Topic: Y Slips with small infill areas
Recently upgraded to linear bearings and for most part it improved prints along with Z mods things are smoother, less banding etc. I tried speed increase but didn't help too much. I can adjust my belts much tighter and circles are better but my X belt is not lined up from side to side, staggered so the small kink adds some tension and I still think there is overshoot for smaller areas where speed makes it worse. I guess still need less weight on extruder and more torque to get more response.
Anyway I noticed that I had Y skips not X in 1 direction on recent prints. it went away after I lubed and checked tension on a taller part and printed several times then on a smaller Z height part but with similar small area (like .2" wide and 4" long where it has to infill, it skips forward or back and then starts. it is a skip not a bed shift from what i can tell.
So I am thinking maybe it is heat since the extruder is really buzzing and holding the extruder in almost the same position as it jogs back and fourth. I was going to crank the voltage up to get more torque? I have a sure stepper driver with heat s9ink good for 2 amps the stock moor is only at .9 I think and can go up to 1.2 max?
or do I go the opposite and use less voltage to keep heat out?
is there a way in slicer to reduce speed for small areas or change the infill to solid? Reason I say infill to solid layer is because the infill speed is much higher then the solid layer speed and it seems to do fine with solids.
Print for fun and for parts for my sports cars
