Last night, I put on the new extruder motor, dual gear extruder, and replaced the brass lead screw nuts. A note for anyone trying - Getting these nyloc nuts back on is suuuuper fun. :sarcasm: PXL_20230104_184950249.jpg I ran the e-steps 4 times after initially setting it to the new motor/extruder, a...

Just to update: I have ordered a replacement stepper motor and I already have an extra dual gear extruder I can stick on too, just for certainty. I also ordered a replacement set of brass nuts for the Z rods. I opted for a set of the anti-backlash nuts just so I could check them out, since I am repl...

Once I adjusted for the +4mm, I ran the test again and I was off by -10mm (90mm actual extrusion). So, I adjusted a...

I appreciate the suggestions! I did initially adjust the e-steps, but it won't hurt to check again. I will post my findings after work and checking out those videos. Thanks again! I think what's causing your nozzle drag and layer shifting is over extruding material. What looks to be happened is your...
