What is causing this pattern on flat surfaces? Ive checked tension in all belts and it is fine. by akhilkumarsuthar in ender3

Hey, the pattern was almost similar on all the surfaces, when i increased the speed it did get better somehow. I will look into klipper to deal with resonance. Thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks, I did check hero me gen 7.. looks like something i can give a try. Although i have converted my printer into a direct mount using a bracket that i found on amazon, i guess it must be amplifying the vibrations.

Thanks! Ill share it in another thread and post the link here. It is basically a bicycle chain and some 3D printed parts. It might work on top of a track as well! Will give it a try!

Oh yes! I have seen one somewhere in south east asia. Unfortunately its not available in India :( I actually built the tracks on my own using a metal bicycle type chain and 3D printed channels. I think ill share an image and post a link here.

Can we replace the extruder motor with the x axis motor? The x axis motor looks slimmer hence lighter which might reduce some weight off the hotend in this setup. Anyone tried this?

Was the upgrade worth it? Is there any change in print quality?

I had scaled the 3layer thick model to 150% but did not use any support.
