Hello all,
I upgraded several months ago to tap and stealthburner and have been having intermittent issues since.
I first noticed it with this model. https://1drv.ms/i/s!As3BjAMCoBAWi84sMYw1ZXiPRIMIGw?e=nRuwe5

I printed a bunch of these and the z-wobble issues weren't exactly in the same pattern every time, so I don't think it's a z-belt or z-rail issue.
I did a bunch of testing and what I noticed is that if the model is simple, the prints come out perfect, but if the model is more complex I get issues. Note how when I put embossed text into the model I get an ugly print, but the one without text looks great. That's been reproducible across many test prints.

It just really makes some of my prints look terrible:

I thought maybe it was belt tension, so I double checked my belts to make sure they were good.
I thought maybe I had something loose, so I checked any bolts I could get to and felt around to see if anything was loose.
I thought maybe it was inconsistent diameter of the filament, so I switched filaments and had the same issue.
I thought it could be a pressure advance issue, so I re-tuned PA and that didn't fix the issue.
I tried slowing the print down, and it helped a bit, but not much.
I tried cutting all my acceleration speeds in half thinking maybe I'm skipping steps and that didn't seem to help.
The other (maybe unrelated issue) I noticed is that in a model I recently printed I'm getting gaps? That seemed to get better with a higher print temp though.

I'm really kind of stumped at this point....
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks for wading through all this!
