You’re gonna have to give some information on your settings of you want some help troubleshooting. What software are you using for slicing, what settings, what’s the gcode, etc.

If you haven’t gone through and calibrated the machine you might also start with something like this: [Snapmaker 2.0 Initial Calibration Settings / Experiences](https://forum.snapmaker.com/t/snapmaker-2-0-initial-calibration-settings-experiences/9928)
