Good start. Looks like your fist layer needs a bit of work. I would probably start with calibrating your extruder first.

@Keith_Applegarth thanks. Yes I did adjust that screw on the extruder. Also between the 2nd and 3rd I took the brown tape off the bed and used the blue painters tape. First layer doesn’t move now… I just have a issue where my right z motor isn’t keeping up with the left one resulting in a stall when it’s moving up. I find the rod that goes into the motor doesn’t fall directly into the motor so I think I’ll redrill the holes to mount the motor so it aligns properly

@Blaine_Lefebvre You may want to measure the Z axis on both sides. Make sure they are the same. An uneven Z axis will bind and cause weird issues if it doesn’t bind.

@Keith_Applegarth thanks again. will do

I just got the same printer and finished assembling last night. Haven’t tried printing for real yet.
