My issues have been few and far between with my M2 until lately.
Print out tabs for my diver rings, these tabs are small.
Print starts off OK, then slants at an angle that makes the parts un-useable.
Everything is tight, replaced the extruder motor holder, extruder drive and it's prints
off kilter.
Any ideas? I'm out of stuff to try. Unless the build plate is shifting, it's clamped
heated build plate. Rubber corners that hold this together?

Updated the firmware recently? The new one that I spammed the forum with saying its so awesome causes skipping steps (but the other features were awesome).
Kept the rails lubed up?
Y axis pulley loose on the motor shaft?

Re: Printing that Slants
Think I found the issue, the rubber pad/corners are allowing movement ever so slightly.
Karen@makergear will soon be seeing a request for 4 new ones.
Until the new ones arrive, I will wedge a toothpick to firm up the build plate and glass
to stop the .015 slop. Used my machine to build 1000s of parts. Wear going be be normal.

Re: Printing that Slants
Exquisite, just what I need.
Did flip over the work rubber corners, this did tighten it up.
Toothpick didn't work.
Downloaded the new clamps and will make 4 out of PET+ soon.
Feel good about identifying the problem that's plagued me 3 days.
Now it can be fixed!

Re: Printing that Slants
John, print these from abs if you can. Pet will work but the little sliding clamp part does get a little soft over time where it contacts the bed since its in direct contact with prolonged heat. Abs will be a little more rigid.
