Anet a8 printing stagger

[ashly1990]

Hi everyone, just finished putting together the anet a8. Did a first print which was a little box that came on the sd card. Most of it seems okay but down the outside right hand side and the inside left hand side it seems to have stagared and given a bumpy
Surface. I’ve attached some pictures, anyone have any ideas? It did seem like the hotbed was staggering when it was moving

Just making sure you have checked you belt tension?
Doesnt need to be uber tight.
I have mine setup so that with a decent amount of pressure, the belts wont actually touch.

Also take the belt off and make sure that the bed can go back and forward smoothly.
You should not have any feelings of tightness at all if it can be helped.

It seems your 3D printer has not been squirting the filament well enough at the edges which lead to such troubles. You can check your 3D printer settings for this and also check your 3D printer belt to ensure that it operates smooth enough.
