    Hey guys,

    I having some issues with my printer and would like to know how can I fix this.

    My printer is losing alignment at some height during the print, the consequence is that it shifts the model to the left. It happened with 2 different files ( a cube and a egg holder). The egg holder, my latest print, was literally glued to the base, so there is no way the piece itself moved, the head lose the alignment.
    Any idea why would that be happening?????

    Here's some pictures:

    thanks in advance

    Hey -PC! Well, besides the issue you are having it looks like you are printing great quality, that egg print looks sweet, besides the issue you are having. What is the print with the coin in it?

    Well onto helping you out, is this on the x or y axis you are experiencing the slipping? If you could let me know that would be awesome and I could get you some more help!

    Hello Harris,

    it is happening on the X-axis.
    Listen, I just realize that my glass is moving a little bit, let me try fix that and see what happens.
    the brrackets that hold the glass and the heated bed are not really good doing this job :(

    Hey harry,
    apparently adding the metal clips helped and the problem was resolved. I have to say that the clips that came with the printer don't hold neither the glass or the heated bed. To be honest, the clip on the home position is touching the extruder and melting :( is there any new interaction of those clips that are better than the one I got???

    thank for now. I still have thousand of questions but I will address each one of then according.

    cheers
