Print Quality Troubleshooting

Post by patrickgrae » Wed Sep 26, 2018 4:12 am

Greetings,

I seem to be having some trouble with my prints and was wondering if anyone else on here has had the same issue.

It will print about 30-40-ish layers fine, but then start catching and botching the print. My assumption is that it has to do with the z-axis motor mounts as the motor on the extruder side likes to wobble.

Is this a common issue with the A30 and is there a fix for it?

Any help given would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like the z is not lifting, it does that if the cross bar is not parallel to the bed. Can you hear a gringing noise, or hold your hands on the vertical bits and feel if it vibrates.

Use a vernier (or tape measure if you not got a vernier) and make sure its perfectly level (you should level your bed manually first).
