Hi all
Let me start off by saying thank you to anyone who reads this post. I am honestly at my whits end with this printer, actually considering replacing it its given me that much of a headache but as Victor Frankenstein once did, i believe i can get this Monster working.
So to start off with, I replaced the print bed. The Original print bed it came with was getting damaged via PETG so I replaced it with a PEI bed. Now I could not for the lift of me find a print bed for the S1 Plus, the print bed is 310x315 and all of the print beds on amazon where for the S1 Pro - not the Plus. This bed has been great however its worth mentioning it is a PEI bed, not the standard bed.
I had to replace the entire hot end too, reason - plastic blob paid me a visit. Now I don't know how it happened but the plastic was so wrapped around its self that it damage the thermomotor so i had to get that replaced. Now the hot end on the S1 Plus is the same as the Pro so I found one on amazon and replaced it.
And its been running iffy since then.
I cant tell at all what's wrong with it. I have levelled the bed using Manual Trimming and the CL Touch. All four corners are 0.04mm within each other. the lowest is like 0.02 and the highest is 0.06.
Sometimes the PETG doesn't stick to each other while its printing so i have little strands of PETG just sticking up and normally this will somehow make its way into the fan or the strand will attach its self to the hot end or a mini ball of PETG will appear on the hot end and scrap the print. I do not know why or how to fix this, all the bolts are tight and are on, theres no gaps as far as i can tell.
Not even to mention i think the entire print head is slanted and dipping into the print. It doesn't sit straight. I have tried tightening the bolts and all the bolts are tight.
I am printing the PETG at 230 and 80. PLA at 215 and 70. I get somewhat better quality with PAL but same issues happen. Any advice or help would be appreciated.
