I looked around a bit on google and on these forums, and nothing came up, but I'm facing the most curious issue I ever have seen. I'm using a delta printer (Rostock), and every layer after the first one is slanted, but not like you usually think when you hear "slanted print", with an x or y offset; no, I mean I can visually see a 3-5 degree ANGLE per layer in all but the first layer.

Wow, excellent find, thank you so much! If possible, I'd still like to fix this nozzle, because, y'know, I already have it, but since this is looking less and less like it's within reach, I may just go for the part at that linkby vvarma - Printing
Hey, so recently I've been running into some trouble with my 0.3mm j head hot end. It stopped extruding correctly, so I took it off and let it sit in acetone for a while, periodically taking it out to clear some of the residue out (Because I kept getting residue out, this actually went on for 2 whole days). After this process, I tried taking a thin wire and clearing out the very tip of the hot enby vvarma - Printing
Damn it all. Have any of you ever had experience with a J-Head style hotend just breaking? I noticed that my printer wasn't extruding nearly as much as it should have been, so I tried to unscrew the two halves of it apart to clean it, which I have done before. Upon doing so, the threads on the aluminum block just sheared straight off the dang block. I don't quite understand how that even happenedby vvarma - Printing
but would that really mess up the rest of my print? I'll try adjusting the first layer height to see if that does anything, but what I'm most concerned with now is the fact that my prints don't resemble much of anything at the moment. That print was just supposed to be a simple little box.by vvarma - Printing
Hey guys, so I've just got everything set back up the way it should be, recalibrated the printer, and tried test printing a little cube; The issue this time is a little different; instead of all the layers but the first getting pushed around, leaving only the first layer, they appear to be getting deposited, however they're being set down in a way that only a picture can describe, so an image ofby vvarma - Printing
it honestly could have been the fact that the room was a little cold, even with the incandescent bulb, and when the hotend started to print the heat from that made a gradient down the length of the plate (the print began at the edge); the other possibility is that the print head was pushing down on the edge of the platform, even though I printed something there before, and I didn't notice a printby vvarma - Printing
AAAANNDD I walked in on a shattered glass plate (somehow, I don't believe there was ever a print head crash). In any case, I'm ordering a borosilicate sheet that won't break so easy, and I'll let you know how it works in a few days when it gets hereby vvarma - Printing
I had to actually run out and buy some incandescent bulbs, but now they're all hooked up, and I'm also going to put a bit of a delay between the bed heating up and the actual start of print, so the air in and around the printer is nice and warm. I'll let you guys know as soon as I finish a test print and what the results are. Thanks for the prompt responses, everyone!by vvarma - Printing
0.1mm layer height (but I've tried 0.075 to 0.2 with similar results), and I've kept the printing very slow to rule out errors associated with that, so I've tried speeds between 15 and 30 mm/s. My room is set to 69 deg. F, but ends up at least 5 degrees higher due to all the devices I have running in there.by vvarma - Printing
Hey guys, I've always found really helpful solutions to most of my printer problems on these forums in the past, but I can't seem to find a single result on my issue in particular; it has to do with the fusion of the filament. See, whereas many people have challenges getting the first layer to stick to the bed, I have a problem with every following layer... The first layer sticks just fine, but sby vvarma - Printing
