This is a cry for help. I have a Monoprice Voxel which is basically a Flashforge Adventurer 3. Owned for about 3 years now, and still have only a slight idea as to what I am doing. I have been successful with small prints, little thin walled custom functional prints, and they do fine. Trying to print anything longer than 3 hours and I start having issues. I printed a torture toaster and attached is the result. I have never had layer shift like this. Was wondering if anyone out there had any pointers or tips for this printer and pla prints? Are there any other testing prints I can use to help tune and hone in on a perfect print? Good resources for using these testers to tune your prints? Thanks in advance!
I have worked through a TON of troubleshooting on my previous PLA printer(Voxelab Aquilla). The toaster torture test is a beast of print, and it is meant to fail and find the limits of your printer. I would start with much simpler tests. Have you done any simpler temp tower or chep cubes? Or any of the bed level prints? Share photos of some other prints so we can get a better idea of what all is going on.
I am not familiar with how monoprice printers work - but what slicers(s) have you tried/used? Are you leaving default speeds/temps? Is it always the same filament?
