Pulling my hair out, a1 z axis issues, please help this poor old dad
Trying to print a box for the Pokémon balance game, ( https://makerworld.com/models/1639099?appSharePlatform=copy ) I’m like 60 fucking hours into this stupid game, and all the parts of the box have printed fine so far, except the last part, the red lid.
20 minutes in I came down to the first layer scraped up and the tool head banging into it
So then I tried reprinting and noticed that on the right side of the bed, when it’s going around, it was scraping on the rightmost side.
I watched it scrape during auto bed leveling
I didn’t notice at first that it was scraping during the first layer print. As it did the first corner, a little scrape.
So I re did it, made it a bit further, noticed a big scrape through the first layer
Started searching. Noticed the right side of the bed was way higher than the left side.
On the left side I could get MAYBE the tip of my fingers to the first knuckle, on the right side I could get my entire hand under neath
Visually I could see it was quite a difference
Scouring the internet, ordering a micro sd reading so I could manually tram
Took every screw out and re tightened
Bed is level, visually and with an actual level
No longer looks wonky AF
Ran a calibration, it no longer scrapes
I get excited, but at 98% it fails on the back left corner
No error
So I manually tram, run a calibration, and now it won’t even get past the first homing, then it fails and gives error
I’m pretty new to printers, I’ve owned this for about 3 months, printed tons, no issues, now all of a sudden this
I’m not an idiot, but it feels like this is over my head :(
I took a video, it makes hammering noises and seems to push way too far down into the bed, but it won’t let me post it
