Hi all ive has my printer for 2 weeks now and its been going ok and just recently i have gotten the usb working but after 4 print using usb the printer is doing a weird thing where it looks like it is skipping layers or something i dont know really, i think its extruding fine it just doesn't print right any help is appreciated

the first few layers go on fine then it just goes really high and puts dots everywhere
its not to far away i have triple checked
so im stumped.
it might be firmware due to the usb and maybe i messed up a setting i dont know
it stays to low and then shoots up way to high i dont know whats up with it
Weird problem
Re: Weird problem some solution
looks like you have the Nozzle set too low, the plastic is backing up in the nozzle set your z to 0.3mm and set the range between 0.2 mm and 0.3mm make sure you purge the Nozzle before you start you may also have a clogged Nozzle... Dust and Dirt that gather on the filament will cause Nozzle clogging... best way to deal with this is a glasses cleaning cloth with a few 3in1Oil drops on it and put that in a clip what I do now is buy cleaner filament.
also measure the thickness of your filament default is always set to 3.00MM but most are now 1.75mm but that varies +- 0.16mm and It dose affect the extrusion rate..
Start Gcode
G1 E1.5 F250; (Small retract to help with blobbing on next line)
G28; (home all axes, forces a bounce in the center on the A30)
G1 Z5 F5000 ; (lift nozzle)
; Adapted from MP Select Mini V2 profile in Cura
G92 E0;(Reset the extruder to 0, no movement on this)
G0 Z1 E5 F500;(Move up and prime the nozzle)
G0 X8 Y12 Z0.3;(Move outside the printable area)
; Movement and priming wipes to ensure a clean start
G1 Y80 E16 F500;(Draw forward - a priming/wiping line to the rear)
G1 X9.5 Y14 E32 F500;(Draw backward - more priming/wiping with extra volume)
;G1 E-.5 F250;(Small retract if needed)
G92 E0;(Zero the extruder)
End code
