Re: bed leveling issues

Thank for the information. I do make sure the gantry is level with the top of the machine. I can't check level against bottom rails as they are not level with each other (see below) I did notice a couple of other things. 1) I was not being exactly precise where I placed the print head while making t...

bed leveling issues

I am having a hard time with the bed maintaining level. I have the Creality CR-10 S5. From what I have read, the bed should stay level for some time once set. My experience has been that the bed does not stay level very long. In fact, if I move the bed back and fourth, this can cause it to go out of...

Re: Printer seems to mirror parts

I figured it out. Creality had swapped the tabs of the x-axis and y-axis cables. Works now. Thanks for all the replies.

Re: Printer seems to mirror parts

Post an Image of what you are 3D Printing verses what is actually printed. If it is mirrored right to left X axis or if it is mirrored top to bottom the Y axis cabling could be incorrect. Now if both the X and Y Axis are mirrored then the X and Y cable could be reversed, this could be caused by fac...

Printer seems to mirror parts

I am using Ultimaker Cura with a Creality CR-10 S5 3D printer. When I go to print, the x-axis appears to be going in the wrong direction. For example if I print an "L", it will be backwards. I have checked all settings and everything looks good. Motors have been verified connected correctl...
