Hello, we have a pirate3d buccaneer, and we have been having problems. Our designs print with some layers printing very good, dense, and other layers that look like they were eaten by acid. These layers are not dense and consistent. They are rough and partially see through. The printer will vary back and forth, with some layers good for approximately 5mm, then it will turn to crap for 3-6mm.



We took off the nozzle, and checked the gear mechanism, then reassembled. Now it won't calibrate at all. The lower plate comes up and rams into the nozzle as the gears are under excess tension.


Any suggestions?


Thank you for your time,


Zack
