HELP - First Row Not Printing Properly

[curious aardvark]

rather than stretching the springs - it's better to screw the bolts up so the springs are really tight.
The other thing I've done with my i3 is to make some thumbscrews that use locking nuts and screw the springs up pretty tight. That way, calibration should be almost a one time affair.
Or rather it will be once I've fitted an aluminium base - at the moment the bed frame is only attached to the printing frame at one end. Crap design. But once I've bolted both frames to a sheet of 4 or 5mm aluminium, It should be a one time calibration :-)

Sounds like you have yours set up good. I do need to replace the wing nuts as they are very loose on the bolt.

To get my screws up tight I will need to lower the head just on the right side. I am not sure if just turning the worm gear will do that. I might have to go back and watch the set up videos again.


EDIT: I'll do this first and adjust the z axis.
