Repair sequence

Step completion

  1. 1
    Document the failure and confirm that it matches this guide: Nozzle height differs left to right or the gantry drops when motors are off.Not completed
  2. 2
    Return extreme overrides to a known printer, nozzle, material, and slicer profile so the diagnosis starts from a stable baseline.Not completed
  3. 3
    Check dual-z sides out of sync. Power off and compare both sides.Not completed
  4. 4
    Check loose frame or gantry hardware. Square the gantry mechanically.Not completed
  5. 5
    Inspect uneven wheel/eccentric adjustment. Check wheels and couplers.Not completed
  6. 6
    Rule out coupler or lead screw issue. Re-run mesh only after alignment.Not completed
  7. 7
    Change only the single setting or hardware condition supported by the evidence, then run a small test that reproduces the original failure.Not completed
  8. 8
    Compare the test against the target condition, record the successful value, and save it in a printer/material profile before repeating the full print.Not completed
