X axis overscale?
Posted: Sat Mar 21, 2015 12:56 pm
My printer was running perfect. Completely perfect. Got it calibrated down to the millimeter.
Did an absolutely perfect print. Then I went to do the SAME print again. This time it went to the same starting point, began to extrude like it should. But continued extruding until it began to grind against the end of the x axis. It was extruding in the same movements, like the y movements weren't over exaggerated like that. But the X ones were.
Also, one other thing. My extruder got clogged last night so I gave up, and after looking yesterday. I found out I was given a roll of ABS. NOT PLA. I specifically asked for PLA because it was the material I needed, not ABS.
