Topic: Printer drags through existing layers.

Hey there.
My 3d printer is draging through a existing layer when it prints. I can hear a creeeeeek sound and my desk starts to vibrate the nozzle only .05 too far down or something like that.

Re: Printer drags through existing layers.

Have you checked if your bed is warped?  If it is, grab one of these and swap it in.  I had similar issues, and kicked myself that I didn't replace the warped bed sooner, as having a non-warped bed dramatically upped my print quality.  Swapping only takes about 10 minutes.

Check your calibration, I have had the same issue.

Happy Printing!
