Topic: Z wobble

Does anyone know how to solve this problem:

I get wobbly results on Z axis. I used to think that it keeps shifting left and right when it's rising on Z axis, but it actually makes it wider and thinner. Anyone has a clue what could this be caused by?

Results produced by slicing software look fine.

Re: Z wobble

Number of items. Obvious is tighten belts .

For me, it was the right back Z rail platform bushings loose.
The right side are open. Not enclosed like the left.
Grab the sides of the heated platform and wiggle side to side while watching the rail and platform for movement.
Its pretty noticeable if they are loose. Reglue in place using Devcon 2part plastic welder. Dont have to dismantle.
Ck all Y and X open bushings also. All of mine were loose.
Reglued every bushing.

Also there is tightness kit for the Y rails. Gives rounder circles.
