I finally got my printer working again. I spent the whole day going through Teaching Tech’s calibration steps. All the flat calibration gcode looks fine. The Benchies are another problem though. I’m printing with a 0.6mm nozzle for the first time.
On the smaller benchy I printed at 0.2 layer height, with a perimeter speed of 40mm/s at 210/60 temps. The bigger one is 110% larger and printed at 0.25 layer height, with a perimeter speed of 60mm/s at 215/60 C.
The problems are mostly manifested in the same area. Big blobs in the rear and layer shifting on the tail pipe. Large layer shifts/bulges in the center. I’ve never really ran into this problem before so I don’t know where to start when diagnosing this.
Wow that’s wild. Maybe the Z axis stepper motor is not working right. Or the slicer settings aren’t configured for your printer properly. What printer do you have?
Sovol SV01, the old model. It was a completely fine printer but one filament change later, the bed failed, I installed a new board, I upped the nozzle to 0.6 from 0.4. I really piled the problems onto myself, but this one is a doozy.
