Can i expect more than this?
Hi all
So i have a prusa i3 mk2s and have been printing on and off for half a year now. I'm trying to print part of a lamp screen. The wall is 1 mm thick.
I'm getting some layer shifting, i guess it is. Is this to be expected or can i do something about it?

Re: Can i expect more than this?
That is beyond out of whack. I have had my printer for as long on and off printing but it has no issue like that on walls as thin as 0.5mm thick. Try printing slower.
Re: Can i expect more than this?
that's pretty thin and probably moving around while it's prints and maybe more cooling? slower or a different orientation might help... hard to say. but i'm sure it could be way better than this.
Re: Can i expect more than this?
can you use spiral vase mode?

this was printed in vase mode
with the external perimeter extresion with set at 1mm
and it came out at .97mm thick wall

Thanks for replying. Doesent seem like slower makes much diff. I think ill try to replace sone x axis bearings. They are emitting ratteling noises.

Yes it moves a bit late in the print but not in the beginning. Cant do vase mode on this model.
I will try to tension the belts more and replace x axis bearings.
Thanks.

Seems like belts are too loose perhaps.
