Hey y’all, I managed to hack together a printer from scratch and I’m struggling to get it to print well. It’s a CoreXY system that’s being controlled by a Octopus 1.1. Dual z screws, the works.

I have it moving under it’s own power and all. It’s able to actually print, but the results are atrocious.

I’m just trying to diagnose what’s wrong here.

The bottom/first layer actually looks kinda good. It’s just completely shredding subsequent layers.

Any advice would be appreciated!

    If you’ve not done a full calibration? If not, start and work the process. Take your time with it, do each step multiple times.
