@Julian or anyone. I'm having a rough time with this printer. I can't seem to get consistent prints. Usually it's the front (beginning of the print) curls up a bit. Even when there's good stick to the bed. Now I have layer shifting. It's about to the point where I want to just start over with instructions, but they were such a nightmare before. Any tips on the layer shifts and the curling?

Turns out the shifting was (surprise surprise) caused by a loose belt. So Now my concerns are the curling.
Hey,

the curling sometimes does appear when you print right before the edge of the heat bed AND/OR if the nozzle is to near to the belt. Could you please show me a side view of your belt where i can see the position of the nozzle over the heatbed?

Hi, I also had a slight problem with sliding layers, try adding a fan to cool the electronics, maybe it will help.

Normaly we saw problems like this when the printer is leveled to near to the belt. Could you try to level it just a bit more away from the belt?
