Once again, I come to reddit for help. Interesting course of events with this print.

1- it ovbously didn't finish. The nozzle knocked a smaller, critical support structure over, and it needed to be stopped.

2- There's this interesting ringing showing up on one piece, but not the others.

3- I noticed that after the first few layers, the nozzle was dragging across the print, making a grinding sound. So, i adjusted the z-offset on the fly, but a few hours later, it's dragging once again.

I adjusted my flow at one point, hence the layer shift, but that's something I'm aware of. Current set up-

Creality 4.2.7 board

Dual z axis

Sprite Pro w/ CRTouch

PEI magnetic bed

Using a CRtouch on a sprite hotend with the offsets set as close as I am humanly able to. Running mriscoc, and I'm starting with the bed tramming wizard. Everything is within tolerance (-.02), but when I run the auto mesh, all 4 corners wind up abysmally low. Then, when trying to print with it (with the proper G-code), the z offset winds up completely different from the z offset wizard. I expect a lower Z offset because I'm using washers to get the probe lower than the nozzle, but im getting really low readings during printing (under -1.0). Ive tried manually leveling as well, and I'm receiving the same results on the mesh build, low corners. Besides my bed being horribly bowed (which i doubt it's THIS bowed), what else could be causing these issues?

As the title says; this is more of a vent than anything else, but any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Installed my new Sprite Pro extruder that comes with its own BL/CRtouch bracket. One would assume that this bracket would be offset correctly so that the pin deploys lower than the extruder. One would assume wrong. It's such a small difference that the photo itself is difficult to discern the flaw, but with the front fan at an angle, it's actually sitting lower than the probe. Meaning it's crashing into my bed, and it doesn't even know it. One washer has not been enough. So, I'm off to two, but who knows how many it will take /s 🙄

I printed a bracket specifically for this purpose. When it's in the printer, the holes dont line up for the board, and vice versa. Those who have managed to install this board; any tips? It seems the board is sits just a touch too high for the aquila points to settle in.
