The full story
A 3D printer's first layers kept failing on one side. Working with Claude Code, the maker ran bed-level tests and found that the bed warped as it heated. Claude also made a tool showing which side was out of level.
Temperature-tower, stringing and flow tests helped tune the printer, with the selected settings saved in Orca Slicer. The maker reports adding a progress dashboard for their phone and Home Assistant tablet, ntfy start/finish alerts and a history of print temperatures and results.
Before and after
- Starting problem
- First layers failed on one side, and checking progress meant walking to the basement.
- Reported result
- The maker reports calibrated settings, progress streaming and start/finish notifications.
