• Every XY calibration (using new 5x5 point system) results in failure to adhere to the front of the bed and often in the back right corner (nearest the controller).
I have never been able to print full bed and have mostly switched to my Bambu printers, but I want this expensive device to work, especially so I can print big!
When this happens to me, there’s a bunch of filament dust inside the print head. The feeder gear turns but the filament doesn’t move. A little compressed air should clear it out (and make a big mess).
It’s almost always because I let go of the filament end without securing it properly, and it tangled.
[Edit to add] I can also usually hear the filament “clicking”. It binds up, then releases suddenly, causing the filament to loosen and contract on the spool. I find that it helps to keep an ear open while a print is going.
Thanks everyone. It must be some setting in Luban as I did benchy and it failed at overhangs and didn’t look great. Switching to Cura using its default SM settings made a MUCH nicer benchy.
However, I tried a new cylinder and the XY shift circled in this new photo arose. Not sure if that was an issue in the past as I never printed cylinders like this.
How do I correct for this? Could it be software or something only possible by the motors being out of alignment? The new benchy had the same issue on its chimney.
The bumps are not 90º to the SM frame, but at a slight (not 45º, maybe ~20º) angle off square.
