thank you for the reply but how would i know what the right calibrations are for the stepper motors all i know its 200x200x180mm but its settings are back on "restore failsafe settings" if that makes any sence at all? the frame seems straight on the 90 degre angle so im not sure what the problem is right now, the table its on is wobbly and moves when the printer is printing but i have a solution for that ill see how it goes and ill be back if i have no joy

thank you. also i know my work bench aint level right now however once thats fixed i will be looking at my printer, im itching with pure excitement but i cant do much about the work station right now as i need to a new on... hopefully level, however i have been looking over my setting im sure theirs room for adjustment too. i just wish i understood what they was and what they do in simple terms lol. its amazing because i learned how to understand a commuter and fix them and manage to do things by myself however when it comes to this 3d printer its leaving me scratch my head. ill give what u said a go and see where that takes me but for now im not able to do anything due to a injury so im keeping notes. if there is any more advise that you could give me o hear it be much appreciated and ill defo look into filament fridays from chep and see if that takes me anywhere

thank you i will be looking into it more, but come apon closer looking i have found thet altho my floor is abou 2 degrees out from being straight the work bench im using is at an angle and could be causing the printer frame to also tilt forward i bit. i have tighened the belt on x&y axis and used a digital measurement gauge to get the z axis strait so ,im guessing this tilt problem could be the main issue for right now? software and settings are so confusing when im not exactly sure of the terminology of the printer yet, i just learned what the zyx axis are lol on the cura program itself i will be looking at tweeking it a little but for now i think my main consern is this tilt the leveling is almost spot on each time from the bed its 0.5mm from bed to nozzle in all corners however between the right hand side of the bed between top and bottom screws its touching the bed in the middle ( same on the left side too) but i thought as long as the bed was level to the corners the middle between the screws would be the same as the corners even on a slight tilt

Hello everyone i have recently brought a ctc prusa i3 reprap mk8 DIY kit mk2a and built everything, I'm completely new to 3d printing and ran into a few problems on my 1st layer print (not sticking to the bed, getting knocked off by the nozzle and scraping the bed with the nozzle..you know the normal 1st timer mistakes) well i sorted some problems like adjusting the screw that hits the z end stopper and adjusting the bed (which i think is still not level) and managing to print something at least. but this is proving to be difficult for my brain. im not good with words so ill try to describe it the best i can and hopefully attach pictures and my project to. but it looks like little hairs from one raised layer to another, the layers look zigzag and a few cracks in the print too. also some how i cant seem to print a circle for some reason it comes deformed and not round the stl is the file i downloaded the 3mf file is the saved project and i showed pictures of the print itself. (sorry if poor quality on pic) i don't normally come on hear so i may get back in a few days or so for any advise given (please dumb it down for me) i have looked everywhere else for solutions however its like the infomation is alien to me additional info: extruder 200*c heated bed 80*c gantry height 0.6 hopefully it shows my settings on the file thank u in advance for looking at this all i want is a decent build lol Filament_guide.stl PI3MK2_Filament_guide.3mf
