    Hi, I have a R1 and I use Cura for splicing and it used to print very well but I did not print for sometime and now when I print the print is very shaky. I am not sure what the issue. Any help will be appreciated.

    My usual suggestion is to compare to these:

    Since we don't know all the settings. I'd start by making sure the belts are tight and that you are using sane numbers for the acceleration and jerk. If it just started then it is more likely something mechanical is loose. Check pulleys, set screws on drive cogs and belts.

    If your print is shaky, you might be printing to fast. Also you might need better table to set your printer on.
