If layer shifting happens, please check next 2 problems as follows,


 


1. Moving too fast


If you are printing at a very high speed, the motors for your 3D printer may struggle to keep up. If you attempt to move the printer faster than the motors can handle, the motor fails to achieve the desired position. If this happens, the remainder of the print will be misaligned with everything that was printed before it. If you feel that your printer may be moving too fast, try to reduce the printing speed by 50% to see if it helps. Also, this often happens through specific printing model.


 


2. Mechanical or Electrical Issues


If the layer misalignment continues, even after reducing your print speed, then it is likely due to mechanical or electrical issues with the printer. Many 3D printers also include a series of belts that are driven by pulleys attached to a stepper motor shaft using a small set-screw (otherwise known as a grub screw). If the set-screw loosens, the pulley will no longer rotate together with the motor shaft. This means that the motor may be spinning, but the pulley and belts are not moving. When this happens, please call our service center for repair.
