i have been trying for days to print simple part on my rostockmax v2 but i keep getting some strange results. i did try with different slicers but each one causes different problems.
for example while everything was printing fine suddenly the nozzle moves down inside my print causing a hole WTF.
i have tried everything different setting, slicers, check the printer for anything problematic i just cant get this to print. i have attached a few pictures showing some of the problems if anyone can help me
i would appreciate it

cheers

Is the sliced part coming out ok? What part are you trying to print?
Share the STL if you can.

Take this claim with "clamps" (dunno the word in english):
Did you use some custom wiring? The wiring from the endstrops is quite sensible if I recall, it can do strange thing if the cables close to them are not shielded.

you have support enabled as lines that is most of what you are seeing, turn off support, the piece should not need it increase your infil to .5 or .8 I assume its calibrated correctly and your calibration cube has been printed and checks out.

I notice you have your nonprint speed set at 300 mm/s. For a large print as you are trying to print, try lowering that to 150 mm/s.

One common problem that some users have experienced with the nozzle taking a dive into their print is when the braided wire sleeve gets caught on a carriage or something else and it yanks the carriage out of position, permanently skewing the remainder of the print, until it is stopped, rehomed, and arranged so the wire sleeve doesn't get caught anymore.

Try to watch the print around the time that the nozzle takes a dive and see if you can figure it out.
