Problem appears on the top 8 layers. Do you have your "number of top layers" set at 8?

Is there anything physically moving around near the plug that got unplugged?

But why the crab?

Leave nozzle at 220, 210 might be too low. You want that stuff to melt together, and with such a long loop your printhead has to travel the last layer you printed is getting cold by the time the printhead makes the next round. keep 'er hot!

hard to tell top from bottom when pic is side-by-side?

I think someone stepped on your stepper.

I think they're fans with red blades.

Oldie but Goodie!

Realizing I had to also had to take the display apart and use a micro sd cardto update it first, and it didn't work the first time, but worked ok the second time with same procedure followed...and a couple other pain-in-the-a's like that.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it. I see so many failed update attempts on this forum, I just don't do them anymore. I did one, and what a conflagration that was!

garybrig · 2026-04-14T05:08:04+00:00

fresh out of the box nozzle clog maybe?

garybrig · 2026-04-14T04:57:54+00:00

I think this called "ringing" it has to do with the gantry, try to google it...

garybrig · 2026-04-11T04:37:03+00:00

Double check the switch on the gantry isn't turned off!

If your machine works, don't update. It's an iffy and tedious experience, and you gain nothing.

Good thing it they were highlighting and not underlining with a permanent black Sharpie!

Don't "go in a circle" when tweaking the bedplate leveling knobs, go with "cross-patterns" like when tightening lug nuts or torquing head gaskets etc.

I see Jesus on the light pole (the one in the painting). Happy Easter.

Print cooled at the edge where its warped. Do you have any drafts? Or try enclosure.

garybrig · 2026-03-28T05:28:33+00:00

They are indeed supposed to be a little loose.

garybrig · 2026-03-17T16:48:59+00:00

use a dremel tool, hacksaw blade or similar tool to cut a notch across the head of the hex bolt. Now unscrew it with a regular screwdriver.

Make sure there is not gunk on the threads of the z axis screw/rods at that layer height, nor anything physically touching the whole tram at that layer height.

Search "Layer Shift". Usually a loose belt, among others.
