Hey everyone,
I recently got a Voron 2.4 R2 printer and have been experiencing some frustrating Z precision issues. Before I delve into the details, I want to clarify that the problem doesn't seem to be related to incorrect gantry leveling. The issue persists consistently across the entire print bed.
To provide some context, I previously used an Ender 3 printer with only a Z endstop. With that machine, I never had to worry about leveling the bed, and I could start a print, leave the room, and return to a successfully completed print later. However, with my Voron 2.4 R2, I'm encountering difficulties with Z precision, and I suspect there might be an underlying issue causing this disparity.
Here's a summary of the problem: The first layer offset varies inconsistently within a range of approximately +-0.05/0.1. This inconsistency leads to three possible scenarios. In one case, the print gets firmly smushed into the build plate, with the extruder almost touching the surface. On the other hand, if the offset is too high, the print lines become separate, and the model fails after a few layers due to poor adhesion. If im lucky, the layer height is spot on. This varies in between each print, even if I change nothing at all.
I've tried adjusting the Z offset and have managed to find a middle ground that at least reduces the issue somewhat. However, I still need to manually adjust the Z height during the print to achieve satisfactory results which do not fail and come of the build plate.
I would greatly appreciate any advice or guidance from those who have experience with the Voron 2.4 R2 printer or other similar printers. Have any of you encountered similar problems? If so, how did you troubleshoot and resolve the issue? I'm open to any tips or suggestions that could help me overcome this challenge.
Thank you all in advance for your assistance and valuable insights.
Best regards,
Julian
