Topic: nozzle not going to next layer

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my printer, and maybe someone knows how to fix this.

Okay so when I print my object, it just prints like usual. But when its done with a layer, its going to the next layer without going a level up?...
This means that my print comes out in one layer with some bits and bops on it.

Anyone know how to fix this?
Thaaaaankss

Re: nozzle not going to next layer

Can you post the model as well as your start gcode and if possible the first 20 or so lines after the start gcode?

Can you move the Z axis by hand when there is no power? It is possible the endstop or harness for the endstop on the Z axis could be bad or acting up as well.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

Sure.
I tried all kinds of models though, so Ill just attach a small cube.

If I rotate the large screw for the Z-axes it moves, yes.

Thanks for helping in any case smile
