【FAQs】3D printer not working properly


#1

Q: My 3D printer works stuttered, how to fix?

A: The problem should come from the whole platform you have built, which isnt falt enough. Hereby I have prepared pictures, should be helpful for my explanation. you didnt make the Part 1 & Part 2 at the same height, inbalance would cause as your video shows. You can use a vernier calipers for precise measurement.
For example, if you find Part 1 is higher than Part 2, you can hold Part 3, and dont let it move. At the same time, rotate Part 4 to reach the same height.

Also there is a rough way for testing, there is a Spirit level coming with the package. You can watch it and make sure the bubble is in the middle.

I had this problem and found loose screws on the vertical shafts that the Z axis rides up and down on. Then I did a basic leveling with power off and after allowing the machine to travel to the top and back to the bottom a few times the problem is solved.
