        <title>Jerky Y Axis During Printing</title>
        <description> I&#039;m having an issue with a jerky Y axis during printing. The bed moves back and forth fine using manual controls, but during printing, it jerks with every step. In the picture, you can see the sawtooth pattern in the supports. What would cause this to occur?
