Well, I’m mechanically inclined. I’ve always been willing to listen to other people‘s experiences.

And I’m still new to 3-D printing. Any advice or links for best practices would also be appreciated.

i picked up a 3v2 off a guy on facebook marketplace recently who said he had modified it in various ways i don’t quite understand, such as it has an auto-level feature now. this is my first ever printer so i don’t know how to troubleshoot it myself. whenever its printing, leveling, or even just turned on, the printer makes a very annoying grinding sound when it’s on the left side of the bed. it gets worse the more left it goes.

i’m sure it’s whatever the casing of the nozzle-thingy is that’s causing it, considering the fact that it’s held together with a piece of tape and when i press on it the noise drops dramatically, but i have no idea what that actually means and how to fix it. is there anything i can do?

hello all,

i updated my ender 3 v2 to sprite pro. have gone through all the necessary steps as with settings and hardware and firmware.

the printer is working fine except i have a problem with the first layer not sticking to the surface (default glass surface). after that it prints fine.

have tried reducing speed, changing z depth, cleaning glass etc. but still happenn9ing.

the weird thing is that it sticks fine when the prints just starts and the printer prints a line at the left side (that's how i know my z depth is ok). after that it goes to the center and nothing sticks...

any ideas will be great.

thanks in advance,

joel
