Me and you both! Thankfully the lord has blessed me with several CNC orders lately and that has kept me stocked up with Filament and got me the new X2D!

I donāt need another expensive hobby x100
Iāve wanted a home CNC for a while and saw I can print parts to one. But for now Iāll just use the 5āx10ā at the makerspace.

How old is your download of the files? I know there were a few random issues a week or so back that @MakeGood_Noam fixed with a new upload to makerworld. Might be worth downloading a new copy
I get those occasionallyāyou need to manually move it over a few millimeters.

I tried to auto arrange it in the plate and it was a no go. I guess Iāll try typing in the move. Or buy an H2D
I think really fresh. I started what, 5 days ago?

I might just download it again sine he updated it this weekend it appears.
Auto arrange doesnāt work for some parts, but you can still manually move and re position parts on the plate.
But you are 100% correct----buying H2D is the best way to handle this issue

Well had a layer shift in the rear storage part that was printing.
First time Iāve had one of those. Hopefully it doesnāt happen again.
I really need a second printer to be productive with this. I want to dedicate my spare time to making these things

My A1 does all my TPU, my P2S the PETG. I need a third printer for my pet projects and kids stuffā¦
I said I was going to print some of the things I wanted around the house, then I printed 1 part for TMT #5ā¦ just 1 I saidā¦ Right - Iām all in - full build mode. Well 12 days Iāll have a printer freed upā¦lol

Same part, same layer shift. What the heck manā¦11 hours in. So far 22 hours wasted and I think a spool of filament at this point.
Iāll clean the carbon rods and reset the belt tension, realize, and hope for the best.
If it fails again then idk what to do
The blue and purple look good together!
Run a test piece, something small. Add a plate and a primitive item so that it uses all of the profile settings. See if it shifts at the same place.

Smart. Iāll make a tall cube in fusion after I do a deep cleaning on the carbon rods and retension the belt
You can do it right in BS like @Little_Charlie was saying. Add a blank plate, right click and add primitive - cube. Then scale the cube to the size you need it. click print.
didnt know that
I did make a cube in tinkercad, 3"x3"x5" but so far no layershift. I guess ill clean the rods and such and try again with a new slice

Do you have any spots curling up on the print right around where the layer shift is?
I know that Iāve said this before but it kicked my butt for several days tooā¦
I had a small piece of filament stuck in the threads of a screw. It caused the same issue with a layer shift at a consistent layer height. I really focus on printer cleaning nowadays.

Wow, I missed where you said that before. Thatās crazy but good find for sure! Always a good thing when you find the smoking gun. I hate when things go wrong and then just work fine after with no apparent reason. Hard to learn anything that way lol. I guess its time for me to pick up the little Fanttik vacuum I have been eyeballing. Iāve got way too much of their stuff already 
I have a problem
