Every time I print, I need to increase baby steps

@infidelprops said in Every time I print, I need to increase baby steps:

I've also noticed, that consistently, when facing the printer.. the right side of my pint seems flatter and adheres better where the left side appears a bit higher and adheres worse.

That usually means that the probe trigger height relative to the nozzle tip is varying across the bed. You can check by using feeler gauges to measure the nozzle height when the probe triggers. The usual cause of that using an offset Z probe and the print head tilting, for example because the axis is sagging or the bed plate is bowed.

So... I've ran multiple layer test over the last few hours and I haven't had to adjust the babysteps at all and all layers are sticking well... Not sure what changed as I've done so much.

I also just kicked off a new print for a prototype and it was LH 0.28, and here as well I did not need to change the babystep, first layer went down beautiful.

I'm going to keep an eye on it, but I'm bookmarking this thread as a lot of good troubleshooting steps in here for later.

@fcwilt & @Phaedrux - thank you both for all the help! If I can buy you a coffee/beer, just let me know where to donate to.
@jens55 & @zapta - also thank you for your input, very useful as well.

@dc42 Yeah, that sounds like a probable cause indeed. Once this current print finishes, I'll take a look at that as well. Thanks!
