from leadscrew to belts
-
Well i had a Heavy Z pattern cause by a bending leadscrew , some people suggested that i try some belt since i have a long Z axis , so i ended creating a pulley box for a few ratio giving a total of 480 e step , still need to do some tweaking will probably had some kind of counter weight to help the stepper motor and reduce acceleration when it goes down when power go off , need to print a few pieces but my cheap mosfest melted a connector for the heat bed , ordered another one for backup and got a SSR 40A as well , so probably gonna switch to that , ordered myself a non metallic electrical box as well so i can move the duet in there and other component and have a cleaner cable management ,
here a picture of the test print belt setup is on the left vs leadscrew on the right , way smoother compared to before .I believe once i got it back running the next few print are going to be amazing , it been a money pit so far but it been challenging !

What! You have a 3D printer but bought a non-metallic box?
