Slanted print output Help!

I have 3d printer that built by my friend after some print i notice that when i print wide the output is slanted but when i print tall object the output is not slanted

can you print the shark again, and leave it on the print bed and then take an image? there may be some mechanical issues, but you can slow down feedrate and it should resolve most of it.

What printer is that on? Is it by chance a Printrbot Simple? If so, there are a number of threads on printrbottalk.com about this issue.

btw i used PLA. when the bolt and nut print together it will slant but when i print just the bolt the output is ok.

this is may printer may by my friend he's far from me so i cant bring it to him

the issue could be mechanical. showing us a picture of the part and the printer it is running on after the object prints will be helpful in troubleshooting possible mechanical failure.

When Printing the Shark


Finish Printing

slow down acceleration on x/y axis. the tail of the shark has ruff stepped edges which means it does not skip evenly across the layers. there is a part in the video to the left of the fin, that accelerates rapidly. i think this is where the skipping is occurring. it is either mechanical such as loose pulleys, loose belt, or motor not tight enough on pulley. if those have been checked then slow down your acceleration in configuration.h file. make sure max speed for z is 3mm/s or 180mm/m and that acceleration is lowered to 3000 from 5000 on x/y axis. also lower jerk speed to say 15 for x/y axis. at the very least you want to half the settings of acceleration and see if that helps. z axis speed is to assure you are getting proper height per layer.
