Hello, New to 3D Printing and the Artisan. Have owned the Artisan for three weeks now and have managed to print all the basic objects like Benchy etc with a good measure of success. Today for some reason my prints started to fail; bed adhesion wasn’t great the black PLA filament (Snapmaker brand) in the left nozzle wasn’t printing correctly. I have gone through the Bed Levelling → Auto Z Axis calibration and XY calibration about ten times today. I have also tried to manually calibrate the Z Axis manually first via Sensor Calibration, then Auto Calibration. I have tried Manual Calibration as well, then Bed Levelling but the XY Calibration is woeful. The black PLA filament doesn’t print correctly. Not sure what has changed; I am using the default profiles for all the filaments (Snapmaker Black PLA and White Support PLA). I even reset the Artisan to factory defaults and went through the first time calibration process however the result is the same. I am not going to speculate what the cause may be; would rather get an opinion and advice. Here are some pictures; horizontal pattern is the X Axis and vertical is the Y Axis. ![20230326_150434](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/7/c/7c24ca203202914b98b9835ccf9a8c2ce6a4e835.jpeg) Any advice would be appreciated. ---

Anbei die STL und Auszüge aus der Mail vom Support an mich. Grüße —————————————- Hello, @brewery.chump0x Of course I share it with you. Attached is the STL and excerpts from the email from support to me. Greetings [Block.stl](https://forum.snapmaker.com/uploads/short-url/8a8NaInmjOtKXbU6GoNqt2mv3nR.stl) (158.2 KB) Maybe try it with the wedge to see if this helps. It seems you are underextruding and your z offset is not correct. Your nozzles are too far away. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/3/c/3ca753e6b13c40388c78a094263c3457b93f0ca3.png) The pva seems to need 20° more so i suggest to use other pla on the right extruder. ---

Hi… Looks like the nozzle is too low and can’t extrude enough. Filament is getting grinddd. I suggest increasing the x offset for each extruder (by 0.4mm works well for me). I had the same issue despite multiple calibrations. Increasing the x helped. Hope things get better for you.
