Hello ive got issues when i pause the printer even for a second when it starts its shifting the layer and prints in the air. I did couple calibrations but didn’t solve the issue also there is really strange noise from the bed when under calibration. Dont know if the issue is because of leveling or firmware. Also it already broke the nozzle brush i dont know if this is something usual or its due to a problem ---

Hi, Did you check this point : > [@My brand new printer crashes in to itself in the begginning of a print and never starts printing](https://forum.sovol3d.com/t/my-brand-new-printer-crashes-in-to-itself-in-the-begginning-of-a-print-and-never-starts-printing/6450/2): > > Hello, You probably forgot a block of foam under the bed. Everyone forgets it. First of all, you have to flip the printer. You can’t see this block, it’s between the bed and the rail. ---

Is it okay nozzle to scratch the bed like this also sometimes is missing the nozzle brush (some of the brush pins are missing and i dont event print always doing like this before printing ![IMG_20250104_173422](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sovolforum/original/2X/9/902200af6b18abe38b2a48ee8d814c3250189a1c.jpeg) ---

You’re talking about the block on the back of the printer between the bed and the rails. The one you can’t see? ---

When you have done your factory reset, have you redone the automatic auto calibration? ---

Not sure if it would be any help now, but I had similar issues straight out of the box of some dramatic layer shifting after the first dozen or so layers. After my hotend fully busted through my attempts to fix and clean it, they sent me a replacement. After that my printer basically acted like the perfect little princess, no issues with Z offset or layer shifting anymore. I also got a textured PEI plate from com-grow based on a recommendation at the time but I dont know how much it affected the fix. My theory is due to the incredibly thin fragile wiring in the hotend, a lot of them get damaged during assembly and shipping and may trip up the calibration. Hope you managed to fix it on your end ages ago! Thought I should mention my own situation just incase anyone comes looking later on.
