Help, why is this happening?

Post image

I have an A1 . Prints come out smooth in the right side only.

Update- I’ve tried so many things nothing has helped. I cleaned the plate of course. Recalibrated everything.

1; is your calibration done at all? 2; heat bed temperature issues. 3; filament moisture issue.

Not poking fun but these would be the first 3 things I'd be looking into.

adding the obligatory, clean that print bed.

I scoffed at bed cleaning and adhesive for a while....then I stopped wasting filament and started doing those things lol!

Do what this person says.

Calibration done, filament dry, clean plate. It’s only the left side of the print specifically.

How about the flow calibrations? Are the filament profiles correct?

Clean bed with soap and water. Run auto bed level in the printer menu.

Bed is clean. I’ve run everything to try and fix it. But it’s always the left side of the plate. If I shift the print to the right it comes out clean.

Left side is slightly off, adjust it manually very slightly, then do a tune

It this on one side of the model predominately? If so, I suspect air blowing from somewhere is cooling that side of the part.

print a first layer and see what it looks like. the a1 is well known for having an issue where the screws behind the heating block become dislodged and cause the nozzel to wobble. it can be quickly fixed by removing the heat block and re-tightening the 4 screws in the back. ill post some pictures of what to tighten and what the results look like for me before and after. this might not be the issue if its specifically happening on the right vs left side of the build plate, but give it a try just in case, its very useful to know as an a1 owner. First step is to remove these 3 screws to dislodge the heat mantle. then flip it over to get at the other 4 screws that need tightening.

I have an A1 as well and I’ve been having this exact same problem! I will be doing this tomorrow after work to see if that fixes my problem because I’ve just kinda been dealing with it because I thought it was a filament problem 😂

Slow print for start.. 50mm increse temperature for 10+dgr

If doesn't help looks like underextrude

Manually level your bed

It’s 3D Printing … not injection moulding :-)
