Problem on the First Print

Hello,
I had a lot of sweat mounting because the documentation is not yet perfect and some parts were recalcitrant.
My bad english didn't help!
I printed this morning the object Ormaxis.g
But the impression wasn't great.
The first 1.2 inches along the Z axis from the bed are twisted.
From 1.2 inches seems perfect and straight (on the additional 2.5 inches).
Do you have any idea what the problem could be ?

Regards

Hi tigrou,

congrats to your first print!

Looks like you have some issues withth y-axis. Is the fixing of the y-belt below the heated bed ok? Does the belt slip?

I agree with Markus - your Y belt is slipping. It is not that easy to get it tight, but you will have to persevere. I suggest you read this topic [forums.reprap.org] and as soon as you are getting reasonable prints, print the parts needed to modify that part of the design.

I agree, it looks like a y-axis problem. See items 3a and 3b in the Printing section of my unofficial Ormerod troubleshooting guide at [forums.reprap.org].
