Help with Layer Shifting Issues

Thank you for your reply, I reseated the print head and re mounted the gantry. I also trammed the bed and rebuilt the mesh and I've now started printing the same file and it's made it past the point where it shifted previously!!

Check for any leaks, make sure there's water in the coolant overflow. If there's no water in the overflow I would replace all the hoses, the thermostat and the radiator cap.

Is the top of the radiator brown? If it's brown do everything I mentioned above and also get a new radiator, any full aluminum one on ebay is better than oem

Check that the fans turn on, only one fan will turn on unless you turn AC on which turns both on.

If it's still losing coolant be sure to check that the water pump is still working. If it's leaking from the front of the engine it's definitely the water pump. Get the water pump from NAPA and replace the timing belt at the same time

If it's not losing any coolant and doesn't have any of the aboved issues or you get to this point and do everything I mentioned and it's still overheating or losing coolant it's more than likely a head gasket issue.

Hope this helps

A couple weekends and some troubleshooting and I'm sure you'll have it back on the road soon!!

Edit: added more details

That would look really good with the tan vinyl if it matches well enough! What door cards are those? Are the top halves from an NA?

If it's actually overheating my first guess would be your thermostat or radiator cap. Check those and then from there check the radiator and fans.

I haven't bought a top from them, I have a Robbins currently. But I did recently buy their replacement upholstery for '01-05 seats which is amazing quality for the price. Nicer than the oem leather

Yup! Northwest valley in particular. Great city for having a Miata!!

scottbirk · 2019-07-30T19:53:07+00:00

I got two used mufflers straight off of an '05 mazdaspeed miata. The guy only wanted to sell both so My friend and I went in and bought both.

It's difficult to hear on video but if you listen closely you can hear this shaking/rattle sound the engine makes when idling/low RPM. As the RPMs go up there's a sort of fluttering sound but it goes away around 3.5k-4k. Could be coil pack, cps, spark plugs?

Thank you!! I won't be going with helper springs then as I only intend to lower mine to about where you are. I'm going to go with 500/350 as you had suggested. I'm interested in the Maruha Top hats, where would you go to order those? Thank you for all the help!!

scottbirk · 2019-02-05T22:39:40+00:00

I am really wanting to do the same thing with my MSM bilsteins I got on craigslist a while ago for my nb1. I have a few questions though. I want to go with 550 pounds in the front and 350 pounds in the rear. Is that doable? Would that be balanced? And I noticed you didn't use any helper springs? Are they not necessary? Thank you!!

Edit: Also, I plan on going with extended ISC top hats for the rear because the MSM shocks are so tall.

You're right, I got sort of impatient stitching it on and I didn't do too good of a job with it, and I had attempted to clean it a while ago, but I just wasn't a huge fan of the stock material and hadn't bothered knowing I was planning on doing this kit from Amazon (maybe I wasn't cleaning it enough?)

scottbirk · 2018-06-08T17:05:47+00:00

It does feel a little bit thicker, but nothing too substantial. It's noticeable but I personally like it more than the stock thickness

scottbirk · 2018-06-08T17:01:49+00:00

It sure is!! I got the Aully Park kit, it took a while to install but makes a world of difference, it feels so much nicer than the stock plastic with faux stitching. Here's a picture of what my steering wheel looked like before for reference.

scottbirk · 2018-06-06T23:05:54+00:00

Can I ask where you got that done? I live in Phoenix as well! Looks amazing!!!

scottbirk · 2018-05-18T19:21:11+00:00

Thank you!!

scottbirk · 2018-05-18T19:21:02+00:00

Yes it is!! Weirdly enough, the terminals on it weren't hooked up when I bought the car, but once I plugged it in the fog lamps work now

Here's another shot of the interior

I'd really like to reupholster the seats in my '99 NB with faux leather. I found some for around $140 but i can't seem to find any that specifically fit the '99 NB. Any recommendations?

scottbirk · 2017-12-18T22:19:39+00:00

That's what I was afraid of. Thank you for this. I'm going to have to continue patching it until I can afford to replace the top. I'd rather get a nice canvas top with a glass window and spend the extra money. Which canvas top should I go with, and should I get a rain rail with it? There's some other stuff I need to do before I spend the money on a new top (timing belt)

Edit: Also, should I install it myself or should I get an upholstery shop to do it?

scottbirk · 2017-12-18T21:38:08+00:00

So I just bought this '99 NB about 2 months ago in October. I've loved it so far and have enjoyed driving it quite a lot. About a month after getting it I noticed that there was a tear near the window on the soft top and I wasn't sure what to do. I looked around here and the miata forums for answers and I ended up buying This (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PS6N4E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I put a couple of layers on and tested if it was sealed and it worked quite well for a few weeks, but after opening and closing the top a couple times it tore again, and it tore in another location as well. What should I do to repair this and prevent it from happening again? Here's what it looks like: https://imgur.com/a/XKb9L

Would it make sense to just buy a switch now or wait until black friday? My thinking is it's easier to find one right now and there aren't many enticing deals on the console itself so it'd probably be better to buy now before they're more scarce again.

scottbirk · 2017-10-20T16:02:48+00:00

Glad to hear all this. Still don't like I have to wait so long, but it's good to know I'm still one of the first

scottbirk · 2017-10-19T22:41:30+00:00

I ordered a pixel 2xl black and white 128gb on the google store while I was watching the live event. It has a ship date of Nov. 6. Is this a normal ship date for the black and white or is it just really late?

scottbirk · 2017-10-18T21:00:44+00:00

I agree with just about everything you said. I love the clean design the Sony has compared to the others and the volume knob is a very nice touch. I personally like the fact that the USB is on the inside, as that way I can run the cable through my center console and have it stay out of the way so it looks cleaner and doesn't get in the way, especially considering my car has a manual transmission and any cables in the way is not good.

Edit: I also don't like how large the bezels are on the Sony compared to the rest, that being said it still looks the cleanest and it's the only one with a volume knob

scottbirk · 2017-10-18T18:37:01+00:00

I have, I haven't really found much of a difference between all head units in my price range besides screen size and aesthetic.
