Define “Fail.” Did the print come free of the platform? (Usually causes spaghettification) - check your first layer/Z offset. Start with the paper spacing, end with a live Z tune. Did the extruder stop doing it’s thing? (Clog, blob, stopped) - Make sure your nozzle has been tightened with the head preheated. - Make sure that your filament is not tangled. ---

At about 1 inch in height. The nozzle starts scraping against the item knocking it over or moving it aside. Its perfect below 1 inch ---

There is no “first layer /z offset” in sovol 3d settings. I see initial layer horizontal expansion, or infill x offset. Can u be specific what setting to change. My paper is set to barely scratch. It must be something about the z offset not raising enough per layer? So the higher i go it eventually fails… should i do the paper thing and open it up so it barely scrathes? Well it allready barely scratches but maybee more? Help ---

Ok layer height is .15 and initial layer height is .3. I just changed it to .4. Should i change the .15? ---

It is probably a bed leveling issue. Getting the first layer correct is very important. Make sure you do z alignment calibration before you do bed leveling.
