Nozzle drags through model ?.

[alexsunny123]

Hello,

I'm new to the forum - just built the i3 Pro W; had all the usual teething problems and got through to my first print of a Benchy which went fine. However I haven't been able to get another successful print out because the nozzle starts to drag into the model after a few layers of printing - this then triggers a Mintemp warning while the head remains hot. I have very carefully leveled the bed before the failed prints and I have moved the z axis by 0.1 increments through the trouble area with no problems. It looks to me like the nozzle needs more clearance but I don't know if that's right and I can't find out how to adjust the clearance.

thanks
alexsunny

Sounds like the Z-stepping is off somehow.
Strange that you got a successful bency, however...

Double check that 1mm increment in Z really is 1mm.
Also check extrusion for over extrusion.
