Why does my printer suck.

Hi

My early efforts on ABL were driven by the wood parts moving around. It was pretty much the only way I could keep things running. My experience was that the humidity mattered a lot. Let the gizmo sit for a month and fire it up .... it's all over the place. Let it run for a day, it settles down.

Up until about 30 minutes ago I was doing fine with manual bed leveling on the Pegasus. That's when the glass broke in the middle of printing a fairly large ABS part. I guess you *can* get the part to tight down to the glass

Actually a *far* more likely culprit is getting a bit over aggressive on the pad in the center of the bed.

I have split a piece of glass with ABS before. I had eight parts lined up so as they warped, they all pulled up in the center of the bed, and they yanked out a chunk partway through the print. I ultimately modified the part slightly to allow a little warping in a non-critical area so I could continue printing full beds of parts.
