Hi 3D Printing Community!

I have a call to action for you: The office 3D printer is not printing as it should/as it used to. I have run out of basic troubleshooting options and am not sure how to proceed in a way that will help diagnose the problem. How should I troubleshooting from here?

Efforts:

  • Callibrated the build plate with assisted leveling
  • Changed the extruder head
  • Re exported a new .makerbot file
  • Reset printer to factory settings
  • Changed the filament
  • Checked the belt tightness
  • Adjusted the temperature settings


Aside from the temperature setting, all of the prints were sliced at default medium-resolution settings.

Furthest left Benchie was printed a couple months ago when I started using the printer. This week the printer started acting up and I have been printing a lot of benchies. The middle one is how most of them are printing. Furthest right is the worst so far (got it from raising the temperature setting).
