Prints have started to lean......

Hi All

My prints have started to lean along the Y Axis -any ideas what could be causing this - the bed appears to be moving freely.

Im using a Ordbot Hadron

Pretty sure you already find the problem here

This might be obvious, but have you checked that the frame is square?

I meant to say moving freely along the axis rather than sticking.

Not sure what you mean... is it supposed to stick or move? And if it's one, is it doing the other?

The bed and hot plate should move along the axis freely without sticking - i.e should be free to move. I was stating this to try and eliminate movement along the axis as a possible issue.

Ive printed another item and there appears to be a step every 5ish mm along the Y axis which causes the object to lean for taller printed objects.

Slow down your printing speed, and/or rotate the object 30 degrees around the Z, and see how that does.

Why? Units that move a lot of mass can have inertia issues at higher speeds, especially with long back-and-forth infill patterns.

Thanks all for your comments - there was actually some mileage in your %alcohol comment as the frame was as p**sed as a fart lol..... Straightened up the frame and now prints are even again ��
