The waves were still there, just less pronounced but same location. <br /><br /></p><p>I've done these following steps: </p><p>Loosened and tightened the x axis belt, tuned it to 89 hz.  Loosen it to 69 hz, tightened to 120 hz, zero change in the wave pattern.</p><p>Cleaned and re-lubed the Z axis and X axis. </p><p>Re-build the X axis carriage (not including the Nextruder)</p><p>tested every single screw for tightness. </p><p>Used both my and another's users profile, so no custom changes I've done.</p><p>Updated firmware to newest firmware.</p><p>Before I pull apart the Nextruder and try to realign the bearings, I'm looking for anyone's opinion on this issue. <br /><br />I don't feel any snagging or pinching on the x-axis. Vase mode does not see these waves. </p><p>Any opinions are welcome. </p>]]></content:encoded>
