I completed the build of my K8200 yesterday and went through the calibration this morning. The outline prints precisely but when the printer is filling in the x axis occasionally jumps, causing the infill to continue about 2cm out of place. I have tested it with multiple downloaded files of different items but they all appear to give the same issue.
Things I have tried:
Re-seat x axis motor to ensure it is straight
Re-adjust x axis belt and adjusted tension
Changed x axis motor to 0.55 V
Removed the heat bed to adjust the x axis linear bearings, ensuring the axis doesn’t snag
I’m stuck for ideas to try in an attempt to resolve the issue. Any help will be much appreciated, hopefully I can get it printing soon.
p.s. I’ve got a few bits to do today, but hopefully later I’ll get a chance to take a video of it.
I have adjusted the pulley and that didn’t solve my problem so I decided to go through the calibration steps again just in case I missed something. It turns out that the X-axes motor controller was set to 0.7V so I changed it back to 0.55V and all appears to be working perfectly now.
I must have missed the X-axes motor trimming when going through the set-up first time round.
Thank you all for your input, it is much appreciated.
[quote=“ichbinsnur”]Hey, nice to hear it works now.
Happy printing![/quote]
Thank you. It’s an amazing feeling seeing a 3d printer work after spending a couple of days building and calibrating it. I’m looking a bit like a Cheshire cat now, just need to work on my 3D CAD skills now
