Hi,
I have been using my Voron 2.4 for a few months now and up until recently have been getting pretty good print quality.
I have come across an issue where I am getting inconsistent z movement during printing. A small part I was trying to print was 30.6mm high in CAD. However, when printing towards the front of my bed, it ended up being almost 3mm taller than in the design! Similarly, on the rear side of the bed, the part is still 0.8-1mm larger!
I did some investigating and found the following:
- My bed is pretty level. There doesn't seem to be any issues there.
- I can run a Quad Gantry Level, which levels the gantry very well at a z-height of 1-5mm. However, as I move the gantry higher it begins to tilt. At a z height of 100mm the difference in height between the rear left and front right carriages was almost 10mm!
I am certain that the issue lies with z-belt tension and/or stretching. However, I was wondering if there are any other causes I should be looking into that may be contributing?
Thanks!
