Small eyeball friend at the end as a treat.

I want to say, I am a Near Complete NOOB to printing. I sculpt the models myself and use OrcaSlicer for my Anycubic Kobra 2 Max.

I have excelent bed adhesion most of the time, to the point it rips off the little raised bits in the textured bed when I remove the prints, but the nozzle does not gouge the bed.

I had great success with Benchy and a little eyeball man, as well as a larger eyeball man.

Tried to print these Deeho dog things and... it kinda went to crap. Then the supports in the dragons afterwards went weird. I'm too afraid to waste filament on more failed prints.

Also, the dang supports are so tough to get off, but that's a different issue.

Mostly the coiling on the legs.

These prints failed later on, so I don't think the coiling did that. But it's so weird to see a print recover back to normal layers after that weirdness.

Not sure what flair to use. I am EXTREMELY new to 3D printing and have been fighting this printer for over a week. (Also new to reddit and on mobile)

Basically Modual Calibration won't let me push the thing to the button. The -x button won't go further.

I don't trust AI as far as I can throw it so I'm coming here to ask if it's advice is decent. I HAVE NOT FOLLOWED IT YET, I DON'T TRUST IT.

I have done numerous factory resets and it's still like 2mm off.

Other things that's wrong with it, if yall want other posts or for me to elaborate here:

1. If I don't push the head all the way back over to the left before I press the homing button, it shoves it violently to the right, then slams the nozzle holder thing into the plate. Not the nozzle itself, because it's too far over. (Have video)

2. It does not see the filament that's in it. Donno why. Extrudes it fine, I suppose (can make video), just... donno. I turn filament detecting off and it seems fine?

3. This sucker REFUSES to connect to the internet. Like, it sees the internet, connects to it (2.4GHz), but it won't se the computer and the computer (on the same network) won't see it. It sees USB drives fine though, so not a big deal

DETAILS

Anycubic Kobra 2 Max

Filament is PLA-S in metal blue from anycubic

Uh... nozzle is .4? No clue, whatever jt came with

Firmware is up to date at Anycubic 3.5.1

If you need more details, please ask and tell me where to find them and I'll do my best.

I'm dumb and forgot the video.

I don't know what's happening really. It keeps asking me to home the axis first, but it can't seem to figure out the Z-axsis. It just runs off the edge and then makes that horrible noise. It's not even gouging, even the nozzle is off the plate.

Absolute noob here so be kind, but thorough! Every step is appreciated!

Editing ti also add, My computer and it can't seem to see eachother at all. I'm on 2.4GHz, both are connected to the same one, I made sure it was private so devices could see eachother, Signed in to CubicSlicer Next, and added the CN code to my account. Please let me know if I should make a seperate post for that.
