Good day! I am running a Klipperized Sovol SV06+ and have been getting some really great prints. I am however having an issue where lately I am having to adjust the Z offset with each new print. I did a first layer calibration and got a perfect result but after a couple prints I saw I needed to lower it to get a good first layer. Again I printed a few and then again I needed to lower it. This has happened a few times.

Yesterday I was printing a pretty large print and midway through the extruder shifted (the print remained secure to the bed) and continued printing. After I canceled the print I had to lower the Z offset much further than I thought was possible. I am concerned that the bed keeps “lowering”.

I have a very good bed mesh loaded (used the silicone bed leveling mid I have seen discussed). I am just unsure why this is needing to be adjusted and why the last print went wonky (related?)

Thanks much!

    I have run into this problem with my cr10s. Drove me absolutely crazy. The problem in my case was the z-gantry was dipping slightly lower than its supposed to as it came down. This was due to not having everything appropriately tightened. Also, the vertical screw rods needed to be lubricated as they didnt rotate equally.

    Maybe thats your problem too?
