Hello. I’ve encountered what is truly the strangest problem I’ve ever had. I created a model in SolidWorks and exported it to an STL file with high quality. When the printer starts printing, it’s clear that the nozzle is at a nearly zero height. It starts scratching the bed, and because of the small gap, the plastic can’t even extrude. This issue is extremely strange, and I couldn’t pinpoint the cause even with the process of elimination. I’ve re-adjusted the nozzle position relative to the bed five times, and the offset seems to be correctly read by the sensor. Sometimes, the printer can’t even print a test line before starting the actual print due to the small gap.
Right now, I have a few main hypotheses:

Right now, I have a few main hypotheses:
- A faulty model from SolidWorks (but I don’t understand what could be wrong with the STL file itself)
- A bug in orca with this particular model
- A software bug in the printer itself
- It’s also possible that the issue lies in the settings of the Orca software, but I’m not experienced enough to spot the problem right away.
