First Print Issues

Just set up my new MK3s and the selftest & calibration were correct/perpendicular. Adjusted my Z to -0.84 and tried to print Benchy off the SD card. Had some issues though. This is my first 3D printer, so I'm not really sure what to do to improve it. Any ideas?

RE: First Print Issues

Check all of your axis, if they move without problems, turn printer off, and move it with your hands.

Moving all axis to the end points, check where it hits the printer, a cable or cable holder it should not hit.

Then check belts , are they tide enough or to loose, and with belts check if you grub screw is not loose.

Put thin oil on your rods, oil with PTFE inside.(this have you to do every few weeks).

The X axis grub screw was a little loose. Tightening it solved the issue.
