Leveling and other issues...

[Radoos]

Hey,
Is it normal that printer looses leveling even in the middle of a print? After print bed is completely unleveled. Usually after 40 minutes of printing it starts to shifting, nozzle starts to hook on previously printed layers. While printing extruder tries to push too much pla to the nozzle (knocking sound). Probably that's the reason why nozzle is non stop being stuffed.

Also I feel like the software is bugged as hell. Level counter is showing random numbers. Sometimes printer tries to go to the home position and it does not stops where it should. I have to turn it off to prevent damage.

WTF Geeetech.

Hi, You need to level the hot bed,
The slicing software recommends using Repetier Host or cura;
Reslice and print
You can also provide printed pictures so that we can better solve the problem.

So I was playing a bit with this printer and now I'm almost sure that it has some serious issues and I don't think that we can even solve them here.

Here are some more issues I got:
1. Printer is unable to keep the level even for one print.
2. While I was trying to print another model at first it hanged up repeating one step.
3. Next attempt ended with unsticking part of the first layer
4. Last attempt: Nozzle got jammed while printing first layer! Nozzle jammed again!

I tried to unjam nozzle with guides that I found here without any success.

I'm highly disappointed.

[EDIT] I forgot to mention that at this point I have no working nozzle left. After week of struggling with this "printer".

Well, I was hoping for at least one constructive response here and not a lesson about what 3d printing hobby is.
For me it's about creating things and not struggling with shitty printer.

Hi, The distance between the nozzle and the hot bed is the distance of a piece of leveling paper,
If the distance is too close, the print will be scratched, affecting the subsequent results of printing;
Printing speed reference range: 30-60mm / s;
You can also calibrate the extruder;
If you use pla for printing, the printing temperature is around 190-210;
If you use cura for slicing, remember to change the diameter of the consumable to 1.75.

@William,
Prints that I posted here were made after leveling and setting all parameters accordingly to printer preferences and used PLA.
As I wrote in my first post, printer seems to be losing leveling while printing! There's also ton of other issues which makes this printer completely useless. All of them are totally random. My firmware version is "1.4-null" - LOL

E180, a compact, reliable and multi-functional 3D printer, is engineered to be cost-effective, with the aim of getting 3D printing technology accessible to every age group. It offers a slew of practical features to render this new tech easy-to-manage both for beginners and pros.

Not really.
