Can you take some photos of what happened? (Simply drag and drop the images onto a NEW line in the reply.)

Often, when we see an offset this large, it occurs because the head was physically moved or accidentally bumped, which affects the current calibration. I extracted the logs from your Glowforge to investigate the print you reported trouble with, and it looks like the printer head did not start from the “home” position. The head may have been inadvertently moved or bumped while preparing a print.

Based on your recent Glowforge logs, it looks like you’ve printed without encountering this issue, that’s great!

If you run into trouble again, please try the following steps:

  1. Turn your Glowforge off, and wait about five seconds
  2. Turn your Glowforge back on
  3. Wait until all motion has stopped for 30 seconds
  4. Try your print again

I’m going to close this thread - if the problem reoccurs, go ahead and post a new topic.
