Gouging print!?

[Evey]

Seriously about to throw this thing at the wall- it has randomly started gouging the center of my prints- no idea what to do.It starts just fine then I get this nonsense…

This seems to be not bad.

You can adjust the Z offset in real-time.

This behaviour is because of your bed calibration which is pretty fine at the corner.
You will overprint the overextrusion in the next coming layers,- so not a big problem at this point of your print.

Did you activate the 5x5 calibration grid in the settings of the touchscreen?
If yes, it is possible to dig deep into the machine and gcode world to get rid of it.

SM2 Bed Leveling 101

I’ve been working on the problems with SM2’s bed leveling issues for a while now. I’ve created some Google Sheets that can help with the process. The “Introduction” page will give some background. If you have any problems at all, please ask. I’m open to any feedback or suggestions. With the link below you can copy the Sheets to your own Google sheet or do a “File:Download” menu selection to save it to your local machine. Maybe this will only be useful for a short while because Snapmaker will fi…

For all who want level on glass

Hello Snapmakers, I designd a litte helpertool to do automatic leveling on any surface you want. For myself i use a 3mm glasbed directly on the heatingbed.Works very well!!! Here the Link to thingiverse: Any comments, ideas, questions or refinements are very appreciated. Have Fun Stefix

I have just started having a problem with gouging. Until yesterday, printing was fine. Then a print started gouging over a large area of the bed and eventually the head jammed. Given the extent of the gouging, I don’t think it can be leveling. It also not an assembly issue.

I have tested the sensor which is working. The bed leveling/calibration also works fine. If the sensor is not at the correct height, I would not expect this to function correctly, and why would the sensor move out of alignment all by itself?

I am not sure what to try next. My instinct is that this is a software issue, given that nothing has changed on the hardware.

Is anyone else having new problems in this area?

I’m having the same issue. Thought it was under extrusion (there is a post here on the forum covering it) and finally figured it out just today. Mine gouges only where the print head moves to a new starting position on the same layer.
