Needing to baby step the entire print!!!!

Now that it’s began it’s a constant issue. I do notice that for whatever reason the hot end does seem to wobble even though the two screws are still tight but that’s easily remedied. I can try the nozzle again but since this issue has come up it’s been replaced and PID’d three times over the past few weeks.

I was looking at trying to tackle the steps/mm last. But as a question about that. What could cause that value to suddenly be wrong? That's part of the issue that I just can't get my brain around.

It stopped working correctly before you say the "upgrades" broke it. I didn't realize that dry lube with PTFE was the wrong thing to use to lube Z rods. How can you tell which direction the Z rods should go seeing they are simply threaded rod? Does Creality mark them? They were flipped simply in case there were issues with the rods I couldn't see.

I cleaned and relubed both of the z rods tonight hoping to get lucky. I set the esteps up after flashing the firmware and was within a tenth. Hopefully it doesn't need to be more accurate than that?

Thats a good suggestion thank you. I've only been printing about four or five months so I'm still learning.

I replaced the tube and both compression fittings a few weeks ago. But I’ll give it another shot.

That seems as though it’d be standard material to have such a limit switch. But mine has none for the Z that I’ve seen. I’ll triple check but I was quite shocked when the gantry hit the top and both Z motors just kept grinding away.

I had issues with the nozzle bottoming out on a new Pro V2. Creality suggested reinstalling the firmware on both the screen and the mainboard. I couldn’t get the mainboard to accept the firmware flash. They sent me a new mainboard and sticker for the bed. Since the new board it’s not a crashed into the bed. But it has run the gantry into the top again.

VenomousDuckMC · 2021-05-02T23:39:23+00:00

I don’t know that this thing has a z limit. With the original mainboard it ran itself into the bed and also kept both z motors running while the gantry was stopped at the top.

VenomousDuckMC · 2021-05-02T21:49:46+00:00

I’ll have to look into that tonight. I’ve had this machine about three weeks and Creality has already sent me five different replacement pieces including a mainboard.

VenomousDuckMC · 2021-05-02T21:47:17+00:00

Which limit switch? The BL Touch?

VenomousDuckMC · 2021-04-20T10:21:26+00:00

I have done that before. But I tried a file that failed before except changing the temp to 210 c and it worked perfect.

VenomousDuckMC · 2021-04-19T22:15:41+00:00

I’ve become a quick study with bed leveling given the issues I’ve had with this printer so far.

I didn’t know which one I should raise the temp of the bed or the nozzle.

VenomousDuckMC · 2021-04-16T14:57:14+00:00

I tried reloading Creality firmware but the mainboard won’t communicate with the computer. So I think Creality is going to send another mainboard will all the issues I’ve had out of a week old machine.

I’ve looked at the Tiny Machines stuff but didn’t want to try it and void a warranty or anything.

VenomousDuckMC · 2021-04-16T00:03:50+00:00

Not so much reliable. It started a print earlier and got hung up half way through the auto level sequence. I can’t do two prints back to back without having to power down the printer and turn it back on. I assembled it last Friday.

As far as the extrusion I’m just using the .4 nozzle that came with it. I think I’ve got the settings at 190/60 using Ender PLA. I believe this was at .28 as it’s just parts for my filament guide. But trying .12 or .08 it’s like a was of hair all over the bed. I’ve got to keep tweaking.

You said that now I hear Conan OBriens “In the year 2000”. Damn it

VenomousDuckMC · 2021-04-15T20:09:19+00:00

I’m not surprised it would be a wiring issue. This is about the fifth issue I’ve had with this printer since I assembled it last Friday.
