vertical banding. I know it is from my belt because it is spaced the same as my belt notches but I cannot figure out the mechanism by which it happens.
At 1000mm/sec or say at 400 I still get it so I can't imagine it is a resonance...or is it?
Is the head moving faster and then slower because of the belt notches?
The engraving I am doing is 52 layers at 30 power on my 150W and takes over 10 hours or more depending on size of course. I want to up it to over 100 layers for larger more detailed projects...but not with these results.
Any ideas at all? (Many hundreds of hours invested into this project already.)
Should I go to a rail and ball screw gantry system? Anyone have one?
Whatever the cause, I need it gone. I don't care what the cost is.....within reason.
One thought I had, and it would be a hassle, would be to to move every layer 1mm to the left and move my piece 1mm to the left as well. : (
edit: Oh, I forgot to add, I have tightened the belt without any difference.
