Ringing test - 2h 32minutes total print time.

  • ran out of filament halfway through, had to switch over to what was handy (very old black PLA)
  • obvious underextrusion issues with the black PLA

That said, not too bad - very few noticeable ringing artifacts.

The biggest issue I had was that the Z bed wasn’t rock solid, and kept bouncing up and down by about 0.1mm. Definitely need to fix that!

But the core-T mechanic seems to be a reasonable alternative for moderate speed machines - at least for X lengths of 300mm or less.

What speed / accel / jerk are you running?

Printing at 60mm/sec, with accel of 200 in both X and Y, and jerk of 40.

Conservative settings, I believe.

If always that

//Disables axis when it’s not being used.

#define DISABLE_Z true

If for the first time that try to lower pressure on axis Z

The issue is more that my cantilevered Z plate was actually bouncing up and down - and my Z axis drive is a belt, so I don’t thing disabling my stepper motor will help much!

I’ve gotten the z wobble fixed, and solved the extrusion calibration missing/deleted image from Google+
