An excellent post with critical safety recommendations.
A photo and the specs/model number of the relay that you are using would be very helpful in figuring this out.
NEVER did I say that an inductive probe was the only way to accomplish ABL, so stop putting words in my mouth. YOU stated that "a bed leveling probe is totally useless to fix the problem." I hate to...
ABL is a PROVEN TEHCNOLOGY. Just because YOU don't like does not change that FACT.
Empirical evidence has proven that ABL works, and works very well. The anecdotes of naysayers are incapable of...
Because a 3D printer is a moving machine, and moving machines are incapable of maintaining perfect alignment due to the laws of physics.
Inductive sensors work just fine with MakerFarm printers. This is the one that I use and it works fine through 3mm borosilicate glass. It has a sensing distance of 8mm, which works out to about 3.2mm...
RESOLVED - I reloaded the firmware and it's back to normal now.
I changed the RAMPS board on my printer.
Z offset was set at 1.25 previously. After changing the RAMPS board, now it's decided...
I'm using ESun PLA Pro. The hobbed bolt is nice and clean. Nozzle has been checked, and even replaced with a spare nozzle with no change.
Yes. That's why I'm so baffled - I cannot think of or see anything that could be causing it.
Belts are tight, all the nuts are tight, bed is clean, rods are straight, etc
Bed has been leveled manually, and then I use ABL before each print. No clicking from the extruder. Same filament as always.
Any idea what would be causing this?

Nothing has changed in my printing process. The same gaps have appeared in several different files that I have tried printing.
When my bed temp is set for 80°C, the surface temperature through the 5/16" borosilicate glass is 57.3 °C
I've never cared about the temperature of the surface - I know that setting my bed for...
He is bypassing the FET on the RAMPS board with the MOSFET he ordered. The silicone heating pad is 200 watts, and the MOSFET he ordered is rated at 25 amps, so that is fine. The NTC3950 thermistor...
Did you compile and uploaded the firmware after changing the servo endpoints?
Try testing with this, making sure the probe ends up where you expect
M401 - deploys the probe
M402 - retracts the...

I can zip mine up and give you a link to it in the morning. I have the itty bitty belted extruder and hexagon .4 3mm hot end in use right now, so you may need to edit it a bit.
Glad that I could help.
Any recommendations on a US source for a 10" x 10" heated bed, besides MakerFarm? Silicone or PCB.
The bed that came with my 10" I3v has several dead zones after a couple years of use, and I'm not...
In the configuration.h file, you will find:
//#define PROBE_SERVO_DEACTIVATION_DELAY 300
I highly suggest you uncomment this line so that it detaches the servo after movement. You have probably...
That makes sense - under load the loose set screw could allow the pulley to slip across the flat, but without the belt in place and under no load, the pulley would stay in place.
You can physically see a bump under the belt at the pulley when the skip happens. A video of the motor performing the same movements, from the same viewpoint, just without the belt in place would be...
I guess that's possible
Follow the section "Roughly Calibrate the Z Offset" here - http://clough42.com/instructions/marlin-firmware-setup/
This time elapsed between the first two prints that succeed and the following prints that fail is less than one hour - moisture is not the problem.
If it doesn't do it with the belt attached then carefully examine the pulley and belt, and replace whichever one has the defect.
