PRINT SHIFTING
Description of Issue
Lower and top layers' shift during printing causing a stepping effect. Mechanical parts are
preventing smooth motion and the added friction is causing the driver, or motor to work overtime
and shift during printing. This could be caused by dirt and oil that have accumulated over time and
the debris causes the bushing to seize along the rod.
Resolution
Inspect the X+Y axis smooth rods and linear bearings. NOTE: Grease based lubricant can seize
and damage linear bearings. We don't recommend re-oiling the rods or bearings as must
lubricants dry, and gunk up even faster.
1. Clean with a bit of degreaser (WD-40) by spraying a small amount onto a towel and wiping along the
rod (move the extruder around by hand to rotate the rod and move the sliders).
2. Also, apply degreaser between the bushing and rod to remove any grime between the moving
components.

- Page 3 This could be due to several things such as software extrusion temperature lower than normal, print speed on the Trifecta software exceeds the rate in which the filament can be melted, using a non-VariQuest filament, filament on the spool is in a tangle, or the hotend is clogged. Resolution 1.
- Page 4 5. Check to see if the hotend is clogged. It could be clogged from dust and other small particles that may have been exposed to the filament when left in the open-air space. User’s Guide a.
