Topic: Da Vinci 1.0a printing ovals
I’m banging my head against the wall at this point. I bought a used Da Vinci 1.0a that is running Repetier and I’m having an issue where it prints objects that are supposed to be as ovals. I’ve checked the belts, I have the Y carriage lined up ( both sides touch the rollers in the front at the same time, as best I can tell .) I’ve tweaked the slicer settings.
I’m at the point that no matter what I do I’m getting no improvements. Is there anything else I should check, or re-check?
Ignore the bed lines, the ring is oriented about how it would print based on the X axis
My thought is that since the curve starts to far on the left side, on the attached photo, the left side of the carriage is slightly behind the right. The problem is no matter how far forward I move the left side, even obviously ahead of the right side, it literally makes no difference in the print. I’m I thinking about this wrong? Will the print look exactly the same unless both sides are perfectly lined up? I’m just at a loss right now ..,
