak print if it is something with a thin wall like a calibration box.
my first impression is that this is actually a hardware problem, not software (unless the slicer is doing it somehow)... I have checked belt tension, check all the nuts an screws on the carriages, gave them all the wiggle test, check my arms for play, watched the thing like a hawk to see if there was a mechanical problem as it was moving, looking for jarring or popping or anything that would cause this problem.
