That's good to know. I think I mostly stuck with PrusaSlicer because I wasn't familiar with the interfaces of any other slicer, but that's easily solvable :) I'll definitely try out Orca soon!

Yeah, that might be worth trying actually. I don't know why I never considered that :)

I've already got perimeters set to print first in the slicer, I'm pretty sure that's the default in PrusaSlicer (at least for the profile that I based mine off of) I'm disinclined to think this, since I tuned the extrusion multiplier to within a percent using Ellis' tuning guide and my top...

The actual speed of the overhanging (external) perimeters seems to be 30mm/s, which is what I set it to. The weird thing that I have noticed is that it only seems to be a problem with these think walled parts, since all of my other overhangs turn out nearly perfectly, even beyond 75%. When I...

I am planning on upgrading to the Stealthburner shortly, however, I'm not sure it'll solve all of my problems. To try to rule out cooling as an issue I printed another test object with a large tower fan pointed into the printer chamber,. running full blast the entire time. In spite of this, the...

I've been having this specific problem for nearly as long as I've been using this printer. The issue is that when I try to print an overhanging fillet or chamfer (such as the test part pictured), the overhanging bit of the layer seems to curl up and continues doing this until the print reaches...

I did notice that the belts were hitting the extrusion slot covers that I was using, but even after removing them, the noise did not decrease significantly. The belts on slot covers noise was much softer and sounded more like a soft sliding, whereas the other belt noises sounded more like a...

Yeah, that'll be what I will probably have to do if it does come back, although I also rebuilt most of the motion system when I replaced all of the printed parts about 200-250 hours in, which didn't really seem to help things so its possible that it wouldn't help.

Ok, so I’ve finally got around to doing some troubleshooting. The first thing I did was remove the belts to check if the problem was the linear rails, but it was not. Everything moved smoothly and silently without the belts. Next, I installed some 0.3mm thick M5 washers between each set of...

That sounds like a pretty cool trick. I'll definitely have to give that a try.

That is certainly the methodical approach and as such, is likely the best way to go about things. I'll definitely report back when/if I find the problem.

That's good to know, although that now makes me even more confused as to where the noise is coming from :)

Ok, so I’ve looked over the bearing stacks and everything seems alright from what I can see. I took a few pictures showing the bearing stack on the left (from the back) and some of the wear on the top of the belts that looks like the inside reinforcement of the belts to me. See below: Also, I...

Ok, I'll take a look around those spots when I get the chance. Is there any specific reason why I am looking for excess grease?

Yes, I have unracked the to the best of my ability. It does not seem to bind when moving it around and the Z joints seem to line up fine when installing the gantry. I'm pretty sure that the belts are tensioned equally, however I have yet to put a number on how well tensioned they are. When I...
