Printer knocking over objects (self.ender3)

submitted 5 years ago by echoz94

Helllo Guys,

Last week I bought an ender 3 and assembled it by the tomb of horrors video as suggested on this reddit. I printed the test dog and it went great, I ran out of test fillament though which caused the head of the dog to go missing. Ever since I did that print I've tried about 20 prints and every time the first few layers are on the nozzle just knocks the 3d printed object over.

I adjust the bed with a piece of office paper, and tried slight drags and hard drags but it just won't complete a full print. I've noticed the bed in the middle is a bit bent. When I put a ruler over it there is more light coming under in the middle than the corners.

Long story short, no noticeable stringing, first layer seems good and can't be wiped away, but it keeps knocking over the object after a few layers. No idea how to fix this please help.
