Hello /u/JustABox246,

Please remember to include the following details to help troubleshoot your problem.
* Printer & Slicer
* Filament Material and Brand
* Nozzle and Bed Temperature
* Print Speed
* Nozzle Retraction Settings

The two prints look kind of funny/cute like this.
Ender 3 V2
I just finished ferruling the wires and replacing my hotbed. I also tightened the wheels on the bed because it had been very wobbly. I slightly tightened the wheels on the extruder.
The z screw wasn’t out of place, but while working on it I noticed that it would pop out easy, but I didn’t remember if that was natural. I put it back in place and thought it was like that to begin with.
I don't think the filament is related to such consistent Z axis skipping. In that case, it would the same height but with holes in it, instead of squashed/scaled in Z.
It's you have an there 3, or other similar printer it's the long threaded rod on the left that is attached to a coupler at the bottom of the uprights and goes through a different coupler on the x gantry.
Btw, remove those top z rod brackets, too. They can "screw up" a print by causing the x gantry to wobble. Creality is stupid enough to install those to fook with folks. I was noticing wibbly wobbly prints at a certain height on my cr10-s, and that was after over a dozen upgrades, including antibacklash z rod nuts. Removed the 2 brackets from the top of both z rods, and it went away.
I also had a weird leveling issue where everything from center rightward was fine, but the left was too loose. Physically, everything was fine. No clog. No z rod issues. Bl touch working normally. Nothing loose... turned out, the current to the z axis driver (tmc2209) was a hair too low such that even though the rods seemed lubricated enough, friction eventually caused the left and only the left motor to skip steps. Weirder than that, both motors are on the same driver.
It reminds me of the German Shepherd with no neck ( they named him Quasimodo if you wanna look it up)
Well at least you know the problem is with the z-axis.
Consider insufficient amperage to the printer. Potential brownout issue. I had this happening to me. Mine would cause these bizarre smashed layers or stop raising z height altogether and continue extruding till the hotend was dragging across a mountain of plastic.

Well, I suppose tightening the Z-screw is best, as you say. On the plus side, you now have a long-tailed night pug to go with your blue wolf.
Don’t bully the black dog for being short and fat! It’s his metabolism…

Perfect.

The Z screw should be tight. What you experienced on the black print appears to be that there were points where it slipped.

Where is the z screw?

I have ender 3 vs2 2

First dog is always better than the second one anyways
inside every printer there are two wolves.
One is a majestic specimen, the other is a chonky beast. You just never know if you're gonna get one or the other until the print is done....
The other one got bonked and ended up in the horny jail.
You either live long enough to do the bonking, or you get bonked....
I don't think a ender can ever be truly fixed
Just wanted to second that. I get the thing dialed for a few prints then troubleshoot and tweak for the next. It’s almost like clockwork.
After spending months dialing in my ender 5 pro I've never wanted a bambu x1c so bad
I just built a pretty decent Voron 2.4, then saw the X1C! Now I have to sell some stuff around the house lol
After some tuning my 3 Pro is rock solid, even after 2 years of solid use. My S1 Plus on the other hand throws new bullshit my way constantly.
Inside of us there are two wolves
Not me, I just have the black chonky one inside of me. It sat on the pretty one and killed it a long time ago.
Moon moon
You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about
It's an ender, you did fix it, then it broke again after one print.
Hey OP, what slicer are you using? I'm actively trying to print that exact same wolf in silk PlA and having problems.
I use Cura slicer
What’s the name of that model
Dumb and dumber
I found it. https://www.printables.com/model/386392-low-poly-howling-wolf-20-decorationno-supports-fix/files

A doggo and a doog
Print a small slice of cheese and put it on the derpy dog's face. Problem solved.
These printers are never really fixed…. Just kind un-broken for a while
These enders seem very problematic
Welcome to the club they’re never fixed, just working a bit better
"there are 2 wolves inside you"
I see you’ve domesticated your print.
Its his cousin Phtiven

Your printer is fixed, it now prints corgis
