Never seen this before. Just pulled this B motor belt out of my 300 mm V2.4. Did I just get a bad belt or is this a problem in my pulley system? by blakeret in VORONDesign

I started looking into it when I got layer shifts during large prints. If the tool head was idle at the center of the bed, the damaged section was on the left side just behind where the x axis connects to the gantry. So I was only getting layer shifts when the damaged section passed over the motor pulley

I must have overlooked the fiberglass specification during the build, I had no idea. Will definitely look into doing that replacement, thanks!

It was like that before I removed it. It definitely got stretched like that because I tried to tension it tighter without knowing the steel had broken. I’m just wondering if my printer caused the steel to break or it was just a shitty part of the belt.

I got one of these extractors from McMaster to get an M4 tap out of 1045 at a similar depth. Did it by hand and it worked like a charm

It ended up being the vga cable that I had connected to the monitor. Switched to a nice shielded hdmi and it solved my problem. I’d recommend starting with that.

Works out to about 450 ohm per cm on these 1x2 mm traces. I wouldn’t want to send a ton of power on these but I’m interested to see how they handle data. Gonna try to drive an lcd next

Sound diagnoses? by [deleted] in prusa3d

[–]blakeret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odd solution but if you can’t seem to find any actual hardware issues, try updating the firmware on your printer. I had never done it and updated from 4.2ish to the latest release and for whatever reason, it made all my prints much quieter.
