Re: Bed shifts on Z during printing, forming blobs in layers

If it is a first-layer phenomenon, you may also try adding .05-.10 mm of Z offset. It COULD be "blobbing" because of too much backpressure in your hot-end. As always, let us know your printer type/material and other relevant stats for better help... I have a first-gen DITTO, comparable to...

If the bed is dropping during a retraction then that is in the layer tab. Retraction vertical lift. Generally you want that though. You keep it set around 0.2mm. Oddly enough I don't have that set (in the Extruder tab), my settings are: Retraction Distance: 1.2 Extra: 0.0 Retraction Vertical Lift: ...

Bed shifts on Z during printing, forming blobs in layers.

Experiencing a very odd phenomenon, which I have not been able to isolate. It became very pronounced when printing a brim on a model today. During printing, it will consistently jerk / recoil the bed away from the print head during part of the layer causing a very wide blob to form. This gets compou...

Auto lowering bed after print.

In other software I've used the Gcode will automatically tell the bed to lower after the print is completed, so the hot print head doesn't sit on the model. Is there a setting similar to this in Simplify3D?
