Re: Prints shifting during print

Hmm it could be a belt or living the rails. I need to find my manual to see the proper way to lube them. Is there a link to the guide that you know of?

Re: Printer extrudes filament off the plate before printing.

Soon to be followed by the post... "Why does my first layer not lay down right". :lol: (sorry couldn't resist.) Haha, yeah I'm going to have a lot of extra circles around my prints to accommodate that! I just hate having to catch the filament as it drops dangerously close to that fan on the bottom ...

I'm not sure if it has always been like this, but I keep getting this constant line of "SENT: M105" over and over, even if I'm not doing anything. The extruder and bed can be set to off an...

Re: Printer extrudes filament off the plate before printing.

Wait, so is this way the first few inches of the filament sometimes comes out at a 45 degree angle from the nozzle at first? But after a few inches it flows straight down?
