    That looks like a personal link, usually it says watch?v= in the URL

    Did the second attempt work?

    Here is the beginning of the print when I thought it had fixed itself.

    Yeah you're still too high. Needs to smush the filament a bit

    Ok, but what does that have to do with it not lining up? I mean I could understand if it wasn't going to edges on both ends. But it's like it shifted because it's comes up short on one end and goes over in the other.

    When you compress the layer properly it will join the two strands together.

    And it's inconsistent because as you can see between the two videos, it goes edge to edge at first and then in the second it doesn't.

    Get your filament to lay down like a ribbon instead of a strand. That should fix it.

    No clue what your talking about with g29. Still learning the technically side of it. Where do I find what your asking about. I'm only running off the lcd screen.

    As far as the lay down. I will try it, only cause I need to anyway aparently lol, but I don't think that will fix the problem.

    That looks a little better. Why don't you try printing a simpler object to learn what you're doing.

    Not sure why you're printing a raft either.

    Might look better as far as lay down. But it is still not aligned like it used to be. So in the sense of my issue, it doesn't look better. The raft is to combat warping that I got on previous on previous prints. The size of the item won't matter.

    That looks like a slicer issue to me. Eliminate that variable.
