It has been that sort of weekend.
Fixed the Y axis leaning issue last week. Tightened the belt and the pulley set screw. Neither budged much but it seemed to help
Then trying out the ruby nozzle and carbon fiber filament! Some success, some not.
Hard filament to use, for sure. Lot's of good tips from Neo along the way.
Then it got plugged up big time. Lot's of time dismantling and fixing that
Now I notice print on the right side of the bed is very problematic despite the print head being level/calibrated....not sure what to believe, the level or the lousy prints!
So...print in center...I can work with that.
And my latest prints show leaning again. Ahhhhh!
So tired of experimenting and just want to PRINT It may be time to retire this little creature!

Re: When your 3D printer is out to get you...
Apart from building a fully functional C3PO which could communicate with your printer to find out what's wrong the only other possibility I see is to go through that whole mess...
In such cases I physically swapped the x and the y motor in order to check the axes. Do you actually have an UMO or an UMO+? With an UMO you can also swap the stepper drivers in order to check if the problems change the direction. If they do, something is wrong with a motor or stepper driver if they don't it's something mechanical on an axis.

It's a UMO, not the +
