Odd Printing Result - 7 years ago

Picture Attached is a picture of two cubes that I printed. I noticed since I put my printer into an enclosure it started to have odd cracks and misshapen layers. Anyone have any suggestions?

Quotethe_digital_dentist Picture 1: uneven spacing between the fill lines indicates a mechanical problem. One axis is not behaving properly. Reslice and set the infill angle to 0 degrees instead of 45 degrees. When you print you will see which axis has the problem. An error this large should be pretty easy to spot anyway... Pictures 2 and 3: you probably don't have the Z axis calibrated and

QuoteFloyd Have you done any calibration to the extruder yet? Thats STEP ONE! As far as the extruder steps per mm yes I have done that. I told the printer to extrude 100 mm and figured out the error and updated the firmware.
