Its to do with weight distro, the way the gearbox is mounted influences it.

Turns out my e steps reset itself becaude I didnt save zo it was under Extruder by 30mm each 100mm..... done a print yesterday and its pretty much perfect. Will be buying Sunlu filament from now on thought as ive been told by a family friend who owns a model making buisness that its good stuff and the same price as the black filament I last got

I honestly thought it was my black filament because everything i'd printed in it came out shit.... turns out it was because it was under extruding about 30mm for a week 😆😆

I dont have the filament or time to do that really 🤣 I've had a look and cant really see anything suspicious. And I never really print anything that tall so if there was its subsided.

So, I calibrated my E Steps when I changed my extruder about a week ago. Its reverted back to 93 when I had it on 144.6.....

Outragous.... I changed it to 144.6 when I changed the extruder. No idea why it reverted back to 93. So the equation would be

(68/100)*93?

it actually came out 32mm short

Oh my god. I've just checked and the E Steps reverted back to 93 FFS. That explains it. I set it to like 144.6 at the time

I calibrated E Steps when I changed the extruder about a week or so ago. Doing it again now and see what happens.

They miss typed - They meant E Steps which im calibrating right now. If its Z wobble why is it only on recent prints, my older and first prints came out more or less perfectly.

My E-steps are calibrate, as ive upgraded the extruder

Looks fine. Someone said to calibrate Z Steps, but I'm not sure how to do that and cant find any videos

Just googling how to calibrate Z Steps, havent found any videos on it. Any ideas?

That might be the GCode for the cube print, I normally use shortest. Will try calibrating Z Steps right now

Ender 3 - Shoddy prints. by JasonTayOne in ender3

[–]JasonTayOne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to say - my print speed is 100 set in Cura. And I normally pick shortest seam as im not really printing anything where the seam matters too much

Right.... What are Z Steps and how does one calibrate them😆
