* Had repeated/ongoing LAYER SHIFT problems with a large "lot of movements" print. | |||
** Snugged the screws to hold the plate on, as it was moving. | |||
** Tightened the printhead gantry screws. Several have nuts pulling through, so '''need to glue that part of the printer'''. | |||
** Retention both belts, by adding a printed piece onto each belt. | |||
** Still getting some Layer Shifts, so will have to try 120mm/s travel speed next. (Instead of 200mm/s) | |||
* Discovered the Print Bed Plate is no longer flat. (Small high area, centered on X-axis & bit behind Y-axis.) | |||

** 3 pieces of: https://www.digikey.ca/products/en?keywords=Wm1845-ND (Have 2 of these.) | |||

** 8 pieces of: https://www.digikey.ca/products/en?keywords=Wm1855-ND (Have 2 of these. Also for cooling fan.) | |||
** 50 pieces of: https://www.digikey.ca/products/en?keywords=Wm1841CT-ND (Have NONE of these. Also for cooling fan.) | |||
PLEASE NOTE: These connectors are '''extremely difficult''' to crimp in a manner they work. So at least '''double''' the crimp-connector parts are needed to get solid/working connectors. | |||
