Unresolved Calibration Circle=Straight Lines

Hello Robo3D forums,

In need of your help and guidance when it comes to calibrating my robo 3d printer correctly.

I have tried configuring the bed myself (paper resistance etc) still no luck.

What appears to be the issue? Also what information do you need from me? i am more than willing to provide.

I use Matter control, with slic3r engine.

Thank you in advance for your help.

 

Any idea or clue as to how to problem solve or how to properly fix the y axis?

 

Here is a video for help

 

Yes it does

 

When you run a G28 command (or when you start a job), does it home all of the axes? Does the Auto-Level (G29) work correctly, when a new print is started?

 

Hey Ryan,

Thanks for your input. When i do run a job it does home all the axis (i placed the axis in the middle/up/down etc and hit run and it moved it back to original position.)

As for the Auto-Level (G29), i removed code "G29 ; probe the bed" as i had to configure the auto level bed manually (put a piece of paper in between the extruder etc etc). The reason i configured the bed myself is, before this print job, the printer would print a 1inch or so above the bed. Once i manually configured the bed, i am now left with what is shown in the images. Which is a improvement from using the auto bed G29 ; probe the bed.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions? Do i need to get ride of the manual configure i did for the bed?

Thank you

 

The paper level gets the X-Axis very close to level. Which then makes the Auto-level more accurate when its probing the bed. If you are randomly noticing the Y-Axis does not move (like the video), then I would check your Stepper Drivers as the Y Driver may be failing, slowly.

 

Will check your suggestions tonight.

Thank you

 

Thanks everyone for your help. Was able to figure it out. Im just a noob and didn't double check the bed movement as the belt was as loose as can be.

But now that i have printed a few calibration circles, every time i go to print another one i have to adjust the "Z- Axis" to ensure the proper first layer print. The print head always seems to high. I configured the automatic print bed manually.
I do turn off the printer and disconnect it from my computer from time to time.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you
