Looking at the picture the belts are too slack and need to be tighter. If they are tight then slow the printer down.
I have this printer which to be honest is very poor, and a CTC PRUSA I3 clone. i will print that lighthouse on the CTC so you can do a comparison. The cost of the CTC is around £160.

Your right. However that was on quick settings. I printed a model on the fine settings and got got this result
Where do I sign up?
Tried installing the ‘update’ and now all I get is a green light on the front of the oversized paperweight and the fans going.
I have spent 2 days so far trying to uninstall and reinstall, defrag, restart, still nothing!
I have removed the top covers and all the connections are fine.
In the Config tab I can go to manual config and then connect, it then changes status to idle, short pause then hangs on ‘4 command waiting’ hangs for a while more then gives the error message that it cant connect to the printer. The light on the front of the printer is green but doesnt do anything when i press it.
I was really looking forward to printing but alas it doesnt look like its going to happen.

You need to hold the safety switch on the right hand side by the v3 emblem if u look in the hole at the side of it you will see a switch iv rested a marker pen on it it will kick in then
Hi Barry,
there might be a couple of things you are missing in the process here.
firstly, have you completed the build?
try doing this if you haven’t already, turn on the printer at the back using the red switch, open up the V3 software
and open up the manual control as you have been doing.
as soon as you have clicked connect, are you making sure you have pressed down the hood limit switch? as the printer is designed to not connect unless its safety screen is down. ( you also need to tick the “disable hood limit switch” in the settings before all this)
feel free to contact my email jakerhp22@gmail.com where i can send pics of specific parts to go with what I’m trying to explain.
Ive spent some serious man hours attempting to perfect the printer and as far as I’m concerned, i have got it working as well as it will. as you can see in the pic, this is the best print I’ve had so far.
And once connected, you can release the switch!
I too would like a refund as i am quite frankly disappointed with what we have been given.
However I am totally unsure of what direction to go in as i have already been refused a refund by eagle moss!
WARNING!
Anyone who has received that extra fan in issue 91 to cool the filament as it prints…
It might only be me but i installed it, and unfortunately figured out the fan nozzle sat below the printer nozzle, thus resulting in a big grinding clash when the fan nozzle hit the side of the print bed !!
I thought there was only 90 issues
So did I but if you subscribe via the website it continues and you get extras like in the picture
I think we need to get some sort of partition going it is truly shocking what we end up with and there are so many flaws in the design software that clearly isn’t compatible with Windows 10 etc
I agree. Perhaps somebody could get an email to Sebastian conrad associates via the email in a comment below and cc everyone in. I think there’s 4 of us wanting a refund atm…

Ha! Me too. Took it off but didn’t bin it. That cost 7.99 and I intend to get my money back!
