Jan 24, 2020 at 15:30 comment added Carl Witthoft YOu may well have a high point on your bed there - see how your first layers aren't covering very well.
Jan 24, 2020 at 15:29 comment added Carl Witthoft I hear a thunk like that in 2 cases. 1) putting down first or second layer with insufficient clearance so extruder doesn't release any material & the filament advancer slips. 2) too much material released, making mounds or blobs which solidify high enough that the extruder tip runs into them next layer around. This can push the part and/or drivers off position
Jan 24, 2020 at 15:12 comment added stevex The only thing that makes me suspect something mechanical is the little "thunk" when it starts moving again, like it got physically stuck and then unstuck. You can hear it on the video. Need a printer whisperer to tell me what that means. :)
Jan 24, 2020 at 15:11 comment added stevex I did check for the cables getting stuck on something - nothing seems to be in the way. I can move the bed back and forth by pulling on the pulley belt by hand and it feels smooth.
Jan 24, 2020 at 15:07 comment added Trish did you check for the possibility of the bed cable chain dragging somewhere, possibly from a piece that fell into the printer?

Jan 24, 2020 at 14:41 comment added 0scar Welcome to 3DPrinting.SE! As you have looked into the mechanical aspects, the electronics are a big suspect in solving this issue. It looks as if it skips a whole lot of steps.
