My Ender 3 V3 has been acting odd recently, and i found out why. The X-axis gantry is tilted, i checked with 2 PS4 CD-cases and the left side of the gantry is around 1-2mm higher than the right side. I know i should level it to be flush with the base, but how do i do that? The printer in question is the belt-driven baseline V3 (so not the SE/KE) and i cannot find information on how to adjust the tilt of the gantry. How do i do it?
Have you checked the hex screws holding it all in place??
Printers need regular maintenance and tightening of the screws due to the amount of vibration caused by printing. Check out of your screws have loosened and realign that way. Hopefully it works, then just add regular tightening to your normal maintenance list.
I have checked and tightened all the screws on the printer properly, even the ones holding the X-axis and Z-axis rods in place. Though i haven’t checked if the right side rod screws are behind the filament runoaut sensor tho, checking now. (Also i think the X-axis has been tilted ever sice i got it, i just never noticed cuz i don’t usually do big prints)
Ah-ha, i seem to have been a bit dumb and i have tightened the belts wrong.
I’m so glad it worked!! Most of the time when I see problems it’s a maintenance thing that helps. Happy printing!!
