      Roll the lead screws on a flat surface

      This is absolutely ok. It has been my first test.

        Is this issue dependent on layer TIME at all?

        I don't think so. Rather it depend on height of the model: different models same errors at same height.

          Are you using the same thermistor in your heat bed as for your hotends? Your config indicates this. I don't see any heater model parameters in your M307 command for the bed heater. This would be using the default heater model, which is based on an e3d V6, no?

          Yes , I'm using e3d V6. I'll try to repeat auto-tuning of PID for the nozzle. Maybe the error is due by the instable temperature.

            Have you pid tuned the bed as well? Bang Bang mode on the bed could cause some up and down motion via warping and expansion.

              @Phaedrux I think it’s worse than that. The user seems to be using pid with the bed but using default parameters. This may not be worse than bang bang but it could very well be.

              I don’t think the user understood what I was saying. Tuning the bed PID or trying bang bang was my suggestion, basically. I’m so bad at wording posts.

                Yeah , it is. I've never tuned the bed because I never use it (At least for now ).

                  @zecchi Sorry about that. If you're not heating the bed that is clearly not a factor.

                    Today I'll try the new z axes. I set up them yesterday. My last chance...

                      The problem were the two z axis.
                      Maybe it was due to the elasticity of the belts!!

                      Thanks to all.

                        Congrats on solving the issue.

                        A question out of curiosity, what did you change in your Z axis?

                          Thank you for sharing.
                          So you wouldn't recommend short belts for driving the axis?
                          I was close to modify my HEVO in the same way.
                          By the way, have you designed the geared axis by yourself?

                            I've replaced it in this way:

                            Actually there are other improvements to do (these lead screws are too short ) but for now it's ok

                              All my printer is designed by me.
                              And yeah , belts are not a good solution for high loads.

                                @zecchi Thanks for the info, I also have the same issue as you had (i think), but not as intense as yours and i am running my Z axis with a closed loop belt. I guess i will give the direct a try to see if the issue is going to be completely eliminated for me as well.

                                Cheers!

                                  So I'm guessing eccentric pulley leading to uneven motion.
