  1. I've opened the STL-files and can't see anything wrong with them... the 3MF-file contains only the objects, not the printer setting (choose for SAVE PROJECT, not EXPORT)...

     

    - Leveling the bed of an Ender printer is not that difficult, you do need to have the patience to do it right! I have a Ender 3 Pro and I had to level the bed only 2 or 3 times... first time when I bought the printer, second time when I switched from the flex magnetic bed to a steel flex plate with Lokbuild! The third time when I thought there was something wrong with my printer but instead it was the role of PLA that I was using!

     

     

    * Check if the printer is build the way it should be, everything has to align... there are lots of YoouTube videos explaining how to build an Ender printer and where to pay extra attention too

     

    * Check the tension of the belts, too loose will result in bad printings!

     

    * Check bed-level... sometimes you have to level the bed a few times to get good result. For my Eder 3 pro I use 2 GCode-files, 1 that moves the nozzle to every corner and center of the buildplate (for leveling) and 1 that prints squares to see if the bed-leveling is done correct or maybe needs some tweaking. Chuck Hellebuyck is the guy who made this files. Files and explanation how they work can be found on his website: https://www.chepclub.com/bed-level.html

     

    If you re-upload the 3MF-file I will take a look at it again... But first make sure the hardware is ok, then play with the settings in the software (slicer)...

  2. You have to change the print sequence to "One At A Time"...

     

    Imported the different object, uanble to slice because the safety-areas overlap... Not able to slice and print!

    Moved the objects, so there is no overlapping the the safety-areas...  Able to slice and print!

    You will also save some printing time because there are less travels between the different object...

  3. Telling us only the version will not help to solve you problem!

     

    What kind of computer? OS? What is the error you get!

     

    Most problems are easy to solve by restarting the computer or re-installing the software.

  4. The position of the first lines changed during different versions of Cura... I like to maximize my buildvolume, so I moved these lines closer to the edge of the buildplate... sometimes I remove the line directly after it is printed 😉. Compare your Start G-code with the part of my G-code!

     

    G1 X5.1 Y20 Z0.28 F5000.0 ;Move to start position
    G1 X5.1 Y200.0 Z0.28 F1500.0 E15 ;Draw the first line
    G1 X5.4 Y200.0 Z0.28 F5000.0 ;Move to side a little
    G1 X5.4 Y20 Z0.28 F1500.0 E30 ;Draw the second line

     

  5. 4 hours ago, tr0g said:

     I copied the CR-6 definition file supplied by Creality for their slicer, which is just the old 4.2 Cura running a custom skin. 4.7 takes the definition file but then everything goes wonky.

     

    That is what IT-specialists call "PEBKAC"  - Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair...  😉

     

    Why copying files when creating a new printer is easy in Cura? There is not much difference between CR-3, CR-5 and CR-6 like @Torgeir already mentioned.

     

     

  6. Labist/Anet... if you look at pictures of both they look the same... so in theory selecting the Anet ET4 printer should work!

     

    Temps of Nozzle and Bed are of nu influence of your problem, the drifting off... Why is it doing this? You say everything looks okay in Cura, but when printing it goes wrong! We have to figure out what happens. So upload the 3MF-file so one of the experts on this forum can take a look at it and see if  they can spot something!
