    My second print was the wrench out of the library. I just hit print. The wrench is positioned at an angle on the build plate running front to back. The front of the wrench looks great, but the back of the wrench seemed to slope downward. Maybe my bed is not level? What would cause the print to slope downward toward the back of the machine.

    Pictures would help. Sounds like a loose pulley though I can't tell from your description.

    Here is a pic. You see it slopes downward.

    That looks like warp to me. Which side was against the glass? The top in that picture?

    yes the slope would have actually been upward like a warp. Good call. So the side you see sloping down is the side that sat on the glass.

    Yeah I'm pretty sure that's just warp. Try using more hairspray or blue painters tape.
