So the way I have my z steppers hooked up the whole x axes hangs on it rather than pushing on it, does this make a difference?
this is how I plan to fix it I will a add linear bearings for the blue lines and then somehow mount the linear bearing cars to the x in a way that it can pivot so it can move independently.

After more testing I Think I am getting z binding on both sides. This would explain why the artifacts do not travel straight through the part but rather make separate patterns on the wall closest to their respective sides while leaving the center looking ok.

@Phaedrux
I think these like pretty good.

"What's the smallest Z step your printer can do?" To be honest I am not sure! they are just stock ender 3 stepper Moters. If it is something mechanical, I am not sure how it is consistent enough to travel up the side of the part like that.

@DIY-O-Sphere I did not even realize I had bang bang on the bed! That would fit with the idea that the layer time effects it. I printed that gear in vase mode, and it was very good. I also tried a Prusa slicer, no change.

@mikeabuilder
If forgot to say it only happens on larger models so I think the z axes can be ruled out.
I use cura so maybe i should try Prusa slicer. Thanks for your ideas!

@Phaedrux
It is a bmg with Bowden.

Do you guys have any idea what is causing theses lines. they seem to travel diagonal on the y axes and then leave a small level layer shift only on the x axes. It is on a modded ender 3 with duet 5 mini.
I am not sure whether to blame hardware or software.

@T3P3Tony Ok, Thank you!

all right I did figure out this problem finally. the deploy probe file was messed up, I'm not sure how it slowly got worse and worse but is now working! I do have one more question however, I am geting this error and I do not know what's wrong does anyone here have answer?
thank you for your help!

@Phaedrux Yes I get 9.9 kΏ.

I don't know what that chip is though.
Does my config look fine?

Is there something on the board that all I/O pins other than 5 and 6 have in common that could have fried?

@Phaedrux
So I clean the board and above the lights on the board it pretty bad but it clean up very well and I could even tell anything was amiss when I was done. So what do I do from here just buy a new board or is there a way I can pinpoint it more?

@53581
I tested my wires and they are good but I have not tried cleaning the board yet.
I have also test from different computer with no results. Thanks again.

Also If the board is bad is there anybody that would repair it?

@Phaedrux said in BLTouch not communicating with my 3 mini:

or another computer to test the BLtouch on?

you mean try it form a different computer via DWC? thank you!

I was using a 3DTouch and I switch from that to a ANTCLABS BLTouch and it did not help.

@Phaedrux
That is my wiring.

@Phaedrux Yes I did. Thanks for working with me!
