Than you @AndersK 😃

Indeed both motor and belt were a bit loosen. I tightened them and as you can see in pictures now the holes are circular (as it should be).

 

 Have one last issue with this printer which is concerning the top finish. It does still look a bit rough and not closed although it is on the 3D model.

Any clue on that?

 

Thank you so much for all the precious guidance on this 3D printer!

Hi there again, as I am having a look to the axis now and on their alignment I was thinking if it is forth doing it without having the sewing machine oil (as recommended). What do you think, shall I go ahead and do it without oil or is worth to use it whistl doing the alignment?

Many thanks for the suggestions 😃

Thank you Smithy. Here is a picture of the 2 tests (apologise the low quality).

I attach the 3mf files as well, hopefully it will help.

We bought some magnalube g and sewing machine oil to realign the axles, hopefully they'll arrive soon.

Hy there,

I am trying to print a calibration test piece which has a cylindrical component, unfortunately the printer is printing oval shapes instead and does not print a closed top layer.

Does anyone have a clue about how to solve these issues?

Any help is very much appreciated.
