Half printing issue

2 comments

I made several printing tests with different settings. Finally, I think to have found a quite good setting but there is still an issue. I don't know why only one half of the model is printed. See picture attached showing some printing tests.

I checked the Y axis. The hotend can easily move from one end to the other on the gantry manually or using the "move option" on the touch screen.

I wonder if there is some mistake in the .gcode but I don't know how to check.

How can I fix this problem ?

This may be caused by a corrupt .gcode file, try using a different card writer/reader if possible. Another option is to disconnect the touchscreen and print directly from your PC via USB to rule the chance that it's printer hardware related.

Problem solved ! The cause was slightly loosed bolts on the Y-pulley.

    My Printer does not know the word 'Retraction'

    Hey guys.. I printed the 3DBenchy at first and it seems that my printer does not know the word retraction like you can see in the picture. I used the standard settings in cura to slice and octoprint to print. In Cura retraction is on. While printing my extruder made some klicking noise, like he jumped back every few seconds. Can you help me with my settings?

    First print (part two)

    Left the z calibration for another day and thought I'd try a benchy. I think I might have to check the temperature settings that I had on my proforge mk 1 as I think the ones for the mk2 might be too low for my filament. Lots of layer separation.

    Work in progress

    After taking an age to build it (health issues) I finally started printing tonight. Amazingly something appeared on the plate. Looks like I have some z calibration issues to sort out for the 2nd extruder, but all seems ok otherwise. Happy days.
