So, I’d been tweaking things, and started getting a layer shift problem…
WTH?! Well, the only thing that I’d been changing was mostly firmware, but I was thinking about what you were saying with going too fast, so I dialled up the motor current (a little) and the layer shift got worse.
Turned it back down…not better.
Checked the mechanical parts, all look good.No binding, no grinding noises. Created Gcode that whipped the hotend around in little squares at 150mm/s, looked perfect…
Finally got around to checking grub screws when I ran out of other ideas. Shouldn’t be those, I used loc-tite on those when I installed them…
Funny story there. When the 16T pulleys arrived, there was one with grub screws that had a different size allen key head than the other 4. Guess which one didn’t get Loc-tite?
Y’know those are a serious pain to get a tool in there when they’re on the machine. Even more so when there’s a front panel on, so those grub screws are tight now, but that one still doesn’t have loc-tite. I just know that’ll jump out and bite me if I don’t rectify that situation soon.
Edit: Sometimes, you have to laugh at yourself. Looks much better now with the grub screws taken care of.
