First layer off

Oh and nothing is getting in the way either. I fixed that issue awhile back.

 

Can we get a video of what's happening?

 

Yea I will get one tonight

 

Well I went to get a video and thought it had fixed itself. But it ended up being of after it started the other half of infill. Now to figure out how to get video uploaded from phone. It keeps crashing the app when I try to upload it.

 

Put the video on dropbox or youtube. That tapatalk app isn't official

 

Try a tad higher, some of your lines have a bit of interruption, dotted.

 

I have come to the conclusion the bed isn't level, or something with the mount is throwing it off because when I calibrate the height in the edges it's too high in the center. Or if it's right in the center is too low on the edges.

I will try that next Mike. Stand by

 

When it does G29 does it push down on the back corners? You might need a spacer.

Most people confused funky G29 responses with bed levelness. Open terminal and watch the G29 responses

 

I've seen a video explaining that the smooth x rod could be slightly bent due to the weight of the extruder. Try turning it. Everything is done in small increments.

Try using painters tape. It allows for some error and gives a bit of a cushion for the filament to lay on.

 

Don't have the smooth rod yet. Can't get the painters tape to work. Only recently have got the glue stick to work. Installing heated bed as soon as the rods come in.

Mike - huh? Only thing I have done is for height calibration is manually move the print head and threaded rods with an old credit card for a spacer.

 

The extruder lays on the x smooth rod.

 

Ah. Thought you were referring to the ones for the bed.

 

What is the issue e with the painters tape? It's the easiest of all the methods.

Perhaps there is another issue. If your s height is uneven on one side or the other, I think they call it azimuth.
It will drag the filament off the bed. Make sure s height is level on both sides.

 

The head is level. That was an issue when I first changed to the e3d. As far as the tape, it just plain doesn't stick at all. I had more luck with a bare bed.

But to save you the trouble, my issue now is the first layer is offset from the wall to the infill. And only in the first layer of the raft and print. Not sticking concerns.

Mike - still waiting for upload to finish.

 

Here is one Mike. Still waiting on the other.

Add more hairspray. I use this

 

Again my issue is not related to sticking concerns Peter. Also the hairspray didn't work consistently either.

 

If the hairspray is not working and the painters tape is not working, and others have had success, then it's your extruder head not being level to the bed. If others can do it, why can't you? This is something you will have to answer.

I noticed you stated you upgraded your hot end. Is it level on the x rod?

 

Peter, I DON'T HAVE STICKING ISSUES. Read the whole thread. Thank you.

 

That youtube link isn't working. I still think he's too high.
