weird prints - X an Y axis sudden errors... ?
October 07, 2013 01:00PM
Hi all

in last weeks my print quality worsened... looks like I have an X-axis problem... (and sometime an Y-axis too - as can be seen in upper part of this model) see photos...

I have a feeling that its getting worse after every calibration, and especially after last few filament changes... Currently i am on ABS, using different colours (approx same results), printed at diff temperatures (220-260) so it cant be filament...

problematic prints
printed object should have straight vertical edes on left and right... also vertical cracks seen in last photos should be straight up as well...

Any ideas what to check?

both belts are tight...
no part of the printer that should not move is moving , ll screws are checked....
bed is rigid, sliding nicely at it should be...

Good suggestion from IRC:.. check grub screws on your motor pulleys - are they tight ?

They were not - so I made tme, and this moment I am just testing a new print, to see if this was it.
And I have a very good feeling that it is. smiling smiley

So for future reference to other esteemed collegues and M90 owners smiling smiley
