Did you set that in printer settings and or your slicer too?
I get similar results if i forget to set correct nozzle diameter after changing the nozzle to another diameter.

Extruder 1: Nozzle Diameter: 0.5mm
Tho judging by the engraved glass… my printer just murdered my hotend while I was out getting dinner.
Why would it try to go lower than zstop?!
Edit.
Ah, brilliant, unclogged the hot end… only a few blisters…
Beware spitting molten plastic

Whom told you so?
The reason you set the printer up with a gap between the bed and the nozzle is to account for thermal expansion.
It’s better to have the nozzle a little too far from the bed and over-extrude the first layer.

Whoops!
i think i got you wrong …
The z endstop is not very precise, so it will likely misadjust itself.
I needed to adjust it almost every print, till i changed it to a more precise mount.

I just re-calibrated it hot (not a pleasant experience)
With the hot end and the bed at their desired temperature all 4 corners are now the thickness of a standard piece of A4 (bank statement) - about 0.1mm
[quote=“ichbinsnur”]Whoops!

It’s all good, I’m sure you guys are getting as frustrated with me as I am the printer.
if I could get it to print a few things… new z stop, mounting brackets for the power supplies…
Edit: Lol and now it’s back to ripping the prints off…
Once again, I give up for the night.
I wonder if just turfing this filament and getting new filament will help…
ichbinsnur, I don’t suppose you have a detailed how-to for getting a e3d hotend mounted on one of these?
About those pictures, looks like your extruder nozzle is stuck or at least mine did same when it was half stuck.
And also same can happen when extruder is retracting often during the job, it can lose the grip from filament, so even it is feeding, filament stays still.
there must be enough tension on the spring ( almost full ).
first layer speed should be slow mine is 50%.
And when using hairspray, all of them doesn’t work well, I have tested 3 different till I found by accident one what works like a glue, it works perfect.
this one
after using this, you need a hammer to take your piece off from hot bed, or just wait till bed cools down and it relasing by itself.
Also about Z, when I found the correct height for the first layer, I marked it to stepper, because every time i was driving Z to home, it is bit different.
Now when I drive Z to home, I roll the rest with hand, so stepper is getting always to same point.
So, home your Z and take a pen and mark that position to Z shaft and steppermotor, that you are going to use always as zero.
then you start to find correct height for first layer, just start to print something big, example big filled square and while you are printing the first layer, look and adjust Z by rolling shaft manually with hand more up or down and look results and adjust till you find the best height and mark that shaft position then also to your stepper motor.
( you should also let it print that first layer to whole area, so you see, is table adjusted straight enough)
Like this you see and learn and it is easy .
Then only thing is to find that position and add it to Z offset.
And always when homing Z, you see if it is in same position, and you can correct it manually with hand.
And when print starts your Z should turn in first layer to that other line what you found with adjusting it.
If not then adjust Z offset.
Once you find correct height and you always get Z to same zero point and have correct offset all is working and with this hairspray, your work doesnt release even if extruder is crashing to your workpiece. ( if bed temperature is over 48 everywhere)
Remember also to raise bed temperature till 55 for first 3 layers if you are printing over the place where thermistor is.
When i use 52 then corners of the bed are also near 50 and printing piece stays.
I hope you understand what I mean.
