First layer lifting after few days
in Bug Reports
Hey everyone!
I am rather new to the Repetier Server. My pulse xe and my prusa are connected to it and it worked great (aside from a small issue that got fixed with an update).
But now I am quite baffled and confused.
For around 2 weeks both printers start having first-layer issues. It happens every few days that the print fails and when I start again to see what is wrong I see that the first layer prints too high up. But just by enough to lay down the first layer to disconnect the print just a bit in.
When I recalibrate the Z offset (on printer for prusa, per mattercontrol with pulse) it seems like it is actually the same offset as before, but it prints again a perfect first layer.
When I then reconnect the Printers to the Server it works like a charm until a few days pass and the print fails again because of a too high first layer.
First I thought that it is an issue with the printer, but it wouldn't make sense that both printers have the same issue at the same time.
Also that the Z offset seems to be the same as before is weird to me.
Hope one of you can help me or guide me to find out what it is!
Thank you very much~

But sounds in deed strange. We have no control over Z positions/calibration. That is a printer internal setting stored in their eeprom I hope, or resetting/disabling printer would loose them. What might have happened is that you send somehow
M502
M500
to reset eeprom to factory defaults. Did you maybe use our eeprom editor and used that function? Otherwise I have no real idea apart from explicitly changing that setting with the proper M-Code.
I thought that maybe something about the z-height could be misconfigured so that it doesn't run along the whole rod, but it is also testing the bed every time a print starts.
No M-Command has been touched! I slice the stl through mattercontol/prusaslicer and just upload it to the Server to print.
Can't make sense of this, through the only common thing between those two printers is the Repetier server... or gnomes that sneak out at night to turn each rod by one click
