Re: Calibration Cube Issue - S3D
Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2017 4:43 am
I was going to create a new thread but I am having the exact same issue as Rara. Both the black PLA from MakerGear and the red PLA PRO (PLA+) from eSun have these gaps in the top and the bottom of the print.
My cubes are measuring ~19.97 on one side and ~20.03 on the other, with height measuring just above or at 20. I printed one block at 0.2mm layer height and one at 0.1mm layer height in each color, but added more top and bottom layers with the red. The smaller squares in the back were testing extrusion multipliers (0.91 and 0.95). The 0.95 was puffier around the overlap but still has the same gap.
I am mostly perplexed by the gap only, but consistently, showing up every two threads. This, mixed with the varying (and also consistent) measurements on X and Y, make me think it is belt tension or firmware based. Could belt tension cause this (i.e. is it backlash error)? Could factory high acceleration settings be amplifying or causing the issue? Any incite is greatly appreciated.
