I've tensioned up my X-axis although I'm still having this odd shift irregularly in my prints. I'm guessing that the hot end should be fixed vertically/perpendicular to the print surface - at the moment it wobbles a little when moving - if that is not supposed to be there any ideas on how I tighten it? I'm using a prusa i3 with an E3D hot end, 3mm and running PLA at 185 on a 60C glass bed with a coating of 1:5 PVA glue+water. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,460078,460078#msg-460078 Mon, 11 May 2026 15:28:31 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,460078,460644#msg-460644 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,460078,460644#msg-460644 Phototoxin Printing Sun, 25 Jan 2015 20:01:05 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,460078,460398#msg-460398 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,460078,460398#msg-460398 Try wrapping ptfe tape around the section of the nozzle to tighten up the mount.]]> GRAYWOLF Printing Sun, 25 Jan 2015 07:59:59 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,460078,460377#msg-460377 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,460078,460377#msg-460377 Phototoxin Printing Sun, 25 Jan 2015 07:15:46 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,460078,460274#msg-460274 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,460078,460274#msg-460274 Tibuck Printing Sat, 24 Jan 2015 21:22:41 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,460078,460184#msg-460184 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,460078,460184#msg-460184 tmorris9 Printing Sat, 24 Jan 2015 16:08:11 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,460078,460078#msg-460078 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,460078,460078#msg-460078
