Topic: Press bed runs too high, regardless of Z-offset
I have very nearly abandoned my efforts to have Solidoodle honor their offer of a refund on my never-worked-properly SD Press; I'm just making some last-ditch attempts, grabbing at straws, for any restitution. It is sad that Sam Cervantes lacks the ethics to be up front and transparent with his customers. If Sam has any hope of future business success, he will quickly wake up to the importance of honest and open customer relationships, or he will only repeat the Solidoodle debacle again and again. I, for one, will be warning each and all to avoid any company with which he is involved.
That said, sorry for the vent, I have a Press that has never worked. I am able to create a textbook-perfect Z-calibration print. Choosing the proper print height, however, does nothing. No matter what offset I select, the bed always runs too high. I end up with a tangled mess of filament around the print head and nothing on the bed.
The Z-offset setting is ignored and the bed is runs too high.
Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, were you able to solve it? I am not excited about this giant paperweight, particularly given its cost, the lack of papers on my workbench, and the low velocity of the wind indoors.
Thank you in advance for any insight you can share.
