1. Check Belt Tension
- Ensure that the belts on the X and Y axes are properly tensioned. Loose belts can lead to print inaccuracies.
- For guidance on adjusting belt tension, refer to the following resource:
2. Inspect Freedom of Movement
- Verify that the X and Y axes move smoothly without any obstructions. Manually move the print head and bed to check for any resistance.
3. Evaluate Print Adhesion and Sheet Slip
- Prints should adhere firmly to the print sheet.
- Ensure the print sheet is strongly magnetized and that it isn’t shifting during printing. It should take some force to move the sheets; if it slides or slips easily it should be replaced.
4. Check First Layer Calibration
- Proper first layer calibration is crucial for adhesion and overall print quality. Make sure this is set correctly.

5. Additional Issues
- It is also possible that poor print quality is causing blobs that catch on the nozzle. Refer to general print issues troubleshooting:
