Waves on perimeter
Hello! I've contacted the support a few of times in the past weeks about issues I have with my XL5T where the perimeters are quite wavy. It also tends to be more severe on the right side of the bed. It's not related to the tool as it happens with all of them.
I also have an XL2T right next to it and it has no issues at all (they're on separated furnitures so each vibrations don't impact the other). FYI I'm at the very latest FW version for both my XL(6.4.0+11974).
Following the support chats I've done many things:
- loosen and retighten all screws related to the Z axis while the printer is moving (top screws + trapezoidal nuts while moving down, motor screws while moving up)
- tool offset calibration
- dock calibration
- cleaning most things
- lubricating the 3 bronze blocks on each extruders
- lubricating all axis
- verify the belt tensions (also printed the homing tower gcode which got printed quite perfectly)
- did a hard reset so had to redo the complete calibrating afterwards
In my opinion it seems more like a hardware issue given the full reset did not change anything, and since my XL2T has no issue with the same FW, but I can't see what. The printer is stable and with exact same setup as the XL2T (above two 2x2 KALLAX with concrete slabs above to make everything stable), I've also checked under the each of its feet if there could be any debris. Also each prints from the pictures above are from files that I've already printed many times before and always without any waves.
Do you have any further ideas of what could be wrong? I've had that for 1-2 months now and I've had the printer working flawlessly since I got it more than a year ago up until when this issue started.
Thanks for your help!
