Help... Printing Scewed Right.

Post by Flightrider »

Hi guys.. I'm a Newbie; so please excuse...

Just completed my R/S Max v2 and printed the fan shroud etc. Then a 20mm cube and noticed printer is printing with things leaning right. I made up a 25.4 x 25.4 x 50mm cube and printed it. Stopped it after a height of 20mm. See the two photos of cube. About a 4 degree lean to the right.

Before printing this, I had done the following:
1. Calibrated the Z and three towers & center.
2. Checked for loose belts; movement on each carriage, etc.
3. Checked towers vertically... withing .2 degrees vertical relative to glass.

ALSO noticed the hot end comes down about 3.5 mm left of the center of the glass. Glass is centered within .1mm.

Any help would be appreciated....

SORRY ABOUT PHOTOS... don't know how to rotate them once uploaded...

Please see this thread - http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2461

It basically was caused by noise on the end stop wires. Did you run the endstop wires in the same channel as one of the steppers? That is the most
common way for the endstop wires to pick up noise.
