Re: Odd circle test results
I see distortion at same 5 and 11 oclock as me (your images are rotated, could tell by the bed screws).
Sorry man, but I think you're deluding yourself Doesn't look any different when comparing in an image editor.
So doesn't seem to be an issue with the motherboard hardware. Which is good, I guess.
Now we have to think of something else.
I havent yet tried reflashing because I'm away from home, but I guess you've already done that since your Rumba didnt come with Marlin preinstalled, right?
I'll still try it myself.
What are we left with now?
Mechanical problems
1) Problem with the motors (unlikely as 1. if underpowered for what it is intended for, unless everyone else owning a SD4 hasnt noticed this, 2. if 4 of us have faulty motor(s), odds of that are also extremely low)
2) problem with the rods (still bending?) or problem with the bushing setup
3) problem with pulleys and belts and all of us fail to calibrate them properly (unlikely)
Software problems
4) Problem with this version of Repetier Host and Slic3r? (unlikely, jagowilson tried with Simplify3D as well)
5) Firmware (Ireinstalled the firmware from the official Marlin webpage, no difference)
6) Driver? (at this point, who knows?)
Electronics problems
7) PSU (at this point unlikely, jagowilson uses a very poweful PSU, Ive tried running with a car battery)
8) wires?
9) motherboard (unlikely, jaqowilson tried with Rumba board)
Are you also sure you're lights are not really dimming and fans are not slowing down? I remember you said you had vision problems. And fan sound change might be hard to notice when you're concentrating on everything else.
