the balls from the ball bearing aren't supposed to be just chilling where ever right?

During printing, I heard something fall inside. The printer continued working normally, so I didn't think much of it. When it finished, I discovered a screw inside that doesn't belong anywhere, or at least I haven't found where it goes yet.

The only clue I have is that a 2.0mm Allen key fits.

Any idea where it goes?

the Print is a Centauri Carbon 2

P.S. I've continued printing without any problems, at least for now...

Do I grease these up?

I am having trouble with my CC1 I am new to 3d printing. please help. My benchie looks like a worm like mess. could you help me spot all the issues and help me solve them?

I didnt print for 2 months. Everything printed smoothly last time.

(started the printer up, it asked for an update, installed the update. All nice and well. Im guessing this is a Hardware problem, not Software, but wanted to include it for the full picture)

Now the Z Axis Motor makes a sound and doesn't rotate the spindle while making the sound. And it only makes the sound when the Z axis switches direction. In the video you can see, its totally fine with multiple steps in the same direction. Even repeatedsmall ones. Starting/Stopping often. but when the direction is switched, compared to the last step, it makes that sound and doesn't move. Sometimes for a shorter, sometimes a longer amount of time. but only when switching direction.

This kept me from printing, because the bed slowly wanders/creeps up during the repeated up and down steps during the resin heating phase at the beginning of a print. And then fails with a 'please troubleshoot' message on screen.

I have already greased the Z axis spindle and the sliding rails. no change. happens with and without the print bed attached. so I don't think its a friction issue.

there is also no spilled resin in the Z axis motor or anywhere, as I've never had a spill (and I checked to be sure).

Is there anything else to be done? or just replace the Z axis motor?

Happy Easter!

I just received my Centauri carbon delivery yesterday and when I unboxed it, I noticed a dent on the bottom panel of the printer. It looks like impact damage. The printer will not turn on. First time dealing with elegoo. I have the delivery insurance with seel and filed a claim. What are other people’s experience with getting a replacement? Was it a smooth process?

i recently got a Neptune 4 max and after a few good prints its struggeling with the First layers. i use Pla on the Pla optimized plate i cleaned today. 220°c for the nozzle and 60°c for the plate. can anyone Tell me how to improve my results?

My first few prints didn’t have nearly as much as this, what’s going wrong?

My Eleggo is making a weird noise, almost like a groan tube or a mosquito! Can somone help? I'm so nervous, don't wanna lose my baby :'(

I’m relatively new to 3D printing, I ve never had this happen before, how can i fix this?

Printer is Elegoo Neptune 4 Max

I recently got the Mars 4 but I am unable to get anything to print. I’ve done changed the bottom exposure time layer height everything I could find while researching in troubleshooting on why nothing would print to the plate, but there is a little print left on the tray. I’m really new to 3-D printing, so I’m not sure what I am doing wrong.

During homing my cc occasionally jumps to the side and proceeds to slam harder than usual after at stops. Also when printing the purge line after this occurs it hits the frame, causing a rather loud thud. According to Elegoo support this is normal operation...

What do you guys think? Curious what the consensus is here
