Half printing issue

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.

    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.
