Y Axis movement, smooth or not?
I have a very well defined ribbed pattern on the Y axis of my prints that just recently showed up. I did not notice this before, but when I manually move the Y axis with my hand (when powered down) the movement is not perfectly smooth. I can feel a step type vibration which I am guessing is the individual steps the motor makes. When I slide my MK2 bed back and forth it is a much more smooth movement.
Is this very slight "jerking" movement normal or should it be very smooth as my MK2. If smooth is the norm, could I have a bad Y motor? Or maybe a belt that it too tight (I have never adjusted it and the problem just recently showed up).
