Topic: i found out why the head was hitting, x cariage is cracked
So my hot end has been hitting the last layer and losing steps. I had noticed a cracking sound which I thought was the filament coming through the bushing at the back. It was a hard sound to locate. It turns out it was the plastic around the linear bearings on the front rod of the x carriage. I came back to find a print going with the head just riding along the top of the print. The linear bearings were on the complete opposite ends of the rod. I have only had the printer a couple of months. Does anyone know if solidoodle will send me a replacement x carriage?
