My print jobs are slightly leaning backwards

Post by makermoore » Mon Feb 06, 2017 7:26 pm

I usually print low profile objects, but the other day I printed something tall. When the printing was done, I noticed that the piece was slightly leaning backwards. So I did some tall test prints and they all came out the same, all were slightly leaning backwards. I checked the belts, motor mount screws and overall tightness of shafts & guide rails. Everything looks good.
Maybe someone has already posted something similar, but when I searched, I couldn't find anything about it.
Any ideas, suggestion or help would be appreciated.

Your Z rods are not perfectly vertical. You can loosen and reposition the clamp on the underside of the machine to correct it.
