It does not just sit there and melt, it swirls around whilst chucking out a lot of material. to be honest I think there is a fault.
I'm printing at 220 on the quick print settings.
could someone tell if these things are faults.
1. It does not print when I click print. I have to go into the jog settings and jog the x, y and z, otherwise it will start printing with the build platform at the bottom.
2. the prints are printed on the platform about 2cm to the left from where they are on cura. so does this mean the x and y are out of alignment.
3. some times it prints with no material coming out because the filament has retracted half way down the clear tube. some times the material comes out in spots like there's a blockage. most of the time when printing, the feeder make a ticking noise every 3 seconds, I would not think anything about it but the manual says this indicates a blockage.
4. when the print has finished the print head does not cool down and the platform does not lower. Is this normal?
5. I ran the bed levelling wizard in cura and when it drew a line round the plate the print head smashed into the metal clip that holds the glass on the platform. it take it that can't be right.
could someone please advise since I have only had the machine 3 days and I need to make sure that these things are faults and nothing I could have done before I get the shop to replace the machine.
