I got the benchy boat to print the first try. Had some waves to it along the X axis but other than that it was ok. I tried 7 more times to print out the same thing to see if the error was duplicating. Filament would get caught in the line, there have been many issues with the Z axis movement and overall just not getting another print.
I finally got it to kinda work. I got enough of a print to see that the X axis wave was repeating. After some research, I hypothesized it was the screw for the Z axis that was causing the problem. I adjusted the gantry connections and lubed the track and screw and decided to try again.
Now when I run the auto level I get an error. When it reaches the top left corner the gantry will drop, the sensor will trigger and then it'll error out. I can't even test my hypothesis.
I backed this project because I saw that MakerTech had some pretty good reviews on their other printers and thought the quality would be comparable. This is my first printer so I have nothing else to compare it to but it's been very frustrating to say the least.
