What are some of the questions we answered this week?

So, what do you think of the anycubic Chiron printer?

My prints dont stick what do I do?

Question for you all what does it mean when I print one model it comes out very clean no layer lines but when I plant a different model I can see a layer lines all through it and it’s the same PLA?

I have an ender 3 v2 and added a bltouch with the smith3d firmware. When I run the bed visualizer in octoprint, it seems to come back with different measurements each time!

On my endstop. I thought it was crashing into the endstop. On the x gantry. But it turned out to be I had the belt too tight. It would not let the carriage go all the way to the endstop.

How to you level the middle of the bed my corners are perfect but the middle is way to close and there is no middle knob?

What are someof the questions we answered this week?

I have a Troxy XY2 Pro, need to keep setting my Z to 0 before every print, anything I should be looking into?

What does it mean when you get small bumps your first and second layer?

On the subject of the bltouch, I have one and I also have the SPR Mini version 2 from Big Tree Tech I have downloaded the file and put it onto the SD card do I install the file first?

Top of my print shows infill, looks like a skeleton around the edge. what causes this?

 I used your advice for bed leveling with a piece of paper it has worked flawlessly right out of the box.

My computer recently crashed and I lost all my settings for Cura, I want to know is there a way I can regain my settings from one of my old G Codes that I had saved on my SD card?

I know this might sound crazy but I dont know how to get a filmwere? I am only 3 weeks into 3d printing.

I understand that bed-leveling is crucial to quality printing, other than the paper method, are there any products sold that are more accurate than a piece of paper?
