Hi, I just got my printer some days ago. I’m having an issue with the tall printings. I’m attaching some pictures to explain better. I thought I needed to tighten the belts, it didn’t solve the problem. Does anyone know what is causing this? And how can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

ABS needs an enclosure for larger prints. Because when abs cools down it shrinks slightly, if the other layers are still warm when previous layers are cold it will cause warping and delamination.

A way to verify that its the abs with no enclosure is to print it in PLA and see if the issues occur still. If they do then its possibly something with the machine.

I have this printer and I too experienced a multitude of printing problems. I’m glad to say it’s all functioning correctly now. The first big thing to eliminate would be the settings in your slicer. The guys over at simplify3D have done all the leg work for you when it comes to custom settings and I can verify that their settings work perfectly. So if you aren’t already I would get your hands on a copy of simplify and see if your problems persist, at least then you will know if it is a config issue or a hardware issue.

Oh, and before you go prodding the main board I would first look at how much it is to replace (it’s not cheap). Tevo included a warranty sheet with the printer so if it isn’t working I’d contact them first.
